Exeter, RI Real Estate

Residents refer to Exeter by a local saying: “The Middle of Nowhere.” Not entirely accurate, since Rhode Island is a small state and you can travel to Providence in under 30 minutes, but it does say something about the vibe and culture of this rural town. Exeter is quiet, peaceful, and secluded. Homeowners here enjoy their privacy and being set back from the urban hustle and bustle of the metro area. Plus, there are an abundant amount of green spaces for recreation and exploring nature. Homes for sale can range between 60K — 2.5 million.
