Boston Property Report — 2026-09-07
Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation search. Fresh run — no day-over-day deltas.
21 corridor listings (7 north, 14 south) and 12 confirmed duplexes (5 MA, 7 RI), up from 8, with Norwood MA reversing to non-zero for the first time in five runs — 230 Richland Rd, Norwood MA at 1.24 acres and $679,900, though already under contract, and found only after Zillow’s land channel came up empty and the search switched source class to LandSearch; the northern-cluster duplex zero holds for a third straight run across all four towns and again on property type rather than scarcity; 73 Pinehurst Ave, Warwick RI is settled as SOLD 5/8/2026 for $399,000 — the “$399,000 active condex” carried into this run was a closed sale price, not a live ask — while 45 Cherry Ln Apt B, Wakefield RI reverses the other way and is a real, current $485,000 Chappell Homestead listing rather than the mismatched-address artifact it was called last run; Narragansett RI’s ADR re-measures at $503 and Jamestown RI’s at $499, the latter a 14% one-day jump over the $436 recorded yesterday that is flagged rather than accepted; the Narragansett RI “duplex STR ban” looks like a conflated premise — the town’s own Q&A implies duplex units are rentable with per-unit registration; and 1251 South Main St, Attleboro MA and 23 Colonial Way, Rehoboth MA are both real properties after all, not AI fabrications, but both are two-families and neither is on the market.
Criteria in force this run
- Section 1 — corridor land & homes: 0.75–5.0 acres inclusive; vacant, teardown-grade or existing single-family; public water/sewer preferred but not disqualifying; ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton line station; ≤15 min hospital, ≤30 min highly rated library, ≤30 min Planet Fitness. Towns: Canton MA, Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Norwood MA, Mansfield MA, Attleboro MA and Rehoboth MA. The manufactured-home requirement is dropped. Rehoboth MA runs ~18–22 min to rail and is included flagged.
- Section 2 — beach-area weekly-rental buys: condos, duplexes, mobile/manufactured homes and small cottages that Bill would buy and rent out by the week. Near beaches and within ~15 min of a Providence/Stoughton station. Rail rule (corrected 2026-09-06): measured from the Wickford Junction terminus at 1011 Ten Rod Rd, North Kingstown RI — Warwick RI shore passes easily, Narragansett RI (~16 min) and Jamestown RI (~16–17 min) are borderline passes, Wakefield / South Kingstown RI (~24 min) clearly fails.
- Section 3 — dwelling-unit duplexes: two separate living units with private entrances, across the combined Section 1 + Section 2 footprint. No acreage or price cap, no minimum room count. Triple-deckers, three-families, rooming houses and 4+ unit buildings are excluded by type.
- All drive times are estimates. Every address carries its two-letter state code.

Norwood MA has zero vacant-land inventory in the 0.75–5.0 acre band — Zillow’s Norwood land channel returned nothing in band (only a 0.22-acre lot at 51 Westview Dr, Norwood MA). Its single Section 1 entry is an existing home, already under contract, surfaced only after switching source class to LandSearch/LandWatch. That still breaks a four-run streak of hard zeros.

Mansfield MA holds only two vacant land parcels in total this run; several near-misses sat just under the floor (19 Smith Rd, Mansfield MA at 0.74 ac — with public water and sewer confirmed, frustratingly — and 132 Fruit St, Mansfield MA at 0.70 ac). Sturdy Memorial Hospital, 211 Park St, Attleboro MA, re-confirmed open and operating 24/7; an August 2025 groundbreaking there is a new-building expansion, not a closure. Attleboro MA remains the only town in the whole search that passes both the rail rule and the hospital rule.
Rehoboth MA (02769) — rail rule fails on every row
Nearest Providence/Stoughton stations (Attleboro MA and South Attleboro MA) are an estimated 18–22 min drive from every Rehoboth MA address below, against a 10-minute rule. Included anyway, flagged, because Rehoboth MA again carries the deepest qualifying inventory of the seven towns — 10 active listings, nearly half the report’s Section 1.

Zeros this run: Saunderstown RI has no qualifying active inventory (the one matching cottage, 47 Wake Robin Trl, Saunderstown RI, sold 2/25/26 for $430,000). Narragansett RI and Bonnet Shores RI produced exactly one condo townwide — 20 Narragansett Ave #210, Narragansett RI at $1.15M — excluded as luxury, so the highest-ADR market on the board still yields nothing buyable in Section 2 for a second run. Jamestown RI skews heavily luxury outside the two Southwest Ave condos. No active RI mobile/manufactured-home or 55+ community listing surfaced in North Kingstown RI.
Weekly rental / ADR benchmarks (AirDNA, trailing twelve months)

Secondary colour, not used as a benchmark: Jamestown RI summer 3BR weekly listings sample around $5,000/week on Vrbo; Evolve-listed 3BR homes in Wakefield / South Kingstown RI run $260–274/night. A KAYAK figure of $11,516/week for Wakefield RI is wildly inconsistent with AirDNA’s $367 ADR and was discarded as a luxury-skewed outlier. The core tension is unchanged and now sharper: Warwick RI is the only easy rail pass and has the worst ADR on the board at $260; Narragansett RI and Jamestown RI carry roughly double the ADR, are borderline rail passes, and between them offer two buyable listings, both in Jamestown RI.
STR rules by town
- Narragansett RI — the 2024 ordinance (7-night minimum, permit cap declining 1,100→900 by 2026, $375/$750 fees) remains under an active preliminary injunction from the October 2024 Superior Court order in Narragansett 2100 v. Town of Narragansett (WC-2024-0372) and is not being enforced. The most recent confirmable checkpoint is a law-firm alert updated 5/11/2026 showing no trial, settlement or appellate ruling; no harder September-2026 docket confirmation was reachable with web tools. The “duplex STR ban” this report has carried appears to be a conflated premise — the Town’s own STR Q&A implies duplex units are rentable, each requiring separate registration, and the “ban” language traces to an unrelated April 2024 proposal restricting new duplex construction in certain zones. Flagged as unresolved rather than corrected. Sources: Town Q&A, Partridge Snow & Hahn.
- Warwick RI — STR is a permitted use in all residential zones plus the Village mixed-use zone. Barred for ADUs, affordable/deed-restricted units, and properties with nuisance or code violations. $250/unit permit, Fire Marshal inspection, state DBR registration. No blanket ban and no numeric cap. Source: City of Warwick memo.
- North Kingstown RI — no dedicated STR ordinance or registry found; handled ad hoc through general zoning and building review. Source: Steven Miller Group.
- South Kingstown RI — registry adopted 4/8/24 (Ch. 9 §§9-200–210), $100 fee, registration deadline extended to 3/31/26, fines to $500. The town’s own page was JS-gated; terms corroborated from secondary sources.
- Jamestown RI — Council approves STRs individually and administratively and can impose caps at its discretion. As of Feb 2024 there were 64 locally approved against 170 state-registered, implying a large grey market. Source: Jamestown Press.
- Barrington RI — Ordinance Ch. 185 Art. XXXIII (2022): occupancy capped at 2 per bedroom, parking ratios, police registration, 24/7 contact required, and ADUs barred from STR use. No blanket ban or numeric cap. Source: eCode360.
- Warren RI — terms as confirmed 2026-09-06 from local reporting: a 125-unit townwide cap, a 50%-of-building-units cap, $100/unit annual fee with a $50 homestead discount, one off-street parking space per unit (Council-waivable), and Fire Marshal inspection authority. A status check found no 2026 news of amendment, repeal or challenge, so the ordinance appears current — but the EastBayRI page that closed this blackout last run returned blank on fetch this run, so this run’s confirmation is snippet-level only. Municode was not re-fetched, per the source-class rule.
- Statewide — RI 5% whole-home STR tax CONFIRMED. Effective 1/1/2026 per RI Division of Taxation Advisory ADV 2025-16; applies to whole-home rentals of 30 days or fewer and stacks on the existing 7% sales tax plus a local hotel tax that rose from 1% to 2% the same date. Sources: ADV 2025-16, What’s Up Newp.
Explicitly excluded — cheap cottages whose community rules prohibit renting
- Mary Carpenter’s Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI — a $125,000 unit surfaced again in the mobile-home sweep this run. Excluded: the community bars renting. It looks perfect and is not rentable.
- Roy Carpenter’s Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — excluded on the same grounds; not seen in this run’s inventory, named here so it is never promoted by a later run.
Section 3 — Dwelling-unit duplexes
Northern cluster — Canton MA, Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Norwood MA
A hard zero for a third consecutive run, across all four towns. And for a third run the cause is property type, not scarcity: Canton MA’s two multi-family listings are a triple-decker (3 Revere Ct, Canton MA — the listing calls it exactly that) and a 5+ family rooming house with a leased commercial storefront (651 Washington St, Canton MA); Stoughton MA’s single listing (1508 Central St, Stoughton MA) is 12bd/6ba across 6,567 sqft, arithmetic that points to four or more units; Norwood MA’s two (69 Prospect Ave, Norwood MA and 248 Washington St, Norwood MA) are both three-families; and Sharon MA’s duplex search returns no in-town results of any kind. Worth recording as a structural observation rather than a daily accident: Canton MA’s GR zoning and Norwood MA’s equivalent historically produced triple-deckers, so the surviving multi-family stock in this cluster is simply not shaped like duplexes. Three runs is enough to stop treating this as noise.

Held out of the table for want of a source URL: 127 Maple St, Attleboro MA is a genuine active two-family at $625,000 (4bd/2ba, 0.14 ac) under a clean relisting, MLS #73568566 — but the research pass did not capture a direct URL for that MLS number, and this report does not publish a listing it cannot link. Carried as a lead, not a listing. Rehoboth MA is otherwise a near-zero: an exhaustive sweep produced exactly one qualifying duplex, and Homes.com’s dedicated multi-family search returns no Rehoboth MA results at all.

| Address | Price | Status | Layout per side | Meters / utilities | Rent data | Zoning | Source |
|---|
| 17 Clara Ln, Narragansett RI (Bonnet Shores) | $950,000 | Active (5 DOM) | 4bd/2ba each side | Individual electric meters confirmed; gas forced air, tenant pays heat | 2025 gross income $75K+; one side rented at $3,400/mo through 5/2027 | R-10 | Zillow |
| 27 Barney St, Warren RI | $800,000 (from $895,000 → $849,500 → $849,000 → $800,000 on 5/13/26) | Active (114 DOM) | 3bd/1ba each side, identical | Not itemized; tenant pays heat (gas baseboard) | $4,800/mo total actual rent — still published, in Zillow’s structured financial field rather than the remarks | Not stated | Zillow |
| 18 Railroad Ave, South Kingstown RI | $619,000 (cut $10K) | Active (115 DOM) | 2bd/1ba+ per level, laundry in both units | Electric baseboard; tenant pays heat | $4,700/mo total market estimate — both sides currently vacant | R-20 | Zillow |
| 2185-A/B Post Rd, Wakefield RI | $949,900 (cut from $1.1M) | Active (109 DOM) | Atypical — main house 3+bd/2.5ba plus a separate ADU with workshop; two structures, not one building split in two | “All separate utilities, including septic” per remarks | $6,000/mo total actual rent | Not stated | Zillow |
| 42 Orchard Ave, Barrington RI | $1,100,000 | Active (34 DOM) | Asymmetric — Unit 1 is a 500 sqft legal ADU (1bd/1ba); Unit 2 is 4bd/3.5ba across 2,430 sqft | Not itemized; 200A whole-property service | No figure published; marketed as “offset your mortgage” | R10 — note Barrington RI bars ADUs from STR use, which limits the second unit to long-term tenancy | Compass |
| 6 Mac Alder St, Narragansett RI (Jerusalem) | $1,495,000 (cut from $1.59M) | Active (110 DOM) | 3bd/2ba each side | Circuit breakers; shared/common laundry, no individual-meter language | Never rented — owner-occupied 25 years, no rent history at all | R10 | Zillow |
| 16 Jennison Rd, Warwick RI (Conimicut) | $550,000 | Pending (19 DOM) | 2bd/1ba each side, own washer/dryer each | Tenant pays heat (gas baseboard); electric breakers | $1,900/mo actual (one side) | RES | Zillow |
RI zeros: Jamestown RI has no active duplex (all 22 active listings are single-family estates); North Kingstown RI / Wickford RI returns a literal “0 Homes” on the duplex category; Saunderstown RI has no duplex or multi-family; Warwick Neck RI produced only a three-family; and the Oakland Beach, Warwick RI comp at 71-73 Pinehurst Ave, Warwick RI delisted 2/19/26. 17 Clara Ln, Narragansett RI is the most interesting property in the report — a confirmed-separate-meter duplex with published gross income, in the highest-ADR market on the board, in a run where Narragansett RI otherwise offered nothing buyable at all.
Coverage & caveats
Corrections to prior runs
- 73 Pinehurst Ave, Warwick RI is SOLD, not active. It closed 5/8/2026 at $399,000 (2bd/1.5ba, 1,200 sqft, HOA $169/mo, built 2025, MLS #1406915/1405231). The “~$399,000 Oakland Beach condex” prior runs carried as a live opportunity and flagged for clean re-evaluation was the closed sale price all along. Sister units at 71, 79 and 81 Pinehurst Ave, Warwick RI also all sold between April and June 2026 at $405K–$411K. Nothing remains unsold on that street; the item is closed, not deferred. Source: Movoto.
- 45 Cherry Ln Apt B, Wakefield RI is real and current — reversing last run. Last run concluded it was a mismatched-address artifact because its 4bd/2,567 sqft record did not match Chappell Homestead’s uniform 2bd/1,008 sqft pattern. The live listing is 2bd/1.5ba, 1,036 sqft at $485,000, MLS #1418074 — consistent with the complex. The mismatch was in the stale record, not the property. It went to highest-and-best on 7/23/26 and should be re-verified before any action.
- 1251 South Main St, Attleboro MA and 23 Colonial Way, Rehoboth MA are genuine properties, not AI fabrications. Prior runs caught both in AI-summary text and treated them as suspect. Both have real detail pages on multiple independent sites. 1251 South Main St, Attleboro MA is a two-family on 10.66 ac built 2020, sold 5/1/2026 for $914,400 (MLS #73457479). 23 Colonial Way, Rehoboth MA is a two-family (main unit plus studio, 1.04 ac, built 1967) that was pulled 6/8/2026 at $699,900 after cuts from $799,900. The prior dismissal was right that neither is for sale and wrong that neither exists — the distinction matters, because “fabricated” and “stale” call for different handling.
- The Jamestown RI ADR moved from $436 to $499 in a single day on the same AirDNA page. A 14% overnight shift in a trailing-twelve-month figure is not plausible as a market move; one of the two readings is wrong, or AirDNA re-cut the market boundary. Flagged, not silently accepted. Narragansett RI similarly reads $503 here against ~$538 previously.
Escalations — items that need a phone call, not another search
- Buttonwoods Campers Association, Warwick RI — unresolved for an eleventh run and deliberately not searched again. A member-gated leasehold community that publishes no rental policy anywhere public. This run did, however, surface an actual listing inside it for the first time: 16 East Andrew Comstock Ave, Warwick RI at $149,900, on leased land with a May 15–Oct 15 seasonal occupancy limit and an undisclosed ground-lease fee. That listing is exactly the case the blackout blocks — the price is attractive and the rentability is unknowable from a browser. Call the association.
- Brookedge Village HOA, 301 Church St Apt 108, South Kingstown RI — confirmed active at $624,900, MLS #1418735, HOA $425/mo with a three-months buy-in into capital reserves at sale. One web attempt found no rental-policy language anywhere in the remarks. Whether this 55+ community permits weekly rentals at all is the single question blocking the listing. Call the HOA.
- 0 Read St, Attleboro MA — ruled out for a sixth consecutive run. Current Zillow, Redfin and Homes.com Attleboro MA land inventory were checked directly and the address appears on none of them; the only traces are mutually contradictory AI-summary snippets ($115,000/3.81 ac against $65,000/4.4 ac/pending), neither traceable to a real page. Recommended for removal from tracking — second consecutive run making that recommendation.
Data conflicts shipped flagged
- 10 Cobbler Ln, Sharon MA — $595,000 on its own detail page, $575,000 on the Sharon MA land search page, $550,000 on a nearby-results panel citing a “$25,000 (8/7)” cut. A $45,000 spread across three views of one listing, now at 324 days on market. The detail page is treated as most authoritative; the spread is unresolved. This is the second run in a row this property has shipped with a price conflict.
- 376 Mountain St, Sharon MA — $779,000 on the detail page against $749,000 and $719,900 on other Zillow list pages, and $625,000 in a search-engine summary. A ~$154,000 spread, plus an out-of-sequence “price cut $5.9K (12/4)” annotation. Do not act on any of these numbers without agent confirmation.
- 18 North Ave, Attleboro MA — $600,000 on Zillow (dated 9/4/2026) and Signal Real Estate against $625,000 still showing on Redfin and Boston Pads. Two of three sources favour $600,000 as current. Last run resolved this property’s earlier $625K/$600K conflict as sequential real list prices; the same ladder is still producing lag across mirrors.
- 19 Wood St A&B and C&D, Warwick RI — Zillow says 4bd/4ba, Redfin says 4bd/3ba, same units. Also 19 Wood St #A, Warwick RI carries an HOA of $172/mo on Zillow against ~$187/mo projected on Redfin’s community page.
- 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA ($229,900 vs $229,000, same MLS #73479150) and 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA ($219,900 current relist vs $225,000 cached) — both minor, both unreconciled.
- 275 Summer St, Rehoboth MA — LandSearch’s list page tags it Pending while its own detail page shows Active, back on market 7/22/26. Resolved in favour of the detail page, which is precisely the aggregator-staleness rule this report runs on. 52 Round Farm Rd Lot 1, Rehoboth MA shows the inverse (contingent on Zillow, plain “For Sale” on Homes.com) and was excluded from the active table.
- 127 Maple St, Attleboro MA — the original MLS #73565690 page shows “Off Market” on 8/27/26 and an “Active” event on 8/30/26 in the same history table. The practical resolution is a clean relist under MLS #73568566, but see the note above about the missing URL.
Stale and fabricated listings caught this run
- 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA — off market, listing removed 8/19/2026, while an aggregator search page still showed it active. This one matters beyond the daily sweep: it was one of the six finalists carried in the project tracker’s own row 450 from June, and the Canton MA entry in row 500’s amenity verification.
- Two AI-summary fabrications caught and discarded rather than published: a claimed $760,000 price for 350 Mill St, Mansfield MA (actual $499,900, confirmed on two independent detail pages), and a claimed 3.09 ac / $499,900 lot at 71-73 Fowler St, Mansfield MA (that acreage and price belong to 350 Mill St, Mansfield MA; 71-73 Fowler St, Mansfield MA is an unrelated 0.52-ac two-family at $795,000). A third summary described 38 Dean St, Rehoboth MA as 3bd/3,749 sqft against an actual 5bd/2,586 sqft.
- 9-11 Coral St, Mansfield MA — a stale aggregator hit; actually off-market since 1985.
- 27 Barney St, Warren RI — a cached search result still advertises $849,500 as “currently for sale”; the live record at $800,000 was used.
- 415/417 S Main St, Sharon MA — did not reproduce this run after three consecutive appearances. Neither did the Jamestown RI “duplex near Broadway” fabrication, now absent for a second run. Recorded as negative results.
Source access
- realtor.com was unreachable for a third consecutive run, again with an explicit “domains not accessible to our user agent” error, across all three research streams — it could not even be fetch-tested. Its inventory is unscreened for all seven corridor towns and all of Rhode Island. This remains the largest named gap in the report. Estimated unscreened share is low for Mansfield MA and Attleboro MA (roughly 0–2 listings, given how tightly Zillow, Redfin, Homes.com and the MLS-fed brokerage sites converged) but materially higher for Rehoboth MA, perhaps 5–15 parcels, since Rehoboth MA lacks an equivalent MLS aggregator; call it 10–20% for the northern cluster.
- Zillow and Redfin were not gated for the corridor towns this run, which is a large part of why Section 1 reached 21 listings. Read that as an access effect at least as much as a market one.
- JS-gated and abandoned after the documented two attempts, per the source-class rule: coldwellbankerhomes.com (three listings), eastbayri.com (the Warren RI ordinance article — now gated itself, one run after it closed that blackout), southkingstownri.gov’s rental registration page, and Redfin once on 38 Dean St, Rehoboth MA. Each was replaced with a different source class rather than retried.
- Several AI-generated “2026 STR guide” sites (BNBCalc, Jaken Finance Group) contradicted the official City of Warwick memo on zoning and were excluded as unreliable.
Soft spots in this run
- Trulia, Movoto, Land.com, LandWatch and Land and Farm appeared in search snippets for the southern corridor but were not individually fetched; anything unique to them is unscreened.
- North Kingstown RI’s two duplex/multi-family candidates were seen on a category page only and not held to the detail-page standard, so they are not tabled. Zillow’s category headers there also overstate in-town counts by including neighbouring towns.
- Six Warren RI multi-family listings (77 Water St, 126 Main St, 55 Warren Ave, 348 Market St, 36 Kinnicutt Ave, and 11-13/21 Davis St, all Warren RI) had bed/bath counts suggesting three or more units and were excluded pending verification rather than confirmed as non-duplexes. That is a real gap in the RI duplex count, in the one RI town whose ordinance terms are now known.
- The Narragansett RI injunction status rests on a May 2026 secondary source. Four months of possible docket movement are unobserved.
