A historic neighborhood close to beaches and major cities

Traveling on Main Road through Tiverton brings a visitor to Four Corners, a quaint, historical neighborhood located at the intersection of Rhode Island Routes 77 and 179. The town is full of 18th-century architecture, antique shops and small restaurants, reminiscent of an early New England village. "Four Corners feels like quintessential Tiverton," says Ben Willett, an Aquidneck Island native and Team Leader at Keller Williams Coastal. "It's truly a remarkable place to discover antiques and crafts." In the past, Four Corners was a small farming village. Up until the 1980s, residents recalled the town having a more rural atmosphere. However, after it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, people and businesses poured in, injecting this historic district with contemporary art and food. There is also a small but strong community of artists and craftsmen centered around the Tiverton Four Corners (T4C) Merchants Association. In their free time, locals stop by Groundswell Cafe + Bakery for coffee or visit the art gallery to view a rotating selection of artists. Residents are close to the beaches of Little Compton, where people go for romantic dates or family outings. Four Corners is also within a one-hour drive of several major cities, such as Boston, Providence and Newport.

Enjoying art at the Four Corners Art Gallery

Four Corners offers a historic district tour, beginning at the Amicable Congregational Church, which is still running today, and ending with the Captain Philip Cory House. Complementing the area's historic charm is a thriving arts and crafts scene. Four Corners Art Gallery features new regional artists every month, including sculptors, oil painters and photographers.

Shopping & dining in Four Corners

Most shopping and dining options are located on Main Road, which gives Four Corners its reputation as a gathering space. "Even though it may seem rural at first, this is a great spot to meet up with friends and catch up," says Willett. He adds, "I really like this ice cream place called Gray's, and there's a bunch of shops to check out operated by the community." Four Corners Grille is another dining option, serving classic dishes such as crabcakes and clam chowder. For fancy groceries, The Cheese Wheel Village Market offers a selection of craft meats, cheeses and pre-made gourmet meals. "This is where you go if you're putting together a charcuterie board," one local says.

Classic New England architecture

Homes in the area feature classic New England architectural features, including the asymmetry of a saltbox house, colonial-era designs and stone walls, both interior and exterior. Willett: "The homes in South Tiverton are older and located in a more rural setting with lots of land, but you still have access to downtown amenities. It's ideal for people who enjoy that small-town feeling but aren't in the middle of nowhere." Pricing ranges from $380,000 to over $1 million. Residential areas are surrounded by dense greenery and winding roads. While there aren't any sidewalks, the streets are wide enough for parking, and people still bike or walk on the side of the road. It is not uncommon for boats to be parked in the driveway next to the family car.

Taking a walk at Weetamoo Woods & Pardon Gray Preserve

Residents are right by the Weetamoo Woods & Pardon Gray Preserve, a 750-acre park with different habitats to explore. Visitors of the park spend their time walking, biking, or even horseback riding on the five different trails. Locals say this is one of the best places to bring your dogs or family. While the trails can get muddy after a rainy day, the roads are diligently marked, ensuring that hikers won't veer off the path. Driving east takes residents to Fogland, a beach right across from Portsmouth. Visitors frequently come here to enjoy a picnic or sit by the shore. "There's so many green spaces and beaches nearby," Willett says. "It'll take you a while to visit all of them."

Traveling with Highway 24

The neighborhood is close to Rhode Island Route 77, a road running through Tiverton. That connects to state Route 24, which leads to major cities such as Boston, Newport and Providence. Rhode Island TF International Airport is about a 36-mile drive away.
