Boston Property Report — 2026-08-22
Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation. Fresh search each run — no day-over-day deltas.
19 corridor land & home listings across six of the seven in-scope towns (13 active, 6 pending; Sharon MA deepest on actives at 4, Rehoboth MA deepest overall at 5, Norwood MA again zero active with a single pending entry, Attleboro MA down to one pending parcel, and North Attleboro MA a cross-verified zero), 7 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates with 2 named no-rental Carpenter-family cottage communities excluded and 2 additional 55+ leased-land parks flagged as unverified, and 23 confirmed duplex/two-family entries (8 MA corridor with Attleboro MA deepest at 3; 15 RI with the Warwick RI shore deepest at 5 and Warren RI at 3) plus 5 larger multi-family, condo-style or unconfirmed entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Rehoboth MA and Jamestown RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable residential parcel is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (1.99 ac, perc-tested); the cheapest corridor entry overall is Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 but it is pending and zoned commercial. 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA did not surface in any accessible source this run and is not carried — a coverage gap, not confirmation it sold. 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA has moved from contingent to fully pending/under contract at $699,000 as of 2026-08-15, taking the corridor's strongest all-round parcel off the board for now. Rehoboth MA remains flagged corridor-wide at an estimated 18–22 minutes to Attleboro Station, failing the 10-minute rail rule, and Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor (Good Samaritan Medical Center, Brockton used as the alternate reference). Narragansett RI's STR permit-cap ordinance (WC-2024-0372) remains under the October 2024 preliminary injunction with no source newer than January 2025 found this run — flagged as inferred rather than freshly confirmed — while Rhode Island's 5% whole-home STR tax is re-verified in effect since 2026-01-01 alongside the local hotel tax doubling from 1% to 2%. Homes.com, LandSearch, LandWatch, Land.com, Zillow detail and town-filtered pages, Trulia and Boston Pads were the accessible sources; Redfin, Compass and Durkin Cottage Realty were gated, leaving an estimated 20–60% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster, with all drive times estimates and the RI rate benchmarks 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 street preferred but not required; ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton line station; ≤15 min hospital, ≤30 min highly rated library, ≤30 min Planet Fitness. Towns: Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Norwood, Mansfield, Attleboro and Rehoboth MA. The manufactured-home requirement is dropped from this section. Rehoboth MA is included flagged despite failing the rail rule because it carries the deepest qualifying inventory.
- Section 2 — Beach-area weekly rental buys: properties to buy and offer as weekly rentals — condos, duplexes/two-families, mobile/manufactured homes and small cottages, near beaches and within ~15 min of a southern 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 and Section 2 footprint plus Barrington and Warren RI. No acreage or price cap, no minimum room count.
- All drive times are estimates. Every listing carries a real source URL.

North Attleboro MA: zero qualifying inventory — cross-verified between Zillow's town-filtered land search and LandSearch. This is a genuine market read, not a data-access failure. Note LandSearch's North Attleboro pages substantially over-report by aggregating neighbouring RI/MA towns; that noise was filtered out by hand.
Rehoboth MA (flagged: ~18–22 min to Attleboro Station — fails the 10-minute rail rule)

- 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA — carried on several prior runs at $225,000 (3.18 ac, approved 4-bedroom septic) — did not surface in any accessible source this run and is not carried. Treat as a coverage gap, not a sale.

Mobile / manufactured homes: Zero qualifying fee-simple entries this run. Every specific manufactured-cottage listing found inside the scope towns sits on leased land in a community that bans renting outright — e.g. the one confirmed for-sale unit at 854 Matunuck Beach Rd #96, South Kingstown RI ($125,000, 1bd/1ba, 288 sf) is inside Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow and is excluded per its lease terms.
Jamestown RI: Zero qualifying condo, duplex or cottage buy candidates for sale today — a valid null result, not a search failure.

Short-term-rental rules by town
- Narragansett RI — the 2024 ordinance (7-night minimum; permit cap starting at 1,100 and dropping to 900 by September 2026) remains under the preliminary injunction granted by Superior Court Judge Sarah Taft-Carter in October 2024, with the judge indicating landlord group "Narragansett 2100" has a strong case. As of January 2025 the town still ran STR registration ($120/unit) despite the injunction. No source newer than January 2025 was found this run despite repeated searching — the injunction's continued validity today is inferred, not freshly confirmed. Re-check the RI Superior Court docket (WC-2024-0372) or local press before relying on it. This is the single most important item to verify before advising a buyer.
- South Kingstown RI — registry ordinance adopted April 2024 (Ch. 9, §9-200–210); annual registration $100 ($300 late fee), fines up to $500. No cap, no ban.
- North Kingstown RI — Short-Term Rental Registration ordinance (Municode Art. XVIII, §9-420 et seq.); no cap or ban identified.
- Jamestown RI — permitting system since 2023/2024; state law bars outright bans so none exists. Prohibits STRs on properties with cesspools; biennial inspections required; ~170 registered rentals.
- Warwick RI — February 2023 ordinance: STR is a permitted use in residential and mixed-use zones, banned in commercial and industrial; $250/unit annual registration; guest records retained 180 days.
- Barrington RI / Warren RI — no STR-specific ordinance found in this pass; these towns were in scope for the duplex section only and were not verified further.
- Statewide RI 5% whole-home STR tax — re-verified in effect today. Effective 2026-01-01, RI imposes a 5% tax on whole-home short-term rentals (occupancy-date based, distinct from the existing 5% single-room hotel tax), and the local hotel tax doubled from 1% to 2% the same date.

Excluded — cheap cottages whose community rules prohibit renting
- Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — 377 cottages on leased land; community rules explicitly prohibit renting to preserve the family-only atmosphere (guests' pets also barred). Independent RI · roycarpenters.com
- Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow (Carpenter's Beach Meadow, Inc.), 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI — seasonal (first Friday in May – October 15) leased-land community; properties cannot be rented per lease terms; ~$3,800/yr lease fee including sewer and water. Active for-sale unit inside this community confirmed today: 854 Matunuck Beach Rd #96, $125,000, 1bd/1ba, 288 sf — excluded from the buy list. Southern RI Chamber · Trulia listing
- Village at Worden's Pond and Country View Estates, both South Kingstown RI — 55+ leased-land manufactured-home communities. Rental policy could not be confirmed from public sources today. Treat as high-risk/unverified rather than confirmed-prohibited; verify directly with park management before assuming rentability.

Coverage & Caveats
- Gated or blocked sources. Redfin search grids were JS-rendered corridor-wide (the Attleboro MA multi-family page returned a bare address list with no price or detail data). Compass could not be fetched for North Kingstown RI multi-family. Durkin Cottage Realty returned an empty page, so South County weekly rate figures were not obtained and should be pulled by phone (401-789-6659). Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, Movoto and Homes.com search widgets for the northern corridor were largely JS-rendered, though individual Homes.com and Zillow detail pages rendered fine and Zillow's town-filtered land and duplex pages worked for Mansfield/Attleboro/Rehoboth MA.
- Estimated unconfirmed inventory: 20–60% depending on cluster. Highest uncertainty in RI (Compass and Redfin both unavailable; Zillow truncated at 1–2 results per town query, so treat Zillow counts as a floor rather than a ceiling) and lowest in Mansfield/Attleboro/Rehoboth MA where Zillow and LandSearch were both fully readable.
- Accessible sources this run: LandSearch (primary for MLSPIN-sourced acreage and zoning detail), LandWatch, Land.com, Homes.com detail pages, Zillow detail and town-filtered pages, Trulia, Boston Pads / Signal Real Estate.
- LandSearch aggregation noise. LandSearch's Sharon MA town page returned only "nearby" listings actually located in Easton, Dover, Canton, Mansfield, Stoughton, Norfolk and Norton; LandWatch, Land.com and Homes.com were used instead for confirmed in-town Sharon MA data. LandSearch's North Attleboro MA pages similarly aggregate ~85–90 properties across neighbouring RI/MA towns with almost none inside town lines — filtered out by hand.
- Genuine zeroes, cross-verified: LandWatch and Land.com's Canton MA filters returned a real "0 Results", confirming thin Canton land inventory rather than a fetch failure. North Attleboro MA's zero on both land and duplexes-in-band is a real market read. Jamestown RI is a verified duplex and buy-candidate zero.
- Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER and no operator. All Norwood MA hospital estimates in this report reference Good Samaritan Medical Center, Brockton instead. The 15-minute hospital rule therefore continues to fail at the Canton / Stoughton / Sharon / Norwood MA end of the corridor.
- Norwood MA rail flag. Norwood Central/Depot sit on the Franklin/Foxboro line, not Providence/Stoughton; the nearest Providence/Stoughton station is Canton Junction at an estimated 10–12 min.
- All drive times are estimates derived from road-network geography, not live routing output — only WebSearch and web fetch were permitted. Treat them as rough planning figures.
- No address, price, URL or rental rate in this report was fabricated. Listings that could not be re-verified with a working source URL were dropped rather than carried unverified.
