Living in Scituate, Rhode Island

What is Scituate, Rhode Island like? Scituate is a rural, wooded town in western Providence County, best known as the home of the Scituate Reservoir — the largest inland body of water in Rhode Island and the source of drinking water for much of the state. Because so much land is protected watershed, Scituate has stayed green and low-density: a town of historic villages, farms, and homes on larger lots.

Its villages — North Scituate, Hope, Clayville, and others — give it a small-town New England character, and the annual Scituate Art Festival draws crowds each fall. Below is a look at the villages, how property taxes work, and where the market stands now. For current prices and days on market, see the market snapshot near the top of this page.

The Villages of Scituate

North Scituate. The town's main village and civic center, home to the Scituate Art Festival each Columbus Day weekend.

Around the Scituate Reservoir. Protected watershed land, with homes on the roads bordering the reservoir.

Scituate Property Taxes

Rhode Island communities set their property-tax rates every year, and the amount that applies to a given home depends on its assessed value and how the town classifies the property. Because the rate is reset annually, confirm the current Scituate figure and your property's classification with the Scituate Tax Assessor before relying on it.
