Living in Exeter, Rhode Island

What is Exeter, Rhode Island like? Exeter is a large, rural town in central Washington County, one of Rhode Island's most wooded and agricultural communities. There's no traditional downtown — Exeter is farmland, forest, and homes on acreage, with much of the Arcadia Management Area, the state's largest, within its borders.

For buyers, Exeter is about land, farms, and privacy, with Yawgoo Valley — Rhode Island's only ski area — and miles of trails nearby. Below is a look at the town, 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 Areas of Exeter

  • Exeter's farm country. The open farmland and fields along Routes 2 and 102, with farmhouses and homes on acreage.
  • The Arcadia area. The state's largest management area, with trails, ponds, and rural homes at its edges.
  • Yawgoo. The area around Yawgoo Valley, Rhode Island's only ski area.
  • Fisherville & Millville. Historic rural hamlets with older homes.
  • Ten Rod Road & Route 102. Newer subdivisions and single-family homes on larger lots.

Exeter 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 Exeter figure and your property's classification with the Exeter Tax Assessor before relying on it.

I'm glad to walk through what the tax picture looks like for a specific address.

Buying or Selling in Exeter

Exeter rewards local knowledge — pricing a farmhouse on acreage is a different exercise than pricing a newer home in a subdivision, and rural land, wells, and septic all factor in. Whether you're buying land, a farm, or a home, or selling, I can help you read it accurately. I work with buyers and sellers here in English and Spanish, with no pressure.
