“Houses can form a neighborhood but only people can make it a community."

Community is an essential part of family, of lifestyle, and of real estate.

Understanding local conditions in your choice of neighborhood is important when it comes to buying and selling real estate, but the neighborhood you choose can have a dramatic impact on all other aspects of your life as well. The schools, the amenities, proximity to mass transport or highways, shopping, and the attributes of the neighborhood itself. For example, I live in a community called Common Fence Point, in Portsmouth RI. I am within a 5 minute walk of a private community owned beach, 2 marinas, a golf course, and a small neighborhood general store. Because I love to walk in the mornings or evenings, and because my husband and I love to kayak, these features make this area a wonderful place for us. We are an easy 2 minute ride to Route 24, which can take us to Providence in 20 minutes, Boston in just over an hour, and Newport in about 15 minutes. What more could we ask for?

Please feel free to browse through the complimentary Rhode Island information I’ve provided.

When it’s time to move, call me to get a representative on your side who has experience, Newport County, Bristol County, or South County market knowledge, and the confidence to help you make the best transaction possible. Enjoy!  Mandie

Tips for Finding the Perfect Neighborhood



1. Make a list of all of the amenities that are close by in the neighborhood you are considering as your new residence.  Keep in mind what distances and routes to each of these places are acceptable and what are not.

2.  Determine what the best features of the neighborhoods are.  This is especially helpful if you are deciding between a few different neighborhoods.

Are there parks nearby?
Is it scenic and visually appealing?
Are there quiet areas, streets, culs de sac?
Are the people friendly in the neighborhood?
Is the neighborhood clean?  Yards, streets, parks?
Are there nice trees and foliage?
Do the lots have large or small yards?
Are there walkways and are they easily accessible?
Is it a safe neighborhood?
What are the market values of the homes in the area?
Are there many houses for sale?
How long ago was the community developed?
What is the average age of the people in the area?
Are there families with small children in the area?
What is the proximity to schools?
Are there community events or organizations?

3.  Walk around in the neighborhood.  The best way to determine the cleanliness and friendliness of the neighborhood is to walk around in it and meet its residents.
