We’ll be on the Warwick/East Greenwich line. Would have loved to be in Narragansett or Newport but the real coastal areas are cost prohibitive. Where in NE are you from?

I was born in Northampton, MA, but my father lived in Stonington, CT. We often went to lunch in Pawcatuck, RI. The Rhode Island town property taxes seemed pretty high, so I hope you have a reasonable future home.

Best of luck in the next phase of your life. Hope you enjoy the cooler summers! My MIL lived in a one-story townhouse, and it was lovely and easy to live in.

Yes, taxes are high. We found a great place and feel it was a ground floor opportunity. Phase one sold out in 6 days. Prices for Phase 2 have already increased by $20K and upgrade costs have also increased.
I love Northampton, MA! Have friends who went to college there. Oh, and Pawcatuck is in CT. Pawtucket is in RI…just on the other side of the state…sits between Providence and Attleboro, MA.

Welcome home !! I know you've been wanting to get back for a while now.
I hope you decide to start posting again in the RI forum. We really need better posters like yourself!! I'm sure your spot near EG will be beautiful!!!
Wishing you the best on this next chapter in your life! We've been thinking of doing the same (going back home to CA). We will wait a few more years (DD lives in NC and wedding in NC in 2024) so we will decide sometime after that.
Enjoy!
Strongly, strongly considering a move back to California (Sacramento) myself. If I pull the trigger target date is likely early year 2026...
Safe travels and good luck in your next chapter. Do tell us about your experience at the coast. That will be our next experience away from the triangle.
There are so many things I’ll miss but a few that I won’t….(specifically, fire ants, and the long summer heat).
Flies. I've never seen so many flies as I have in NC.
Best of luck, we just did the same. After 18 years in Holly Springs we decided to move as well. We didn't move for the "final chapter", quite the opposite. We're at the age where we make enough money to do fun stuff and are still young enough to enjoy it. Moved right to downtown Boston with everything at our fingertips and non-stop flights wherever we want to go.
Will never speak ill of my time in NC. It was exciting to be a part of the growth of Holly Springs. Great place to raise a family and great people.
