Suburban family

Quiet residential, kids in the front yard, cars to most things.

Please choose a pace.

Step 5 of 14

How important is coastal access?

Critical

School district drives the entire decision.

Important

Solid schools matter, but I'm flexible on rank.

Neutral

Either no kids in the system, or homeschool/private.

Fully remote

Where I live doesn't depend on commute.

Commuting up I-95 or via train.

Frequent flyer (TF Green / Logan)

Step 9 of 14

How do you feel about Rhode Island's older housing stock?

Most homes here are 50+ years old. New construction is rare in desirable towns.

Love historic / antique homes

Character is the appeal — bring on the old wood floors.

Open to renovation projects

I'll fix what needs fixing if the bones are good.

Want move-in ready, but historic is OK

Updated systems matter, charm is welcome.

Want newer construction only

Modern systems, modern layouts.
