Living in Richmond, RI

Richmond is a rural town in Washington County in southwestern Rhode Island, situated roughly between the coastal communities of South County and the Connecticut border. The town is largely wooded and open, with stretches of farmland, wetlands, and the scenic Wood River running through its landscape. It is home to the villages of Wyoming, Shannock, and Carolina, each with its own quiet, small-town character. The town sits near the Wood-Pawcatuck Wild and Scenic River corridor and offers easy access to Arcadia Management Area, one of the largest parcels of public conservation land in Rhode Island. Its location along Route 138 provides reasonable access to the rest of Washington County, the coastal towns of Narragansett and Westerly, and Interstate 95.
