Boston Property Report — 2026-09-03

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation. Fresh search, run independently — no day-over-day deltas.

18 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (16 active, 2 pending), 7 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 24 duplex entries (10 MA, 14 RI) — corridor inventory jumps from 14 to 18 and changes shape, with Sharon MA surging from 2 listings to 4 to become the second-deepest corridor market behind Rehoboth MA's 6, Attleboro MA recovering from 1 parcel to 2, and Norwood MA falling to a hard ZERO on active listings since its only in-band parcel went under contract; the headline is a Rhode Island reversal — Warren RI's short-term-rental cap, carried as “unconfirmed past first reading” for two runs, is found to have been ADOPTED at 125 units townwide with a 50%-of-units-per-building rule, a $100/unit fee and a parking mandate, which now constrains all four Warren RI duplexes in Section 3; 0 Read St, Attleboro MA fails to confirm for a second straight run and is now effectively ruled out, being absent from the listing agent's own active-listings page as well as from all 106 LandSearch and 8 Zillow Attleboro land records; a new near-miss appears in Lot 6 Pleasant St, Attleboro MA at 5.48 acres, just over the 5.0-acre cap, while its sibling Lot 7 Pleasant St, Attleboro MA at 0.86 acres qualifies; 26 Tremont St, Norwood MA is caught as a live fabrication for a third consecutive run alongside a newly caught 24 Short St, Norwood MA, with Homes.com's multi-family aggregator running roughly 75% stale on that category; Canton MA, Stoughton MA and Sharon MA are all duplex zeros; Narragansett RI's permit cap remains enjoined with no 2026 ruling and its duplex ban is confirmed never adopted; Warwick RI's R-6/R-10 bar stays contradicted by the city's own 2023 memo; Buttonwoods Campground, Warwick RI is unresolved for a seventh run; and Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI are confirmed zeros on both beach buys and duplexes.

Rail note: Wickford Junction (North Kingstown RI) is the actual southern terminus of the Providence/Stoughton line's South County extension, with Warwick / T.F. Green the next stop north. Wakefield RI and Narragansett RI listings generally sit 20–30+ min from either station by car; that is flagged in the table above rather than quietly claimed as within 15 minutes.

Weekly rental rate benchmarks

Occupancy and ADR are sourced trailing-twelve-month figures. The peak-week and shoulder-week columns are derived estimates, applying standard southern-RI seasonal multipliers (~2–2.3× ADR for peak, ~0.6–0.8× for shoulder) to the sourced ADR — they are not themselves sourced numbers and should be validated against a paid seasonal breakdown or a local property manager before underwriting a purchase.

AreaOccupancy (annual avg)ADR (annual avg)Est. peak weekEst. shoulder weekSource
Narragansett RI65%$538/night~$7,500–8,700~$2,300–3,000AirDNA
Wakefield / South Kingstown RI64%$396/night~$5,500–6,400~$1,700–2,200Rabbu / AirDNA
Jamestown RI62%$394/night~$5,500–6,300~$1,700–2,200AirDNA

Warwick RI61%$263/night~$3,700–4,200~$1,100–1,500Rabbu

Read against Section 2 pricing, the arbitrage is visible: Narragansett RI carries the highest ADR by a wide margin but produced zero qualifying small-format inventory this run, while Warwick RI — where five of the seven candidates sit — has the lowest ADR in the set. North Kingstown RI is the interesting middle: mid-tier ADR, the closest station access, and no STR ordinance at all.
