Boston Property Report — 2026-08-25

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation research. Each run is a fresh search; no day-over-day deltas are tracked.

19 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres across six of the seven in-scope towns (13 active, 6 pending/contingent; Rehoboth MA deepest by a wide margin at 8 and all 8 active, Stoughton MA next at 4 but only 2 active, Sharon MA 3 with 2 active, Attleboro MA down to 2 and both off-market-bound, Mansfield MA a single active home, Norwood MA zero active with one pending entry, and Canton MA a cross-verified zero on both LandWatch and Land.com), 4 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates, and 21 duplex/two-family entries captured — 20 confirmed genuine two-unit duplexes (3 in the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA cluster, 7 in the Mansfield/Attleboro MA cluster, 10 in RI led by Warren RI at 6 and Barrington RI at 3) plus 1 status-unconfirmed Rehoboth MA entry carried as context, with Stoughton MA, Sharon MA and Rehoboth MA all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel is again 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (1.99 ac, perc-tested, pre-existing legal non-conforming), re-confirmed unchanged in both price and active status with the listing updated 2026-08-24; the cheapest corridor entry overall is Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 but it is pending and zoned commercial. 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is re-confirmed contingent at $699,000 following the 2026-08-09 cut from $739,000 and remains off the board. Rehoboth MA stays flagged corridor-wide at an estimated 18–22 minutes to Attleboro Station, failing the 10-minute rail rule but included per standing exception. Norwood Hospital is freshly re-confirmed CLOSED this run — shuttered since the June 2020 flood, still an empty shell, with two operators in talks per Rep. Stephen Lynch (WBUR, 2026-08-04) and an eminent-domain bill filed, but no operator and no reopening date — closing out the flag left open on 2026-08-24 and meaning the 15-minute hospital rule fails or is marginal across the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor. Section 2 is constrained not by inventory but by geography: Wickford Junction, North Kingstown RI is the Providence/Stoughton line's southern terminus, so only North Kingstown/Wickford/Saunderstown RI clears the ~15-minute rail radius and Narragansett, South Kingstown, Bonnet Shores, Jamestown and the Warwick RI shore are excluded on drive time rather than absence of listings. Both Carpenter-family no-rental cottage communities were verbatim-verified this run — Roy Carpenter's Beach at 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI ("no renting is allowed in our community", now owned by the cottage-owners' association after an October 2025 purchase) and Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow at 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI ("On leased land, cannot be rented") — the first run since 2026-08-21 in which both were freshly confirmed rather than carried forward. Narragansett RI's 2024 STR permit-cap ordinance remains under the October 2024 preliminary injunction with nothing newer than the February 2025 registration extension found, and Rhode Island's 5% whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 via the Division of Taxation's own December 2025 FAQ, alongside the local hotel tax doubling from 1% to 2%. LandSearch, LandWatch, Homes.com, Compass, Coldwell Banker and eXp Realty were the accessible sources; Zillow and Redfin were largely JS-gated and three Rehoboth-area brokerage sites returned empty pages, leaving an estimated 15–60% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster, with all drive times estimates and the RI rate benchmarks directional.

Mansfield MA vacant land 0.75–5.0 ac: zero qualifying inventory — a direct LandSearch query returned no in-town parcels in the band (nearest alternatives are a 27.7-acre Gilbert St parcel, pending, and out-of-town land). Attleboro MA vacant land: exactly one qualifying parcel found (23 York Dr, pending) across 63 listed "undeveloped" properties near the city, nearly all under 0.75 ac or outside town limits.

Section 2 — Beach-Area Weekly-Rental Buy Candidates

Binding constraint this run: the Providence/Stoughton line's southern terminus is Wickford Junction station, 1011 Ten Rod Rd, North Kingstown RI. Estimated drives from it: North Kingstown / Wickford / Saunderstown RI ~5–15 min; South Kingstown / Wakefield RI ~15–20 min (borderline); Narragansett RI and Bonnet Shores RI ~20–25 min; Jamestown RI ~25–30 min via the tolled Newport Bridge; the Warwick RI shore ~20–30 min to the north. Qualifying inventory is therefore effectively confined to North Kingstown / Wickford / Saunderstown RI. Narragansett RI, South Kingstown / Wakefield / Peace Dale RI, Bonnet Shores RI, Jamestown RI and the Warwick RI shore all carry real condo, duplex and cottage inventory but are excluded on drive time, not on absence of listings.

Per-side bed/bath splits, meter separation and rented-side rental values were not individually confirmed for most RI rows — the source pages publish combined totals only, and each would need a listing-detail fetch or an agent call before an offer. North Kingstown RI and coastal South County RI multi-family inventory is thin (Compass showed a single active North Kingstown RI multi-family this run); nearly all duplex volume sits in Warren RI and Barrington RI. Narragansett RI, South Kingstown RI, Jamestown RI and the Warwick RI shore were not separately queried for duplexes this run — a coverage gap, not a confirmed zero.
