Living in West Warwick
West Warwick is Rhode Island's youngest town and one of its most compact — a string of historic mill villages along the Pawtuxet River, each with its own church, main street, and identity.
It is consistently one of the most affordable markets in central Rhode Island, which makes it a strong first-purchase town and a steady multifamily investment market.

- Older mill-village housing rewards buyers who understand renovation costs, which is where Cheryl's flipping background pays off.
