A suburb with a small-town feel close to various amenities
Sitting along the Southeastern coast of Massachusetts is North Swansea, a quiet neighborhood known for its secluded and slow-paced style of life. Residents here drive on long, winding roads that are surrounded by leafy trees and large fields — a call back to the town's farming roots during colonial America. "Something you'll immediately notice is how there's a lot more land, almost to the point where it feels rural," says Christy Querceto, a Realtor and Rhode Island native. "What's nice is that it's not in the middle of nowhere, though. You're a stone's throw away from the town beach, Warren and the East Bay, so it's like a hybrid of coastal and country life." Realtor Elizabeth Kirk echoes these thoughts: "You can go into Downtown Warren for shopping and dining; it's that close." She adds, "There are still a lot of things to check out in your backyard, though. Johnson's Roadside Farm Market is a local favorite—It's got the best pies you could ever ask for." And if residents can't find what they're looking for in Swansea or Warren, they can take one of the many highways running through the neighborhood to other cities.

From raised ranches to Cape Cods
Homes here sit on grassy plots of land decorated by various trees and shrubs. Most feature styles that have a classic New England look and feel. "There's really a blend of architecture here," says Querceto. "I would say raised ranches, Cape Cods and colonial-style homes are the most common." She also adds that inventory is low. "When something is on the market, it sells immediately." Prices start at $385,000 and go up to $850,000. While there aren't any sidewalks, residents still frequently walk or bike: Querceto says one of North Swansea's charms is that "It's not like a cookie-cutter community; there's more room for getting around."

Shopping and dining near North Swansea
Multiple shops exist within the neighborhood, such as the highly-rated Cornerstone Bakery & Restaurant. However, Querceto believes some of the best shopping and dining options are found in Downtown Warren, less than a four-mile drive away. "When I grew up in Rhode Island, there weren't many options; we'd have to go into Newport for something nice. But now everyone goes to Downtown Warren for its dining scene, especially those who live in Swansea; the two towns are so close." She recommends The Wharf, a restaurant offering upscale seafood overlooking the water. The Guild Brewing Company offers a more laid-back atmosphere and serves quick bites and beer. Residents pick up groceries from nearby convenience stores or head east to the Walmart Supercenter.
