Boston Property Report — 2026-08-20
Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation. Fresh search each run — no day-over-day deltas.
27 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (17 active, 9 pending, 1 status-unconfirmed; Rehoboth MA deepest at 10, Sharon MA strong at 3, Canton MA and Norwood MA thinnest at 1 each and Norwood's single entry is pending), only 3 genuine RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates this run — an unusually thin Section 2 — plus 1 flagged Bonnet Shores cabana that is not a dwelling, 2 named no-rental Carpenter-family cottage communities now both primary-source documented rather than presumptive, and 2 age-restricted land-lease park groups flagged, and 25 confirmed duplex/two-family entries (10 MA corridor with Attleboro MA deepest at 5; 15 RI with Warwick MA-adjacent shore deepest at 6 and Warren RI at 4) plus 20 larger multi-family or non-duplex entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Jamestown RI, Bonnet Shores RI, Saunderstown RI and Peace Dale RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel this run is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (2.0 ac, vacant residential); 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA did not surface in any accessible source this run and is not carried. 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA remains pending at $699,000, and its neighbour 2 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is newly active at $949,900. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed with no ER, no confirmed operator and no reopening date — two operators remain in talks with the Alabama-based REIT owner per Rep. Stephen Lynch, and the Legislature's August 2026 emergency public-health law is intended to speed a revitalization or eminent-domain path — 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 2024 STR permit-cap ordinance (WC-2024-0372) 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, LandSearch, LandWatch and Boston Pads were the accessible sources while Zillow, Redfin and Compass search grids were largely gated, leaving an estimated 20–60% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster (RI Section 2 worst at ~50–60%); all drive times are estimates and the RI rate benchmarks are directional.
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 (recorded, never a disqualifier). ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton line station; ≤15 min hospital; ≤30 min highly rated library; ≤30 min Planet Fitness. No manufactured-home filter. Towns: Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Norwood, Mansfield, Attleboro, Rehoboth MA. Rehoboth MA runs ~18–22 min to rail and fails the 10-minute rule — included anyway, flagged, because 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/two-families, mobile/manufactured homes (incl. parks and seasonal cottage communities), and small-square-footage houses/cottages. Not estates, not large luxury homes. Near beaches AND within ~15 min of the Providence/Stoughton line's southern end (Wickford Junction, North Kingstown RI), in areas where weekly vacation rentals are already established.
- Section 3 — dwelling-unit duplexes: two separate living units with private entrances. Owner-occupant strategy: primary residence plus immediate rental income from the second unit. Full Section 1 + Section 2 footprint. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count.
- All drive times below are estimates, not routed measurements.

Norwood Hospital — re-verified 2026-08-20
Still closed. Shut since the June 2020 flood; Steward Health Care's 2024 bankruptcy killed the prior rebuild plan, and the building remains an unfinished, vacant construction project owned by an Alabama-based REIT. As of August 2026 two hospital operators are reportedly in talks with the property owner (per U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch), and the Massachusetts Legislature passed emergency public-health legislation in August 2026 intended to speed a revitalization or eminent-domain path. There is no operating ER, no confirmed operator, and no reopening date. Consequence: no listing in the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA cluster currently satisfies the ≤15-minute active-ER rule — the nearest working options are Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton MA (~20+ min est.) and BID-Milton in Milton MA (~15–20 min est.).

Section 2 — Beach-Area Weekly-Rental Buy Candidates (RI)
The Providence/Stoughton line's southern terminus is Wickford Junction, North Kingstown RI — the only commuter-rail anchor for this whole search area (MBTA). This section came back unusually thin this run — only three genuine, address-confirmed candidates. That is a source-access shortfall (Redfin/Zillow/Compass grids gated), not a confirmed market emptiness.

| 175 Bonnet Point Rd Unit D-30, Narragansett RI (Bonnet Shores Beach Club) | $155,000 | Deeded bathhouse/cabana unit with 4 beach passes — not a standalone dwelling, no beds or baths | Excluded from rental inventory — cannot be rented as lodging | EZ Home Search |

| The Village at Worden's Pond / Countryview Estates | South Kingstown RI | $179,900–$499,000 across several units | 55+ age-restricted, leased land, inland (not beachfront), ~20+ min to Wickford Junction. STR rules unconfirmed but likely restrictive under a 55+ leased-land model. |
| Toll Gate Mobile Park | Warwick RI | Per-unit pricing not captured this run | 55+ age-restricted, leased land. Nearest station ~20–25 min, outside the target radius. Verify STR policy with park management before considering. |
Hard exclusions — cheap cottages that cannot be rented
Both Carpenter-family communities are now primary-source documented this run, not presumptive — a change from prior runs, where only Roy Carpenter's was confirmed.
- Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — the community's own site states verbatim: "To maintain our family atmosphere, no renting is allowed in our community." 377 cottages on leased land; the association bought the underlying land from the Carpenter family on 2025-10-29, but the no-rental rule is independent of that transfer. roycarpenters.com
- Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI — now documented. The association's own For Sale page states, for two currently listed cottages, "On leased land, cannot be rented" (Site 23, $170,000) and "This cottage sits on leased land and cannot be rented, making it the perfect private escape for your personal use" (Site 30, $235,000). Unit 96 at the same address ($125,000, 2018 seasonal trailer, 2 bd / 1 ba) is therefore excluded. carpentersbeachmeadowinc.com
Zero / unconfirmed inventory this run
- Jamestown RI — zero qualifying small/affordable inventory. August 2026 median list price reported around $995K–$1.2M and available multi-family stock skews to full two/three-family conversions rather than small cottages.
- Warwick RI shore (Oakland Beach, Conimicut, Buttonwoods, Warwick Neck) — no street-level small cottage confirmed by address in Section 2 this run; only the Toll Gate 55+ park matched the category. This is a gap, not a confirmed zero.

Only Narragansett RI produced a sourced directional figure this run. The other four areas need a dedicated VRBO/Airbnb pass — this benchmark table is partially complete.
STR Rules by Town
- Narragansett RI — 2024 permit-cap ordinance, re-checked 2026-08-20. Case is Narragansett 2100, Inc. et al. v. Town of Narragansett, Washington County Superior Court No. WC-2024-0372. Ordinance Chapter 1123 would cap STR permits on a declining schedule (1,100 in 2024 down to 900 by September 2026) and ban rentals under 7 consecutive nights. Judge Sarah Taft-Carter granted a TRO and preliminary injunction in fall 2024, finding plaintiffs likely to succeed because the advertising ban on sub-7-night stays likely conflicts with state law barring towns from prohibiting owners from listing on hosting platforms. The town has lost subsequent rounds and repeatedly delayed implementation. No 2026 merits ruling was found this run — the most recent accessible coverage runs through roughly January 2025. Treat the ordinance as still enjoined and unenforceable for planning purposes, but re-verify with the Town Clerk or the docket before closing on any Narragansett unit. Sources: WPRI · GoLocalProv · Ordinance text
- Statewide Rhode Island, effective 2026-01-01. Local hotel tax rose from 1% to 2%. A new 5% whole-home STR tax applies to any residential dwelling rented in its entirety, on top of the existing 7% state sales tax and 5% state hotel tax framework. Combined lodging tax on whole-home STRs reaches up to 14%, applied by occupancy date (not booking date). Build this into any weekly-rate pro forma. Sources: Sales Tax Institute · RI Division of Taxation · Avalara
- South Kingstown, North Kingstown, Warwick and Jamestown RI — general STR ordinance text was not independently pulled this run beyond the Carpenter's-beach and Narragansett findings above. Treat these towns' STR rules as unconfirmed and needing follow-up.

Zero confirmed duplex inventory this run: Jamestown RI (Homes.com explicitly returned "No properties matching your criteria" — a confirmed zero, not a search gap). Saunderstown RI, Bonnet Shores RI, Peace Dale RI, and the Buttonwoods and Warwick Neck micro-neighbourhoods returned nothing — but these are unincorporated villages with no distinct aggregator filter, so treat them as "not independently confirmed" rather than genuinely empty.

Coverage & Caveats
- Accessible sources this run: Homes.com, LandSearch, LandWatch and Boston Pads all rendered as fetchable HTML and supplied every confirmed listing above. Three Redfin detail pages were readable from already-known URLs and supplied the three Section 2 candidates.
- Blocked / gated: Zillow, Redfin and Compass search grids were JavaScript-gated throughout and were not bypassed. Redfin's Narragansett and Barrington multi-family filter URLs additionally errored outright. AirDNA town dashboards are paywalled beyond the teaser.
- Unconfirmed inventory, by cluster (estimates): Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA ~20–30% · Mansfield/Attleboro/Rehoboth MA ~20–30% · RI Section 2 ~50–60% (the weakest coverage of the run) · RI Section 3 roughly 12–15% of raw pulled inventory was ambiguous or miscategorised by the aggregator and had to be flagged or excluded.
- Section 2 is materially thinner than usual. Three confirmed candidates against 10–16 in recent runs. This reflects gated RI portals rather than a market that emptied overnight — do not read it as a real inventory collapse.
- 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA did not surface in any accessible source this run. It has been the cheapest active buildable parcel in many prior runs. Its absence here is a coverage gap, not confirmation that it sold — it is simply not carried today.
- Utilities are undisclosed on essentially every Section 1 parcel. Only 18 Railroad Ave, West Kingston RI (Section 3) explicitly confirms town water and sewer. Per criteria, unknown utilities never disqualify a listing — they are recorded as unconfirmed.
- Rental value estimates for the rented side are undisclosed across the entire duplex section. No listing description published a rent roll. The two figures shown for Canton MA, Norwood MA and Attleboro MA are marked as unsourced estimates and should not be treated as data.
- All drive times are estimates, derived from geography rather than a routing API (only WebSearch and web fetch were permitted).
- Rehoboth MA library note: the town's own Blanding Free Public Library has no established online rating; the ≤30-min library estimates use Attleboro Public Library at ~20 min.
- Stale-listing traps caught this run: 52 Round Farm Rd, Rehoboth MA carries a superseded 14-month-old $275,000 land-only listing alongside the current $1,100,000 improved listing — counted once. 18 North Ave, Attleboro MA is flagged as possibly stale on the strength of a prior NOT-LISTED-FOR-SALE detail read. 380 Central St was excluded from Mansfield MA as actually being in Foxboro MA.
- Change from prior runs: Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow, South Kingstown RI is now a documented rather than presumptive no-rental exclusion — the association's own For Sale page states the rule in writing for two separate listed cottages.
