From commercial district to suburb
Sitting at the edge of 160 Old Warren Road is a small, brick building known as Luther Store, a convenience shop that has been a fixture in Swansea since 1815. During the 19th century, the Luther Corner area was the commercial center of Swansea, Massachusetts, serving as a rest stop for traders stopping by. Today, the area has been transformed into a residential neighborhood, but the convenience store still stands, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Aside from its historic charm, the neighborhood is also surrounded by open fields and leafy trees, creating various opportunities for residents to enjoy the great outdoors. Despite the more laid-back, small-town vibe, Luther Corner isn't removed from the conveniences of the city. "It's great having Route 6 and Interstate 195 in your backyard, because a lot of people from Swansea will take these to go into bigger areas like Fall River for entertainment, while choosing to live in the suburbs," says Ellie Wickes, a Realtor with Sotheby's International Realty in Westport.

Cape Cods and colonial-style homes
Houses with a distinct New England look and feel sit on green plots shaded by mature maple trees. Christy Querceto, a Realtor and Rhode Island native, says, "Most are Cape Cods and colonial-style homes, with the occasional ranch-style here and there." She adds, "Because there's more land here, the area doesn't feel like you're in a cookie-cutter neighborhood. You've got houses on the side of these long roads, and when you head over to old Warren road, that's where a lot of the historic properties are." Prices start at $360,000 and go up to $689,000.

Visit the beach, park or preserve
Swansea Town Beach is a small waterfront located at the edge of Ocean Grove, with a playground and public restrooms. "This is the main beach people go to because it's open to the public. Many people spend the day with their families," Querceto says. "I would recommend wearing flip-flops: It gets pebbly sometimes." Just under 2 miles away is Swansea Park, which includes an open field, playground and sports fields. The closest green space is the Touisset Marsh Wildlife Refuge, a 66-acre preserve open year-round. Wildlife is abundant here: Birds, red foxes, and harbor seals are frequently spotted.
