Boston Property Report — 2026-08-29

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation. Fresh search, run nightly. No day-over-day deltas — every run searches as if for the first time.

33 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (24 confirmed active, 5 pending, 3 with conflicting source data, 1 now confirmed off-market), Rehoboth MA again deepest by far at 13 and Sharon MA second at 6, against Norwood MA with zero active and Mansfield MA still effectively one parcel; 10 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 45 duplex entries (23 MA, 22 RI); the cheapest active buildable parcel this run is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $219,900 for 3.18 perc'd acres with an approved 4-bedroom septic design, undercutting 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA which holds at $229,000 and remains active; 0 Read St, Attleboro MA is upgraded from "likely not active" to confirmed off-market, absent from all four live inventory sources checked; 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA resurfaced on LandVest at $1,499,999 / 1.16 ac, a third mutually incompatible figure against last run's $329,000 / 1.0 ac and the 2026-03-17 $835,000 sale record; Warwick RI's 2026 zoning update now bars new non-owner-occupied short-term rentals in the R-6 and R-10 zones covering much of Oakland Beach and Gaspee, a material new constraint on the strongest Section 2 pocket; a fourth leased-land cottage community — Buttonwoods Campground, Warwick RI — is newly flagged with its rental rules unresolved rather than prohibited, the opposite risk from the three verified Carpenter/Knowles no-rental exclusions; the Narragansett RI permit cap remains enjoined with no final ruling found, and RI's 5% whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed in effect.

Criteria

Section 1 — Corridor land & homes: 0.75 to 5.0 acres inclusive. Vacant/buildable land, teardown-grade structures, or existing single-family homes. Public water and sewer at street preferred but never disqualifying. ≤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. Rehoboth MA runs ~15–22 min to rail and fails the 10-minute rule — included anyway, flagged, because it carries the deepest qualifying inventory. The manufactured-home requirement is dropped from this section (Bill, 2026-07-31).
Section 2 — Beach-area weekly rental buys: properties to buy and then rent out by the week. Condos, duplexes, mobile/manufactured homes including parks and seasonal cottage communities, and small-square-footage houses/cottages. Near beaches and within ~15 min of a southern Providence/Stoughton line station, in areas where weekly vacation rentals are already established.
Section 3 — Dwelling-unit duplexes: two separate living units with private entrances, owner-occupant strategy. Full footprint of Sections 1 and 2 combined. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count.
All drive times are estimates, not routed measurements. Every listing carries a real source URL.

Norwood MA has zero active listings in the 0.75–5.0 acre band. This is a genuine null result, not a search gap. Everything else found is out of range: 0 Deerfield Rd (6.21 ac, pending), 0 Quail Run (0.58 ac, pending, $150K), 51 Westview Dr (0.22 ac — notable as a true teardown with a disclosed underground heating-oil release, but far under the acreage floor), 0 Charlotte Rd (10.86 ac, split Norwood/Walpole).

Rehoboth MA 02769 — 13 listings, all failing the 10-minute rail rule

Every Rehoboth MA parcel below is an estimated 15–22 minutes from Attleboro Station, the nearest Providence/Stoughton line stop — outside the 10-minute target. Included per standing instruction because Rehoboth carries by far the deepest qualifying inventory. Hospital is Sturdy Memorial, Attleboro MA, ~12–18 min estimated; library and Planet Fitness both ~15–20 min estimated in Attleboro / N. Attleboro MA. All parcels are well/septic country — no public water or sewer.

Section 2 — Beach-Area Weekly Rental Buys (RI)

Properties to buy and then let by the week — not places for Bill to rent. Rentable inventory that is genuinely small, cheap and beach-adjacent is thin this run: much of the cheap South County cottage stock sits in leased-land communities that ban renting outright (see the exclusions below). The Warwick RI shore is the strongest pocket by price, but is now constrained by that city's 2026 zoning change.

Coverage gaps in Section 2

North Kingstown / Wickford RI and Saunderstown RI produced no address-level qualifying inventory this run. Kingstown Mobile Home Park (6705 Post Rd, North Kingstown RI 02852) exists as an all-ages land-lease community with 125 sites at $475–$725/mo lot rent, but no individual home there could be pinned to a confirmed address and price. Saunderstown RI is nearly all larger single-family stock at a ~$1.19M median. Recorded as a real gap, not padded.
Bonnet Shores RI is unconfirmed. A Zillow snippet indicates ~31 active listings including a 2-bed log cottage a 0.4-mile walk from the beach, and an eXp aggregator reports 9 active condos, but Zillow was JS-gated all run and no address or price could be verified. Needs a direct MLS or agent pull.

Short-term rental rules by town

Narragansett RI — permit cap STILL ENJOINED, no final ruling found. The 2024 ordinance (caps of 1,100 in 2024 → 1,000 in 2025 → 900 by September 2026, a 7-night minimum stay, and event bans) remains blocked by the preliminary injunction Superior Court Judge Sarah Taft-Carter granted in October 2024 in Narragansett 2100 v. Town of Narragansett. The most recent documented town statement, a 31 January 2025 press release, put the resolution date at "unknown" and confirmed the town continues to register rentals only under the pre-existing ordinance (§§14-518–14-520). No 2026 trial date, settlement or appellate decision could be found this run — treat any claim that the cap is now in force as false until a dated 2026 source says otherwise. Sources: Patch, Boston Globe.
Rhode Island statewide — 5% whole-home STR tax RE-CONFIRMED in effect since 1 January 2026, on top of the existing 7% sales tax and the local hotel tax doubling from 1% to 2%. The tax keys off the date of occupancy, not the booking date. Sources: RI Division of Taxation ADV 2025-16, RI Realtors.
Warwick RI — NEW material restriction. The 2026 zoning update bars new non-owner-occupied short-term rentals in the R-6 and R-10 residential zones, which cover much of Oakland Beach and Gaspee. STRs also remain banned in commercial and industrial zones. Registration is required with both the state DBR ($25/yr) and the city, with annual building and fire inspections and a local contact able to respond within 30 minutes. This directly constrains the cheapest Section 2 candidates above — confirm the parcel's zone before any Warwick RI purchase intended for absentee weekly rental. Sources: City of Warwick, 2026 guide.
South Kingstown RI — residential rental registration ordinance adopted 14 October 2025 (short-term defined as 30 days or fewer). Registration required before any occupancy; $100 fee, $300 late fee, fines up to $500. The filing deadline was extended to 31 March 2026. Source: Town of South Kingstown.
Jamestown RI — active registration ordinance: register with the state DBR first, then a local OpenGov account; $350 per year; fire marshal inspection every two years and building inspection every three. The registration window opens each fall for the following year. Source: Jamestown Press.
North Kingstown RI — no dedicated townwide STR ordinance or registry found; the town manages through existing zoning, building and assessor rules. State DBR registration still applies. The council was weighing options as of 2023 with no resolution confirmed this run. Sources: The Independent, RI DBR.

No-rental exclusions — cheap cottages that cannot be rented

These look ideal on price and location and are unusable for weekly-rental income. All three previously known communities were re-verified this run against primary sources; a fourth is newly flagged with the opposite problem.

Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — 377 cottages, no renting permitted, no owner-guest pets. The Roy Carpenter's Beach Association bought the underlying land for $16.3M on 29 October 2025, converting the community from leased land to association ownership; the no-rental rule persists after the purchase. Sources: WPRI, community site.
Mary Carpenter's Beach / Carpenter's Beach Meadow Inc., 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI 02879 — the community's own for-sale page states verbatim that a cottage "sits on leased land and cannot be rented, making it the perfect private escape for your personal use." Currently listed units, all no-rental and seasonal May 1 – Oct 15: Site 96 (2018 trailer) $125,000; Site 30 $235,000; Site 82 $239,000. Source: Carpenter's Beach Meadow Inc.
Knowles Camp, 64 Burnside Ave, Narragansett RI — 106–110 privately owned seasonal cottages on leased land; listing agent notes state "NO RENTALS ARE PERMITTED". Land lease plus sewer fee runs about $8,342 per year combined; season May 1 – Oct 15; governed by the Scarborough Village Tenant Association. Sources: Dowd Team, Knowles Camp.
Buttonwoods Campground / Buttonwoods Campers Association, Warwick RI 02886 — NEWLY FLAGGED, STATUS UNRESOLVED. Leased-land seasonal cottages, May 15 – Oct 15, e.g. 16 E Andrew Comstock Ave at $149,900. Unlike the three above, no bylaw text prohibiting rentals was found, and Airbnb-style listings do exist under "Buttonwoods Beach, Warwick RI" at roughly $120/night. This is the inverse risk: it resembles a no-rental trap but may in fact be rentable. Call the Buttonwoods Campers Association directly before either buying or excluding it. Source: Buttonwoods BCA.
No further confirmed no-rental communities surfaced this run. Snug Harbor and Green Hill Beach Association came up in general searches without rental-rule detail and warrant a dedicated follow-up sweep.

Section 3 — Dwelling-Unit Duplexes

45 entries this run: 23 Massachusetts, 22 Rhode Island. Attleboro MA is overwhelmingly the deepest market at 12 true two-families. Sharon MA, Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI each return a confirmed zero. Entries that are three-family or larger are kept because the standing criteria impose no cap, but are flagged as not true duplexes.

Sharon MA — zero confirmed active duplex or two-family inventory. Both Homes.com and Zillow return zero active multi-family listings. One frequently cited address, 415 S Main St, Sharon MA 02067, is described as for sale at $849,000 under MLS 73340685 by several brokerage syndication sites, but every one of those pages is JS-gated and returned no server content, while Redfin's page for the same address shows it off market, sold in 2019 under an older MLS number. Treat 415 S Main St, Sharon MA as unconfirmed pending direct MLS or agent verification — it is not counted as a listing here.
Stoughton MA — two further candidates surfaced only in aggregator snippets and are not counted above because their active status could not be confirmed: 15-17 Morton Sq, Stoughton MA ($699,999, 4bd/2ba) and 5-9 Morton Square, Stoughton MA ($315,000, 2bd/1ba). 62 Kinsley St, Stoughton MA — a true 1920 duplex, 1,676 sq ft — was confirmed sold 15 December 2025 and is excluded.
Attleboro MA three-family and larger, recorded for completeness rather than counted as duplexes: 326 Thacher St (3-unit, $599,900–$679,000, teardown-adjacent, mixed heating systems, price discrepancy across sources); 2 Hope St (3-family, $749,000–$775,000, turnkey, third floor vacant); 30 Hope St (3-family, $735,000, first time on market in decades); 110 Knight Ave (3-unit, $875,000, 15bd/3.5ba, under active renovation); 222-226 S Main St (8-unit across three buildings, $2,148,000–$2,248,000).
Canton MA zoning note: multi-family stock is scarce townwide — only three active multi-family listings — because Canton MA zoning strongly favors single-family. What exists is concentrated downtown around Revere Ct and Howard St. Norwood MA, by contrast, publicly describes "favorable zoning bylaws promoting multi-family housing developments" and carries the most straightforward two-family stock of the four northern corridor towns.

Jamestown RI — confirmed zero. Homes.com returns "No properties matching your criteria were found" for Jamestown RI multi-family, verified by direct fetch. The only inventory found is high-end condo stock at $1.195M–$1.695M (Bay View Condominiums), which is not duplex product.
Bonnet Shores RI — confirmed zero. No multi-family inventory surfaced in any search; the area is a deed-restricted, single-family-dominant enclave.
Narragansett RI and Saunderstown RI produced no duplex listings of their own this run beyond 6 MacAlder St, which came through the South Kingstown MLS aggregation. A dedicated Narragansett-only multi-family query is worth running next cycle — this run's queries were dominated by the South Kingstown pull.
Barrington RI excluded as non-multi-family: 42 Orchard Ave ($1,100,000) and 334 Middle Hwy Unit 336 ($699,000) are both single-family and were dropped.
Metering is the systematic blind spot in the RI set. Almost none of these listings state separate-versus-shared utility metering, which materially affects the owner-occupant rental math. Treat it as a mandatory agent question on any candidate.

Coverage & Caveats

Source gating was inconsistent across agents this run, which is itself worth recording. On the northern corridor sweep (Canton / Stoughton / Sharon / Norwood MA), Zillow and Redfin were fully JS-gated and every Zillow figure there came second-hand from search snippets; LandWatch's Canton MA city page returned a false "0 Listings" while Homes.com showed three real parcels — treat that zero as a false negative. On the southern sweep (Mansfield / Attleboro / Rehoboth MA), Zillow and Redfin returned full server-rendered HTML and were used directly, which is atypical and gave unusually deep visibility. On the RI sweep, Zillow and Redfin were gated again throughout.
Because gating differed by agent, coverage depth is not uniform across towns. Rehoboth MA and Attleboro MA are the best-covered towns in this report; Bonnet Shores RI, North Kingstown RI and Saunderstown RI are the thinnest. Rehoboth MA's depth advantage is partly real and partly an artifact of better source access.
106 Indian Ln, Canton MA now has three mutually incompatible data points across three runs: $329,000 / 1.0 acre (LandSearch, prior run), $835,000 sale recorded 2026-03-17, and $1,499,999 / 1.16 acre (LandVest, this run, page itself JS-rendered and confirmable only through a search snippet). No two of these can both be right. This parcel needs direct confirmation with the listing broker before it is treated as real inventory in any direction.
Norwood Hospital remains closed. Shut since the June 2020 flood, still closed as of August 2026, with a June 2026 task force report pushing for state acquisition and two operators reportedly in talks with the site's owner — but no reopening date. All Norwood MA and Canton MA hospital estimates in this report route to Beth Israel Deaconess Milton or Needham instead.
Non-MLS channels — Craigslist, for-sale-by-owner, Facebook Marketplace, auction sites — were not swept this run; the standing criteria scope this report to MLS-aggregator sources.
Rental rate benchmarks are directional averages from AirDNA marketing pages and VRBO/Airbnb search summaries, not licensed exports. Planning-grade only.
All drive times are estimates from general road geography, not turn-by-turn routing.
Price discrepancies between Homes.com and Zillow appear on 18 North Ave and 38 Dean St and on several Attleboro MA three-family listings — most likely sync lag after recent price changes. Confirm any asking price with the listing agent before acting.
