Compact Rhode Island is dominated by its magnificent coastline. With one of the most prime locations on the Atlantic Ocean, Rhode Island coastal real estate has been highly desired for centuries. However, the state also has beautiful, dense forests to offer, as well as spectacular rolling hills in the north. Exquisite lakes and streams are characteristic of these areas, which provide some of the most wonderful natural scenery in the United States.

With its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, Rhode Island enjoys relatively temperate weather. Summers are warm and sunny, with highs of around 81 degrees. Winters are cool, but tend to be much warmer than many of the New England states, and the state generally receives around 30 inches of snow throughout the winter season.

Rhode Island has experienced amazing job growth in the last several years. Especially in its all-important health care sector, gains have been healthy. Known as an industrial state, Rhode Island also maintains strong ties to manufacturing. As one of the more densely populated states, with a population of about 1.1 million, Rhode Island has a wonderfully affordable median home value of near $250,000 – one of the lowest in New England!
