RE:Know of a RI home for sale?

Eric, while those towns are desireble,they are way overpriced and you cant get a decent house down there for under 180,000.Finding one is ever harder!! My friend just baught in charlestown he paid 120,000 for a ranch and the house needed another 20,000 just to be braught up to liveble standards.Almost isnt worth it.Rhode island is very, very small and anyplace can be driven to in under 45 minutes.Look at the fringes and you will get a great house at a good price,the only trade off will be a 20minute drive to fish,which is nothing!! Here in warwick neck,I have fishing right in my back yard! which is very,very good in the spring and fall,Im at the best spring striper spot in under 2minutes!! and, it lasts until mid june.In september it heats right up again.

It pays to shop around and remember rhode island is small.Before you have to "settle" on a house that your not completly happy with,just to be in charlestown,look closer at towns like, coventry, north kingstown,warwick,exeter..etc,They are all very close to some good water.
