 Whether newcomer, visitor or long time resident, people agree that South County is a special place. The unique combination of its shoreline climate, strong sense of community and top-notch schools and recreational facilities make this the fastest growing area in Rhode Island. Come to South County and you won't want to leave. Many are attracted to the pristine shoreline, with its unspoiled dunes, salt ponds and even islands. Others prefer the rural serenity of inland South County where you can still see dairy cows and horses grazing.

 But, you don't have to give up the conveniences of modern living to adopt the South County lifestyle. The commercial centers of Wickford, Wakefield, Narragansett and Westerly, to name a few, offer the amenities of modern living, and of course, the state's newest addition of the Providence Place Mall is only a short 30 minute drive. Many new residents are drawn to the state because of the quality of our schools. Boasting high test scores and progressive thinking, South County schools share a reputation for being among the best in the state.
Our cultural industry of music, dance, visual art and theatre is an integral characteristic of our talented diverse population. From concerts in the park to art gallery opening receptions and artists' studio tours, there is always something special happening within our thriving arts community for everyone to enjoy - residents and visitors alike.

Working With An Agent >A Real Estate Agents Expertise
If you are using the services of a professional real estate agent to find a new home, good communication is crucial to the transaction. A real estate agent who knows your most significant criteria can work much more effectively to show you homes that will meet your needs.
Let the real estate agent know why you are interested in a specific location. Discuss specific requirements such as proximity to your job, good schools, or recreational activities. If there are no houses available in your price range, the agent may suggest alternate neighborhoods with the same amenities. Do you need a home office or do you have hobbies that you want to accommodate? Is there a particular style of architecture that you prefer?
Agents sometimes have to be intuitive when we work with buyers. The more you can describe to your agent what elements in the home are essential and where you are willing to compromise, the easier it will be to use their expertise to find a home that's perfect for you.
