Slocum balances peaceful, country living with easy access to coastal amenities, set amid fields, stone walls, and winding back roads in the rural reaches of North Kingstown. You’ll find farmstands and wide-open skies, yet you’re a short drive to the dining and marinas of East Greenwich, the forests of Exeter, and the beaches and university life in South Kingstown. Commuters appreciate quick connections along South County Trail and nearby rail service at the Amtrak Kingston Station. The area’s identity is distinctly Washington County: relaxed, outdoorsy, and proud of its agricultural roots.
Weekends here are easy to fill. Hit the slopes or the water slides at Yawgoo Valley Ski Area & Water Park, hike or fish in the vast Arcadia Management Area, or explore local history at the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace & Museum. Wickford’s harborside boutiques and cafes are close by, and town parks and trails add plenty of room to roam.
Families are served by the North Kingstown School Department, with strong programs that feed into North Kingstown High School. Higher education and cultural events are minutes away at the University of Rhode Island, enriching daily life with lectures, athletics, and arts.
Whether you’re buying a farmhouse with acreage or selling a long-loved homestead, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local real estate agent who knows Slocum’s back roads, neighborhoods, and market dynamics.
