Boston Property Report — 2026-09-06

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation search · Sunday, September 6, 2026 · fresh run, no day-over-day deltas

14 corridor listings (the deepest Section 1 yet), 8 confirmed duplexes and 4 Warwick RI buy candidates; the four-run Warren RI STR-ordinance blackout is CLOSED via a non-Municode source and all three missing ADR benchmarks are filled (Wakefield RI $367, Jamestown RI $436, Warren RI $298), while the rail-geometry rule is corrected — Narragansett RI and Jamestown RI are borderline passes at ~16 min from the Wickford Junction terminus rather than 20–25 min beyond it, and Wakefield RI alone clearly fails at ~24 min; Canton MA reverses to non-zero on 9 Chief Ln, while Norwood MA is a Section 1 zero for a fourth run and the whole northern cluster is a duplex zero for a second.

Criteria in force this run

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 never a drop reason; ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton station; ≤15 min hospital; ≤30 min highly rated library; ≤30 min Planet Fitness. Towns: Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Norwood, Mansfield, Attleboro, Rehoboth MA. The manufactured-home requirement is dropped from this section.
Section 2 — beach-area weekly-rental buys: properties Bill would buy and then rent out weekly — condos, duplexes/two-families, mobile/manufactured homes, small cottages. Near beaches AND within ~15 min of the southern end of the Providence/Stoughton line. Not estates, not large luxury homes.
Section 3 — dwelling-unit duplexes: two separate living units with private entrances, across the combined Section 1 + Section 2 footprint. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count. Triple-deckers, 3+ unit buildings and rooming houses are not duplexes.
Verification standard: every listing below was promoted only after its own detail page was fetched. Search-engine AI summaries and aggregator search pages are treated as leads, never as evidence. All drive times are estimates.
Rehoboth MA station drive times run ~18–22 min and fail the 10-minute rail rule. It is carried anyway, flagged, because it holds the deepest qualifying inventory.

Norwood MA: ZERO qualifying inventory, fourth consecutive run. Screened Zillow (norwood-ma/land returns 0 results), Homes.com, LandWatch and Land.com. The town's entire current land inventory is two parcels: 230 Richland Rd (sold 10/19/2022, not listed) and 51 Westview Dr (0.215 ac, far under the floor).

Canton MA reverses to non-zero. Last run recorded Canton MA as a Section 1 zero; 9 Chief Ln (2.77 ac, active, 19 DOM) qualifies cleanly this run. Separately, 634 Washington St, Canton MA re-confirms at 0.73 ac — still missing the 0.75 floor by 0.02 ac, the narrowest miss in the report, and now visibly a $2.5M redevelopment parcel rather than a comparable residential lot.

Public sewer is available on none of the six northern listings — three are explicit private septic and three are unconfirmed. Recorded, not used as a drop reason.

Rehoboth MA again carries the depth — six of the eight southern listings, every one of them in the 1.47–3.18 ac range on private well and septic, and every one of them failing the 10-minute rail rule. That is the town's semi-rural character showing up directly in the data, and it is the standing trade-off in this section.

Attleboro MA has no detail-page-confirmed existing single-family home in the 0.75–5.0 ac band this run — only the vacant LOT 7 Pleasant St. Every acreage-qualifying "home" lead traced back to AI-summary text with no underlying listing page.

Section 2 — Beach-area weekly-rental buys (southern RI)

Buy candidates

19 Wood St is not one listing — it is three. There are at least three related Zillow entries on the same Oakland Beach lot/subdivision: the #A single unit at $440,000, the C&D building at $798,000 now under contract, and a second full A&B building at $880,000. Prior runs carried a single "$440,000/side" line; that should be read as the per-side ask across a small condex micro-development, and future runs should track MLS 1408681, 1409712 and the #A listing separately.

Correction to last run: Tollgate Village Warwick RI was recorded as a zero. It is not — unit #8 is actively listed, and unit #19 sold in October 2025 for $120,000, so the park does turn over. The broader finding still holds: MHVillage shows effectively no coastal RI manufactured-home inventory, so the manufactured-home leg of this section remains close to empty as a market condition rather than a search failure.

North Kingstown RI, Narragansett RI, Jamestown RI, Saunderstown RI and Wakefield RI produced no detail-page-verified buy candidate this run. Wickford Cove, North Kingstown RI (a 16-unit complex) shows zero active resales, and Wickford RI area Zillow shows only two condo listings townwide, neither verifiable as inside a named community. That absence is a search-page finding, not held to the same standard as the confirmed rows above — see Coverage & Caveats.

Weekly rental rate benchmarks

Area	ADR (nightly)	Active listings	Avg annual revenue	Occupancy	Source
Narragansett RI	~$538	—	—	—	Carried from a prior run; not independently re-pulled this run
Jamestown RI (gap closed)	$436	108	$60.2K	59%	AirDNA (Aug 25 2026 data)
Wakefield / South Kingstown RI (gap closed)	$367	409	$46.6K	58%	AirDNA (Sept 5 2026 data)
North Kingstown RI	~$343	—	—	—	Carried from a prior run; not independently re-pulled this run

Warwick RI	$263–264	—	—	—	AirDNA (search-confirmed, not detail-fetched)

All three named benchmark gaps are closed. Wakefield RI, Jamestown RI and Warren RI have carried confirmed candidates with no income figure attached for several runs; all three now have hard AirDNA numbers. Both new southern figures land above Warwick RI by 40–65%.

STR rules by town

Narragansett RI — ordinance still enjoined. Judge Taft-Carter's October 2024 preliminary injunction remains in effect and the litigation is unresolved; no 2026 ruling found. The permit cap (1,100 → 900 by 2026) and the 7-night minimum stay remain unenforced pending suit. The duplex-construction ban is re-confirmed withdrawn — the Town Council pulled the 14-amendment zoning package around May 15, 2025 after resident pushback. Confidence: high. Boston Globe · WPRI
Warren RI — FOUR-RUN BLACKOUT CLOSED. Municode remains a JavaScript shell and was not retried; the ordinance terms were confirmed instead through EastBayRI. Every term previously carried as "high-confidence unconfirmed" is now confirmed: a 125-unit townwide cap, a 50%-of-building-units cap, a $100/unit annual fee (with a $50 homestead discount for resident owners), one off-street parking space per unit (waivable by Council vote), and Fire Marshal inspection authority. Confidence: high. EastBayRI — cap and parking · EastBayRI — fee
Warwick RI — STR by-right, re-confirmed. Permitted in the four single-family zones (A-40, A-15, A-10, A-7) and the Village District under Ordinance O-23-4 §510. $250 annual permit, fire/building inspection, and a local contact within 50 miles required. Commercial and industrial zones excluded. Confidence: high. Ordinance text
North Kingstown RI — ordinance-free, re-confirmed. No dedicated STR registry or permit ordinance; the town manages short-term rentals through general zoning, building and assessor rules only. Confidence: medium-high — an absence of rule is inherently harder to prove than a presence. The Independent
South Kingstown RI — registry re-confirmed. $300 per unit annual rental registration during a Nov 30 – Dec 31 window, $300 fine for non-registration. The state-law bar on short-term/transient use of ADUs is re-confirmed and applies here. Confidence: high. Town of South Kingstown
Statewide RI — 5% whole-home STR tax re-confirmed, effective January 1, 2026, distinct from and not stacked with the existing 5% hotel tax. RI also doubled the local hotel tax from 1% to 2% on the same date. Confidence: high. RI Division of Taxation Notice 2025-09

Excluded — communities that prohibit renting

Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI — leased-land seasonal cottage colony (May–Oct 15). Rentals are not permitted under community rules. Source
Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — 377-cottage community; no renting allowed, to preserve the family atmosphere. Update: the Association bought the underlying land for $16.3M on October 29, 2025, converting cottage owners into landowners — the no-rental rule persists under the new ownership structure. Source

Both look ideal on price and location and neither is rentable. They are named here every run precisely because they keep looking like the answer.

Section 3 — Dwelling-unit duplexes

Northern cluster — Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Norwood MA

ZERO qualifying duplexes across all four towns — a second consecutive run.

The reason remains that this cluster's multi-family stock is simply not two-unit. The complete active universe: Canton MA has two listings, a 7-bed triple-decker (3 Revere Ct) and a fully occupied 7-bed rooming house with shared kitchen and common laundry (651 Washington St); Stoughton MA has one, a 6-unit building (1508 Central St); Norwood MA has two, both three-families (69 Prospect Ave, 248 Washington St); and Sharon MA's own multi-family search returns nothing at all. Searched Zillow duplex/triplex filters, Homes.com multi-family pages and per-town general search.

Rehoboth MA: ZERO duplex inventory. Zillow's dedicated Rehoboth MA duplex page returns no in-town results — only "10 more homes near Rehoboth MA", all of which are actually in Seekonk MA, Attleboro MA, Warren RI and Swansea MA.

Barrington RI, Jamestown RI, North Kingstown RI (Wickford) and Bonnet Shores RI: no active duplex-specific listings found. Barrington RI's search returned 28 active single-family homes and no duplex at all.

19 A&B Wood St, Warwick RI is the only property qualifying under two sections at once this run — it is both a Section 2 beach buy and a Section 3 duplex. That dual qualification has now held across runs and is the single most structurally interesting property in the report.

Unverified leads — not promoted

Everything here failed the detail-page standard. It is listed so the leads are not lost, and kept out of the tables above so the tables stay trustworthy.

84 Atherton St, Stoughton MA 02072 — described across snippets as a remodeled two-family, but with three mutually incompatible records for the same address: $325,000 (2bd/1.5ba, 1,230 sqft), $375,000 (2bd/2ba, 1,250 sqft, MLS 73552490), and $739,000 (4bd/2ba, 1,606 sqft). No working detail page surfaced across five distinct query attempts. Genuinely promising if it can be pinned down — worth a targeted look next run.
45 Cherry Ln Apt B, Wakefield RI 02879 (Chappell Homestead Condominiums) — last run's stale-cache flag is now explained. The nine-unit complex has effectively sold out (Unit A $490K sold 7/30/25; D, F, E all $475K mid-2025; C $475K on 4/21/26), and the "Apt B, active, 4bd/3ba, 2,567 sqft, MLS 1418074" figure does not match the building's uniform 2bd/2ba, 1,008 sqft pattern. Almost certainly a mismatched-address artifact. Shipped flagged, not promoted.
23 York Dr, Attleboro MA (claimed 1.97 ac / $374,900 with a foundation in place) and 27 Park Place, Attleboro MA (claimed 1 ac / $299,999) — both exist only inside search-engine AI summary text. Direct re-search found no matching listing at either address.
North Kingstown RI, Narragansett RI, Jamestown RI and Saunderstown RI small-condo and cottage candidates — general market pages exist but no individual detail page was fetched and verified within this run's budget. Treat these towns' apparent emptiness as provisional.

Rejection sweep

Twenty-six items examined and rejected. Repeat offenders are called out — this section exists because the same wrong listings keep coming back.

Address	Reason	Source

854 L-162 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI	Sold 6/22/2026, off market — and inside excluded Mary Carpenter's regardless.	off market
24 Southwest Ave, Jamestown RI	Listing removed 8/19/2026.	off market

Not re-checked this run (budget; they remain on the stale list): 36 Dundas Ave Warwick RI, 37 Child St Warren RI, 20 Narragansett Ave #905 Narragansett RI, 267 Fishing Cove Rd North Kingstown RI, 660 Point Judith Rd D2 Narragansett RI.

Escalations — phone calls, not searches

Warren RI STR ordinance — RESOLVED and closed. After four runs of Municode returning a JavaScript shell, the terms were confirmed through EastBayRI instead. This is no longer an open item. The lesson worth keeping: when a primary source is JS-gated across multiple runs, local news coverage of the ordinance's passage is the faster path than a fifth attempt at the same URL.
Buttonwoods Campers Association, Warwick RI — unresolved for a TENTH run, and it will stay that way. One cheap confirmation check was done: it remains a private member-only leasehold community (~120 cottages on ~25 acres on Greenwich Bay, leased from the Hohler/Maynard families, established 1899), it publishes no rental or subletting policy anywhere public, and all governance documents are member-login gated. It was not searched an eleventh time and should not be. This requires a phone call.
Brookedge Village HOA, South Kingstown RI — one cheap check confirms a 28-unit, 55+ age-restricted condo community with no public rental policy in any HOA, BBB or Manta listing. 301 Church St Apt 108 (and 107, 207) remain otherwise-live candidates blocked entirely on one unanswered question: whether a 55+ community permits weekly rentals at all. Phone call.

Coverage & caveats

The ~15-minute rail rule was WRONG and is corrected. Last run concluded that Wickford Junction is the line terminus and that Narragansett RI, Jamestown RI and Wakefield RI all sit 20–25 minutes beyond it, leaving the Warwick shore as the only passing geography. Actual measured drive times from Wickford Junction (1011 Ten Rod Rd, North Kingstown RI — confirmed still the terminus) are Narragansett RI ~16 min (11 mi), Jamestown RI ~16–17 min (11 mi), and Wakefield / South Kingstown RI ~24 min (11.7 mi). The correct statement of the rule is Warwick RI (easy pass) > Narragansett RI and Jamestown RI (borderline pass, ~16–17 min) > Wakefield RI (clear fail, ~24 min) — not the flat "only Warwick passes" framing carried previously.

The ADR-versus-access tension sharpens rather than resolving. With the three gaps closed, Jamestown RI ($436) and Wakefield RI ($367) both beat Warwick RI ($263–264) by 40–65% — yet Jamestown RI is only a borderline rail pass and Wakefield RI clearly fails. Warwick RI is the sole clear rail pass and the weakest income market. No town in this dataset wins on both axes. The correction above does soften the picture: Narragansett RI at ~$538 ADR is now a borderline pass rather than a definite fail, which makes it the most interesting square on the board.
Norwood Hospital re-confirmed CLOSED, and the situation has not moved. The rebuild was abandoned in 2024 during Steward Health Care's bankruptcy; the site is an unfinished construction project owned by an Alabama-based REIT; a legislative eminent-domain bill has been filed; as of August 2026 two operators remain in talks — but there is no reopening date. The consequence for this report is structural: on a strict reading, no northern-cluster listing except 492 Sumner St Stoughton MA has an open ER within 15 minutes. Sharon MA listings are the worst affected at ~18–25 min.
Sturdy Memorial, Attleboro MA re-confirmed OPEN and expanding — the 60,000 sq ft Cancer and Specialty Care Building opened September 17, 2025, with a Dana-Farber partnership expansion planned for 2026, and the ~$113M emergency department expansion broke ground August 8, 2025 and is underway. Attleboro MA therefore remains the only town in the entire corridor passing both the rail rule and the hospital rule. Sturdy Health
realtor.com unreachable for a SECOND consecutive run. This run produced a hard, explicit error — a domain-scoped search returned "domain not accessible to our user agent", and direct fetches failed because no realtor.com URL ever appeared in results to fetch. Its entire inventory is unscreened across all seven corridor towns and all of Rhode Island. This is the single largest named gap in the report.
Zillow and Redfin were NOT gated this run — both search pages and detail pages rendered as static HTML. That is better access than typical and is the main reason Section 1 depth roughly doubled (7 listings last run, 14 this run). It also means the improvement is partly an access effect, not purely a market one, and should not be read as inventory suddenly appearing.
Other gating: Municode (Warren RI — worked around, see Escalations); Corcoran.com and Advisors Living both returned empty client-rendered bodies, forcing a Redfin fallback to confirm two stale offenders; LandWatch was not fetched directly, though its AI-summarized inventory cross-checked consistently against Zillow and LandSearch; Homes.com, Land.com, LandSearch, Land & Farm, Trulia and Movoto were mostly seen in snippets rather than fetched. Buttonwoods' governance documents remain member-gated.
Two prior data conflicts RESOLVED, one new one opened. Resolved: 18 North Ave Attleboro MA — both the $625,000 and $600,000 figures were real, being sequential list prices three days apart on the same still-active listing ($700K 6/19 → $675K 8/13 → briefly "Pending" 8/27 → $625K 8/28 → $600K 9/4, current). And 127 Maple St Attleboro MA — the listing was removed 8/25 and relisted 8/26, which fully explains the off-market banner sitting three days before an "Active" history row; it is unambiguously Active at $625,000. New and unresolved: 10 Cobbler Ln Sharon MA shows $595,000 on the live detail page and $550,000 on Zillow's own search page and similar-homes carousel for the same MLS — both values are shipped flagged rather than one being picked silently, and 324 DOM suggests listing-sync lag.
The Jamestown RI "duplex near Broadway" fabrication did NOT reproduce this run after appearing twice. Standing reminder for future runs: Jamestown RI has no Broadway — that is Newport RI — and Jamestown's real multi-family inventory is a single listing. Treat any recurrence as a reproduced fabrication.
Aggregator staleness remains the dominant failure mode, exactly as the standing rule predicts. In the northern cluster, of roughly eleven multi-family leads surfaced by search summaries only three were genuinely active — and all three turned out to be the wrong property type. Two more were the same known-stale addresses that broker mirror sites have now been recirculating for years after they went off market. Every listing in every table above cleared a detail-page fetch.
Two soft spots in this run's coverage, named honestly. First, the RI small-condo and cottage "absence of inventory" in North Kingstown RI, Narragansett RI, Jamestown RI and Saunderstown RI is a search-page finding only — no detail pages were fetched for those towns' generic condo pages, so it is not held to the same standard as the confirmed rows. Second, five stale-list addresses were not independently re-checked. Neither affects anything shipped as confirmed.
No data defects shipped. Every address in every table and in the prose carries its two-letter state code. Every promoted listing has a real, fetched source URL. All drive times are estimates. No deviations from this report's rules.
