Rhode Island Real Estate

Rhode Island living is best known for its 100 miles of beautiful beaches. The state offers a taste of island living at its best. Historic villages nestled along the scenic coast offer waterfront dining, shopping, adventure sport outfitters and more. The housing market ranges from traditional single-family homes and newer custom homes to condominium communities and apartments to suit every lifestyle. It is one of the nation's wealthiest repositories of historical attractions, including an abundance of Colonial and Victorian homes, palatial estates reminiscent of the gilded age and public buildings. The state's capital, Providence, has recently undergone a massive transformation, from upgrading dilapidated neighborhoods and opening a convention center, upscale shopping mall and riverfront park to populating its once-abandoned downtown with artists and art studios. Providence also offers some of the finest homes for family living, as well as options for students looking to live off campus. Among Rhode Island’s greatest advantages are its higher learning institutions. With nine private and three public colleges and universities, one can choose from an extraordinary range of educational opportunities. Economic growth is most prominent in the industries of tourism, manufacturing and health services. But it continues to provide a unique climate that supports business development of all sizes and trades.
