Living in Westerly, Rhode Island
Westerly occupies Rhode Island's southwestern corner, where the Pawcatuck River forms the state line with Connecticut and the Atlantic coastline stretches along Block Island Sound. This geography gives the town a dual character: a lively, sandy beach culture in communities like Misquamicut, and a grounded, year-round small-city life centered on its historic downtown. The result is a town that feels complete in every season, not simply a summer destination.
A Downtown Worth Exploring
Westerly's downtown is anchored by Wilcox Park, a beautifully landscaped public green that serves as the social heart of the community. The surrounding streets are lined with well-preserved Victorian and early 20th-century buildings housing independent restaurants, boutiques, and cultural venues. The restored Westerly train station provides direct Amtrak service on the Northeast Regional and Acela corridors, making the town unusually well-connected for a community of its size in Rhode Island.
The Appeal of Buying in Westerly
The Westerly real estate market offers notable variety. Buyers can explore historic in-town properties close to the train station and downtown amenities, waterfront and near-beach cottages in the shore communities, or quieter residential streets in the town's outlying villages.
