Shingle style home on the Rhode Island coast

Life in Narragansett, RI

Narragansett is known for its beaches, including Narragansett Town Beach and three state beaches: Scarborough, Roger W. Wheeler and Salty Brine. The Port of Galilee at Point Judith is a working fishing village with a major commercial fleet and year-round ferry service to Block Island. The stone Towers on Ocean Road are the town's best-known landmark.

Narragansett grew from a farming and fishing community into a resort after Philadelphian Joseph H. Dulles visited in 1848, and the first real hotel, The Narragansett House, opened in 1856. The Narragansett Pier Railroad arrived in 1876, and by the end of the 1800s the Pier had some nineteen major hotels and a McKim, Mead & White casino. That casino burned on September 12, 1900, leaving The Towers (built 1883 to 1886) standing as the survivor. The town describes itself as suburban with strong tourism, and it is about 30 minutes to Providence or Newport. The town has grown fast since 1950, drawn by its beaches and easy access to Providence and Newport, and the URI Bay Campus and Graduate School of Oceanography sit in the north end.

Buying in Narragansett: what Ryan and Megan check

  • Much of the shoreline sits in FEMA flood zones. The town has a Special Flood Hazard Area overlay, and its Community Rating System Class 7 gives owners a 15% discount on flood insurance premiums. Check the flood zone and base flood elevation with Community Development.
  • Every rental, including academic, summer and short-term stays under 30 days, must be registered with the town each year by August 31, at $120 per unit. Rules on unrelated occupants also apply, so investors near URI should review them before buying.
  • Homes in the Central Street, The Towers, Earle's Court and Ocean Road historic districts need Historic District Commission approval for exterior changes and demolition.
  • Some areas use septic systems. The town runs a loan program for failed systems, so order a septic inspection. In Bonnet Shores, the fire district sends its own separate tax bill.
