Tiverton Area Information

Tiverton was originally incorporated into the colony of Massachusetts in 1694. However, this area along the east side of Narragansett Bay was hotly contested. In 1747, Tiverton and a number of neighbouring towns were annexed and incorporated into Rhode Island.

In the early days, Tiverton’s economy was mostly supported by farming, fishing and boat construction. Menhaden oil, a fish derivative, was manufactured in Tiverton until 1900. As early as 1827, wool and cotton mills also supported Tiverton's economy.

Tiverton Real Estate Frequently Asked Questions

What types of properties are common in Tiverton?

Tiverton includes a wide mix of real estate, from historic farmhouses to newer subdivisions and coastal cottages. Waterfront and waterfront homes are available along the Sakonnet River and Nanaquaket Pond. Inland, you’ll find colonials, ranches, and split-level homes on larger lots. Tiverton Four Corners is known for its historic charm and rural setting. Condo communities are limited but present in areas closer to Fall River. Larger parcels of land are also available for those seeking privacy or future development potential.

How has the Tiverton market performed in recent years?

Tiverton’s real estate market has seen steady growth, fueled by out-of-state buyers and its appeal as a quieter alternative to more densely developed towns. Demand for waterfront homes continues to increase, particularly those with access to the river or views. Prices have gradually climbed, especially post-2020, but still remain more affordable than many nearby coastal communities. Inventory can be tight, especially for properties near the water. Local agents can help navigate off-market and early listings. Many buyers are also drawn by the absence of a car tax and modest property tax rates.

Is Tiverton a good place for full-time living or just a vacation spot?

While some homes in Tiverton are used seasonally, the majority of residents live there year-round. The town provides public schools, local shops, and town services that support daily living. Amenities like Tiverton Public Library, Sandywoods Center for the Arts, and several parks make it appealing for full-time residents. The area’s rural feel attracts those looking for quieter neighborhoods away from larger cities. That said, it remains a popular destination for summer visitors, especially near Fogland Beach and Seapowet Marsh. Several properties are second homes or short-term rentals.

What amenities and services are in the area?

Tiverton Crossing and the nearby Fall River commercial district offer grocery stores, restaurants, and daily necessities. Local favorites include Gray’s Ice Cream, the Red Dory, and the shops in Tiverton Four Corners. Public beaches, marinas, and boat launches give easy access to coastal activities. Residents also benefit from nearby healthcare services, including Saint Anne’s Hospital in Fall River. Commuters appreciate access to Route 24, connecting Tiverton to Providence and Boston. Several hiking trails and conservation areas provide year-round outdoor access.

Are there new construction homes in Tiverton?

Yes, Tiverton has experienced small-scale residential development in recent years, including single-family homes and a few planned communities. These developments are generally concentrated away from the waterfront and often offer larger lots. Buyers can find homes with modern floor plans, energy-efficient features, and new finishes. Some newer properties are still custom builds or spec homes available through local developers. Lot availability depends on zoning and permitting, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. Working with a local Realtor® helps identify parcels with building potential.

What are some of Tiverton’s most desirable neighborhoods?

Desirable areas include neighborhoods along Nanaquaket Pond and Highland Road, as well as waterfront stretches on Riverside Drive. Tiverton Four Corners is known for its historic architecture and creative community. The neighborhoods near Bulgarmarsh Road offer proximity to shopping and schools. Many residents enjoy the pastoral setting of the town’s southern end, closer to Little Compton. Fogland Beach and Seapowet Point are attractive for their views and access to the shoreline. These areas tend to have limited turnover and require early action when listings appear.

Is Tiverton a good option for commuters?

Tiverton is well-situated for those commuting to Fall River, Providence, or even Boston. Route 24 runs through the northern part of town, providing direct access to I-195. The drive to Providence typically takes 35–40 minutes, while Boston is reachable in under 90. Many remote workers have relocated here for the quiet lifestyle with manageable access to city amenities. There’s no commuter rail station in Tiverton, but nearby stops in Fall River and future South Coast Rail service will improve transit options. Some commuters also carpool or use regional park-and-ride lots.

What should buyers know about zoning and septic regulations?

Much of Tiverton uses septic systems and private wells, especially in rural and waterfront areas. Before purchasing, it's important to review existing system reports and water tests. The town enforces zoning ordinances for setbacks, wetland buffers, and lot size minimums. Some lots near conservation areas or floodplains may require special permitting or restrictions on development. New construction must follow Rhode Island DEM guidelines. An experienced Realtor® can help coordinate with local inspectors and engineers to verify feasibility.
