Warren is coastal, walkable and has real personality. It isn't a polished, manicured tourist town. It's creative and local, with a working waterfront, a downtown full of independent restaurants and galleries, and the East Bay Bike Path running right through it. It's small, but it comes in very different versions, from Water Street to the quieter Touisset peninsula.

Single-family sales over the past two years. The range is the middle half of sales in each area, and individual sales can run well above or below it. Prices vary street by street, and you need a local to help you understand pricing!
Downtown is where walkability is highest. The homes are older, including colonials, antiques and smaller cottages, and prices vary with age, condition and how close you are to the water.
North Warren, Laurel Park, East Warren and South Warren are more residential, with more standard New England architecture. This is where a lot of relocation buyers land because the price-to-house equation works.
Touisset Neck is the peninsula on the far side of the Kickemuit River. It's quieter and more spread out, with some of the higher-end homes in Warren.
What It Costs
The single-family median so far in 2026 is ~$540,000, based on 49 sales through early November. That compares with $525,000 in 2025, $522,500 in 2024, $474,500 in 2023, $409,950 in 2022 and $253,500 in 2016. Over the past two years, the middle half of sales ran from $440,000 to $689,000, with a high of $1.9 million, and homes had a median of about 20 days on market. For comparison, Barrington’s median was $750,000 in 2025.
| Past two years | Median sale price | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family | ~$525K | $440K–$689K |
| Condos | ~$333K | $264K–$698K |
| Multi-family | ~$680K | $520K–$786K |
The range is the middle half of sales. Condo prices depend almost entirely on the complex, from around $170,000 up to $1.2 million for townhomes on the water. Multi-family sales reached $1.2 million.
Before You Buy
Warren is small, and inventory is limited, so it pays to know which version of the town you want.
- Older homes: Downtown homes are older, with smaller lots and a range of conditions. Check the size, the parking and the systems, and budget for what the house needs.
- Historic district: Much of downtown is in the Warren Waterfront Historic District. We'll check what that means for the specific home.
- Flood zones: Parts of town are in flood zones, so check the flood map and elevation early and price flood insurance into your budget.
- Septic in Touisset: Much of Warren is served by sewers, but Touisset Neck is on septic systems, so plan your inspection around that.
- Taxes: The residential rate is $14.89 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Daily Life
- Getting around: Providence is about 20 to 30 minutes away, Newport 30 to 40 and Boston a little over an hour to an hour and a half, depending on traffic. Route 114 runs through town.
- Downtown: You can walk to coffee, art galleries, restaurants and small businesses along Water Street and Main Street. The American Planning Association named Downtown Warren one of its Great Neighborhoods in 2016.
- Food: The Square Peg has the best fish tacos I've found anywhere, and it's great for all kinds of dietary concerns. Blount is also a place folks rave about. There are so many places to enjoy, tell me what you like and I'll be happy to make the recommendation!
- Outdoors: You've got the East Bay Bike Path right through town, plus the working waterfront, marinas and Burr's Hill Park on the water.
- Community: There's always something happening, including Warren Folks Fest and the Quahog and Art Festival.
- Hospitals: The major hospitals in Providence are a drive away.
- Utilities: Bristol County Water Authority serves Warren. Much of the town is on sewer, and Touisset Neck is on septic. Confirm these for any home you're serious about.
Warren is small enough to see in an afternoon. Reach out, and I'll help you figure out which version of it fits the way you want to live.
