Charlestown Rhode Island (RI) Real Estate Tour
Tour Charlestown, RI neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.
Charlestown, Rhode Island is located along the southern shore of the state, approximately equidistant from New London, Connecticut and Providence. The lands of the Narragansett Tribe of Indians, approximately 1,900 acres, are almost entirely surrounded by Charlestown and adjoin Richmond to the north.
Charlestown's landscape is divided by a ridge of steeply rolling hills (glacial moraine) that run north of U.S. Route 1 parallel to the shore. The flat, sandy coastal area extends roughly from Route 1 South to Block Island Sound. North of the moraine, the terrain is more gentle with large wetlands such as the Cedar Swamp and open water bodies such as Watchaug, Schoolhouse, and Pasquiset Ponds. Charlestown's northern boundary is defined by the Pawcatuck River.
The unusually large amount of conservation and recreation land in Charlestown reflects the abundance of important natural resources in the town. Burlingame State Park, Ninigret Wildlife Refuge, Ninigret Park, and East Beach comprise approximately 20 percent of the total land area and protect wetlands, fresh and salt ponds, a barrier beach system, and other valuable habitats. The waters of Charlestown are perfect for boating, fishing, swimming, and exploring. For other town tours visit . For towns in RI visit . For RI relocation information go to .
