Boston Property Report — 2026-08-13

37 qualifying corridor listings across all seven in-scope towns (26 active, 10 pending, 1 status-unconfirmed) — Rehoboth MA is again by far the deepest at 16 but every parcel fails the 10-minute rail rule at an estimated 18–22 minutes, Norwood MA again returns zero active inventory, and Sharon MA is unusually strong at four actives. The cheapest entries are Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 (pending, commercial zoning) and 0 Britton Ave, Stoughton MA at $100,000 (active this run), the cheapest active buildable residential parcel with a public utility confirmed is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 with public water at the street, and the strongest all-round parcel is again 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA, now asking $699,000 after a $40,000 cut, with a new 5-bedroom septic and an estimated 8–10 minutes to both Attleboro Station and Sturdy Memorial. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed still closed with no ER on site — two operators are reportedly in takeover talks under the 2026 eminent-domain law but only a limited urgent-care operation exists there — so the 15-minute hospital criterion effectively fails corridor-wide except at the Attleboro MA / Mansfield MA end near Sturdy Memorial. 10 RI beach-area rental buy candidates plus 1 flagged Bonnet Shores cabana non-dwelling, with 3 named no-rental cottage colonies excluded (Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow and Roy Carpenter's Beach in South Kingstown RI, and the independently discovered Knowles Camp on Burnside Ave, Narragansett RI); zero mobile/manufactured homes again in every target beach town, and the Warwick RI shore micro-neighborhoods return zero geographically confirmed candidates this run. Narragansett RI's 2024 permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined and unenforced with the town drafting a zoning-based rewrite, and the statewide 5% RI whole-home STR tax is confirmed in force since 2026-01-01. The duplex section returns 36 two-unit properties — 14 in the MA corridor (Attleboro MA deepest at 4, from $525,000) and 22 in RI (Warwick RI deepest at 8, Warren RI at 5) — with Jamestown RI confirmed at zero duplex inventory, and Zillow unusually readable for RI while Redfin was fully gated corridor-wide.
Criteria. Section 1 (corridor land & homes): 0.75–5.0 acres inclusive; vacant/buildable land, teardown-grade structures, or existing single-family homes; public water and sewer at the street preferred but unknown-utility listings are kept; ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton line station; ≤15 min to a hospital; ≤30 min to a highly rated library; ≤30 min to a Planet Fitness. Manufactured-home requirement dropped (2026-07-31). Towns: Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Norwood, Mansfield, Attleboro, and Rehoboth MA (02769) — Rehoboth included flagged despite failing the rail rule. Section 2 (beach-area weekly-rental buys): condos, duplexes, mobile/manufactured homes, and small cottages near southern RI beaches within ~15 min of a Providence/Stoughton line station, in established weekly-rental areas. Section 3 (duplexes): two-unit homes with private entrances across the full combined MA + RI footprint, no price or acreage caps. All drive times are estimates. Each run is a fresh search — no day-over-day deltas.

Section 1 — Corridor Land & Homes (0.75–5.0 acres)

Corridor-wide hospital caveat: Norwood Hospital remains fully closed with no ER as of August 2026. The rebuild was abandoned in 2024 during the Steward bankruptcy; Massachusetts advanced eminent-domain legislation (H 5553, 2026-08-07 law) to force a conveyance and two operators are reportedly in talks, but the only on-site service is a limited urgent care. Nearest real ERs (Good Samaritan Brockton, BID–Milton, Sturdy Memorial Attleboro) run ~15–25+ min from most Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood addresses, so the ≤15-min hospital rule effectively fails those four towns.

Flagged non-dwelling: 175 Bonnet Point Rd #N16, Narragansett RI ($225,000, Bonnet Shores Beach Club) shows 32 sf — almost certainly a beach-club cabana share, not a standalone dwelling, with commercial weekly renting likely restricted by club bylaws. Not a clean buy candidate. Zillow

Excluded — no-rental cottage colonies (look perfect, are not rentable): Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI — active units this cycle incl. 854-L264 ($499,000), 854-L30 ($235,000), Unit 33 ($190,000) — community prohibits renting. Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — same category, excluded on principle. Newly discovered this run: Knowles Camp, Burnside Ave, Narragansett RI (e.g. 64 Burnside Ave Unit 61 at $199,900; 64-45A at $349,900; 64-46 at $279,000) — confirmed leased-land colony where rentals are not permitted.

Mobile/manufactured homes: zero listings confirmed sited within North Kingstown RI, Narragansett RI, South Kingstown RI, Jamestown RI, or Warwick RI as of this run (Zillow statewide RI mobile page clustered in Coventry RI; MHVillage "North Kingstown" results were mislabeled out-of-state matches). Warwick RI shore micro-neighborhoods (Oakland Beach, Conimicut, Buttonwoods, Warwick Neck): zero geographically confirmed Section 2 candidates this run — an open gap, not a confirmed empty market.

Confirmed zero duplex inventory this run: Jamestown RI (Homes.com multi-family search returned no properties; no Jamestown RI addresses in the statewide Zillow duplex feed). Sharon MA and Rehoboth MA each carry exactly one verifiable duplex — genuinely thin markets, cross-checked against structured multi-family filters. Excluded as 3+ units: 244 Washington St, Norwood MA (3-family); 651 Washington St, Canton MA (rooming house + storefront); 28 Court St, Mansfield MA (3-family); and six Attleboro MA 3+ unit properties.
