Living in Glocester

Glocester is the classic Rhode Island country town: rolling farmland, stone walls, a village center that still looks like a postcard, and some of the best state forest land in New England right in its backyard. Chepachet village is the heart of it — and it is where Cheryl's RE/MAX Host of Homes office sits on Putnam Pike.

The town includes the villages of Chepachet, Harmony, Clayville, and West Glocester, each with its own feel. Buyers here are usually trading commute time for land, privacy, and a real sense of community.
