Boston Property Report — 2026-08-19

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation. Fresh search each run — no day-over-day deltas. All drive times are estimates.

Summary. 34 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (29 active, 5 pending; Rehoboth MA deepest at 16, Canton MA and Norwood MA thinnest at 1 each), 16 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates with 2 named no-rental cottage communities excluded and 3 age-restricted or land-lease parks flagged, and 28 confirmed duplex/two-family listings (9 MA corridor, 19 RI) plus 13 larger multi-family or non-duplex entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 (3.18 ac, approved 4-bedroom septic, re-confirmed unchanged), the cheapest corridor entry overall is Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 but it is pending and zoned commercial, and 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is still pending at $699,000 after an 2026-08-09 cut from $739,000. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed with no ER — Gov. Healey signed the eminent-domain bill circa 2026-08-09 authorizing DCAMM to seize the 11-acre site effective 2026-11-01, two operators remain in talks with Medical Properties Trust, and the Mass General Brigham deal appears stalled after MPT reportedly raised its ask from $250M to $375M — so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor, and Norwood MA is again flagged as a Franklin/Foxboro line town whose nearest Providence/Stoughton station is Canton Junction at an estimated 10–15 min. Narragansett RI's STR permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined with no 2026 merits ruling found, and Rhode Island's 5% whole-home STR tax is confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 for a combined lodging rate up to 14%. Homes.com, eXp Realty, Land.com, LandWatch, LandSearch and William Raveis were the accessible sources while Zillow and Redfin search grids were largely gated, leaving an estimated 15–40% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster; all drive times are estimates and the RI rate benchmarks are directional.

Criteria in force this run

Section 1 — corridor land & homes: 0.75–5.0 acres inclusive; vacant/buildable, teardown-grade, or existing single-family. Public water and sewer preferred but never a reason to drop a listing. ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton station; ≤15 min hospital; ≤30 min highly rated library; ≤30 min Planet Fitness. The manufactured-home requirement is dropped from this section (Bill, 2026-07-31). Towns: Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Norwood, Mansfield, Attleboro and Rehoboth MA. Rehoboth MA is included flagged — its station drives run ~18–22 min and fail the rail rule, but it carries the deepest qualifying inventory.
Section 2 — beach-area weekly-rental buys: properties Bill would buy and rent out by the week. Condos, duplexes, mobile/manufactured homes (incl. parks and seasonal cottage communities), and small-square-footage cottages. Not estates, not large luxury homes. Near beaches and within ~15 min of a Providence/Stoughton station, in areas where weekly rentals are already established.
Section 3 — dwelling-unit duplexes: two separate living units with private entrances, across the combined Section 1 + Section 2 footprint. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count. Owner-occupant strategy — primary residence with immediate rental income from the second unit.
Address format: every address carries its two-letter state code. This search straddles the MA/RI border.

Southern cluster — Mansfield MA / Attleboro MA / Rehoboth MA

Rehoboth MA flag: nearest Providence/Stoughton station for every Rehoboth row is Attleboro Station at an estimated 18–22 min, which fails the 10-minute rail rule. Included anyway per standing instruction — Rehoboth carries the deepest qualifying inventory in the corridor.

Section 2 — Beach-Area Weekly-Rental Buy Candidates (RI)

MBTA reality check: the only Providence/Stoughton stations serving this corridor are Wickford Junction (North Kingstown RI, the southern terminus) and T.F. Green Airport Station (Warwick RI). North Kingstown RI and the Warwick RI shore are the only sub-markets that reliably clear the ~15-minute rail radius. Narragansett RI, South Kingstown RI, Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI sit an estimated 20–40 min out and fail the rail test — they are listed below, clearly flagged, because they are the established weekly-rental markets.

Bonnet Shores RI: zero qualifying inventory this run — no condo, duplex, mobile-home or small-cottage listing specifically tagged Bonnet Shores. The only nearby small-format listing (B4-236 Sand Hill Cove Rd, Narragansett RI at $1,100,000) is in the adjacent Galilee/Sand Hill Cove area and prices above the "not luxury" screen. This is a valid zero, not a search gap.

Short-term rental rules by town

Narragansett RI — 2024 permit-cap ordinance STILL ENJOINED, no 2026 merits ruling found. The May 2024 ordinance (permit cap starting at 1,100 and dropping to 900 by September 2026, plus a 7-night minimum stay) was hit with a TRO and preliminary injunction by Superior Court Judge Sarah Taft-Carter on 2024-10-02 in Narragansett 2100, Inc. v. Town of Narragansett (No. WC-2024-0372), the court finding a reasonable likelihood of success on preemption grounds. As of this run, law-firm tracking (Partridge Snow & Hahn, last updated May 2026) and a South County brokerage still describe the case as pending with enforcement paused — no trial on the merits and no RI Supreme Court decision found. Treat the ordinance as unenforceable but not repealed, and re-check before underwriting.
South Kingstown RI — annual Short-Term Residential Rental registration (adopted April 2024), $100 fee, $300 late fee, fines to $500. Registration deadline extended to 2026-03-31.
North Kingstown RI — no townwide STR registry ordinance found. Regulated informally via zoning, building and assessor review; homestead tax status can be affected by short-term leasing. Council has discussed tracking STRs as businesses but no ordinance is confirmed as of this run.
Jamestown RI — local registration required since August 2023: $350/year, building and fire-marshal inspection (fire re-inspection every 2 years, building every 3), plus state DBR registration.
Warwick RI — registration via city portal. The 2024 ordinance update requires guest ID and vehicle info retained 180 days, noise/nuisance compliance, smoke and CO detectors, no outdoor fires, and grills 10 ft from structures. Violations can suspend or revoke a permit.
Barrington RI — STR ordinance (May 2022, Zoning Art. XXXIII): registration with Barrington Police, a 24/7-reachable local contact, occupancy capped at 2 persons per bedroom.
Warren RI — ordinance caps total STR units townwide, requires annual registration and 1 off-street parking space per unit, and bars any visible exterior change from residential use.
Statewide baseline — R.I. Gen. Laws §42-63.1-14 bars towns from prohibiting owners from advertising on hosting platforms if the unit is registered with RI DBR and taxes are remitted, but does not bar zoning or special-use-permit requirements (confirmed by the January 2025 Hughes v. Town of Exeter decision upholding Exeter's special-use-permit rule). ADUs cannot legally be offered as STRs statewide (R.I. Gen. Laws §45-24-73).
Statewide RI tax — confirmed in effect. The 5% whole-home STR tax took effect 2026-01-01 for entire homes/condos rented 30 days or less, and the local hotel tax doubled from 1% to 2% the same day. Combined lodging rate for whole-home STR guests: up to 14% (7% state sales tax + 5% state hotel tax + 2% local hotel tax, with the whole-home 5% applied per the RI Division of Taxation occupancy-date rule so no single stay is charged both 5% levies).

Named exclusions — communities that prohibit or foreclose renting

EXCLUDE — Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI. Community bylaws explicitly ban renting ("to maintain their family atmosphere, no renting is allowed"). Houses sit on leased land; the Roy Carpenter's Beach Association bought the underlying land from the family on 2025-10-29, but the no-rental rule remains part of community governance. Confirmed exclude. Source
EXCLUDE (presumptive) — Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow / Carpenter's Beach Meadow Inc., 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI. Seasonal leased-land cottage community (May–Oct 15 season), same Carpenter-family lineage and operating model as Roy Carpenter's Beach next door. A written no-rental rule could not be directly confirmed from public sources this run — recommend a direct call (401-783-4412) to confirm, but treat as presumptively non-rentable in the meantime. Community site
FLAG — Village at Worden's Pond, 434 Leisure Drive, South Kingstown RI. Confirmed 55+ age-restricted land-lease manufactured-home community (230 sites, established 1985). The age restriction alone typically forecloses weekly vacation-rental use even where not explicitly banned. Source
FLAG — 979 Toll Gate Rd and 979 Tollgate Rd, Warwick RI — both 55+ manufactured-home community units, and not beach-adjacent. Same age-restriction concern; listed in the table above but flagged out of the practical candidate set.
SCREENED OUT — 464 Gardiner Rd, Richmond RI (Hillsdale). Surfaced in a South Kingstown mobile-home search; confirmed 55+ cooperative land-ownership community and geographically out of scope. Noted here to show it was screened, not missed.

Section 3 — Dwelling-Unit Duplexes

Two separate living units with private entrances, across the combined Section 1 + Section 2 footprint. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count. Owner-occupant strategy: primary residence with immediate rental income from the second unit.

Sharon MA and Stoughton MA — zero confirmed duplex/two-family listings this run. Sharon's multi-family search returns "no properties matching your criteria"; Stoughton's only active multi-family is a 6-unit at $1,699,900, which is not a duplex.

Stale-data catch: a widely circulated search snippet described "415 & 417 S Main St, Sharon MA" as a current 2-family listing. The Redfin detail page confirms the property is off market, sold March 2019 for $475,000 — the "for sale" text was stale cached content. Excluded.

Larger multi-family carried as context (not duplexes): 3 Revere Ct, Canton MA ($899,900, 3-family); 651 Washington St, Canton MA ($1,395,000, rooming house + leased storefront); 1508 Central St, Stoughton MA ($1,699,900, 6-unit); 244 Washington St, Norwood MA ($1,140,000, 3-family); and in Attleboro MA — 326 Thacher St ($599,900, 3-family), 2 Hope St ($749,000, 3-family), 30 Hope St ($735,000, 3-family), 110 Knight Ave ($875,000, 3-unit), 145 Pleasant St ($749,000, 4-unit), 222-226 S St ($2,248,000, 8-unit across 3 buildings). Also screened: 18 North Ave, Attleboro MA appeared in a multi-family search index but its detail page reads "NOT LISTED FOR SALE" — a stale valuation page, excluded.

Jamestown RI — zero confirmed duplex/two-family listings this run (Homes.com returns "no properties matching your criteria"). A general web snippet referenced 3–4 multi-family properties but those appear to be stale aggregator cache and could not be confirmed with live URLs. Valid zero; re-check next cycle. Bonnet Shores RI — zero found; no listing specifically tagged Bonnet Shores.

RI entries appearing in the duplex search but NOT true duplexes (context only): 334 Middle Hwy Unit 336, Barrington RI ($699,000, coming soon) — a single home on 1.71 ac, not a 2-family; 126 Main St, Warren RI ($945,000) — 5 units across two buildings; 28 Park Ave, South Kingstown RI (Matunuck, $1,749,900) — a large Victorian with a 15+/- unit configuration on a sub-dividable double lot.

Section 3 count: 28 confirmed duplex/two-family listings — 9 in the MA corridor (Attleboro MA deepest at 4), 19 in RI (Warwick RI deepest at 6, Warren RI at 4) — plus 13 larger multi-family or non-duplex entries carried as context. Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI all at zero confirmed.

Norwood Hospital — status re-verified this run

Still closed. No ER. No reopening date. No operator named. Closed since the catastrophic flood of 2020-06-28; former operator Steward Health Care went bankrupt in 2024 and abandoned its rebuild.
Eminent domain is moving forward. Gov. Healey signed a bill (reported 2026-08-09) authorizing DCAMM to seize the 11-acre site from owner Medical Properties Trust, effective 2026-11-01. The Senate passed the measure 2026-07-29; the House enacted it 2026-07-31.
Rep. Stephen Lynch says two hospital operators remain in active talks with MPT, out of roughly six that floated proposals since 2024.
Mass General Brigham had explored buying the site, but MPT reportedly raised its ask from $250M to $375M and that deal appears stalled.
Run note on the signing date. Earlier runs in this series recorded the signing as 2026-08-04 and 2026-08-07; this run's best source (Boston.com, 2026-08-09) puts it at roughly 2026-08-09. The reporting is inconsistent across outlets — treat early August 2026 as the confirmed window rather than any single day.
Consequence for the corridor: the ≤15-minute hospital rule continues to fail at the Canton / Stoughton / Sharon / Norwood MA end, where the nearest open ER runs an estimated 15–25 min. It argues, as it has all month, for the Attleboro MA and Mansfield MA end near Sturdy Memorial.

Coverage & Caveats

Accessible sources this run: Homes.com (search grids and full property detail pages including MLS-level fields, unit counts, tax history and price history), Land.com, LandWatch, LandSearch, William Raveis, eXp Realty, and Boston Pads for MLS history. Redfin detail pages loaded when a direct URL was already known.
Gated or blocked: Zillow and Redfin search grids were largely JS-gated corridor-wide — usable for headline counts and the first one to three results but not paginable. LandWatch was reachable in the northern cluster only. jacobrealty.com returned a hard JS redirect wall and massneighborhoods.com returned empty content. AirDNA town pages could not be fetched directly (account/paywall), so every rate figure is a search-summary of those pages rather than the raw dashboard.
Estimated unconfirmed inventory by cluster: 15–20% for Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA · 10–15% for Attleboro/Mansfield MA and 15–20% for Rehoboth MA · 25–40% for the RI beach corridor, which was the most heavily gated. Concentrated in the newest listings and any agent-exclusive or pocket listings not yet syndicated.
All drive times are estimates based on town geography and known facility locations (Sturdy Memorial Hospital, 211 Park St, Attleboro MA; Attleboro Public Library, 74 N Main St; Blanding Public Library, 124 Bay State Rd, Rehoboth MA; Mansfield Public Library; Planet Fitness at 40 Cumberland Ave, North Attleborough MA and 175 Mansfield Ave, Norton MA). None were computed per parcel with a routing tool.
Utilities: most Rehoboth MA and rural Mansfield/Attleboro MA parcels are well-and-septic by default. Where a listing did not state water/sewer explicitly it is marked unknown rather than guessed — and no listing was dropped for unknown utilities.
RI rate benchmarks are directional, not audited. South Kingstown RI and Bonnet Shores RI have no town-level AirDNA data at all; those rows use nearby comps and individual listing prices as proxies.
Not independently verified: live-URL deploy verification of this page after publish was not performed.
