Living in Narragansett, Rhode Island

What is Narragansett, Rhode Island like? Narragansett sits at the entrance to Narragansett Bay in Washington County — often called South County — a roughly 14-square-mile coastal town bounded by the Pettaquamscutt (Narrow) River to the north and Point Judith Pond to the south. It's really several shoreline areas rather than one market: the Pier, Bonnet Shores, Point Judith and Galilee, Jerusalem, and Scarborough — and they don't price the same.

Buyers who shop it as a single market can overpay in one area and miss value in another. Below is what each area actually is, how property taxes work here, and where the market stands right now. For current prices and days on market, see the market snapshot near the top of this page. I work with buyers and sellers across Narragansett, and I'm here to help in English or Spanish whenever you're ready.

The Coastal Areas of Narragansett

  • Narragansett Pier. The historic resort core along Ocean Road, home to The Towers (the surviving stone arch of the 1880s Pier Casino) and Narragansett Town Beach. A mix of Victorian-era homes, coastal cottages, capes, and condominiums; waterfront and ocean-view addresses sit at the top of the local price range.
  • Bonnet Shores. A residential shoreline area on the Narrow River side, with small beaches and the Bonnet Shores Beach Club. Cottages, year-round homes, and condominiums.
  • Point Judith & Galilee. The town's working waterfront: Galilee is a commercial fishing port and the terminal for the Block Island Ferry, with the Point Judith Lighthouse marking the mouth of the bay. Roger Wheeler and Salty Brine State Beaches and Fishermen's Memorial State Park are here. Homes range from compact cottages to newer coastal builds.
  • Jerusalem. A small fishing village across the breachway from Galilee, with cottages and waterfront homes oriented to Point Judith Pond and the charter boats that run from it.
  • Scarborough. The stretch anchored by Scarborough State Beach, one of the state's largest ocean beaches; seasonal and year-round homes and condominiums close to the shore.
  • Great Island. A residential area on Point Judith Pond reached by causeway near Galilee, with waterfront and water-view homes.

Narragansett Property Taxes

Rhode Island communities set their property-tax rates annually, and the amount that applies to a given home depends on its assessed value and how the town classifies the property. Some Rhode Island municipalities tax owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied (or seasonal) homes differently — worth knowing in a coastal market like Narragansett, where many properties are second homes.

Because the rate is reset each year, confirm the current Narragansett figure and your property's classification with the Narragansett Tax Assessor before relying on it. I'm glad to walk through what the tax picture looks like for a specific address.
