Gateway community — close to Providence, family-oriented, growing
Population: 17,000 · South Coast Massachusetts
Swansea sits right on the Rhode Island border, giving residents easy access to Providence while keeping that Massachusetts small-town feel. It's a family-oriented community with good schools, active recreation programs, and a growing sense of identity. The waterfront on Cole's River is underappreciated, and the town's location makes it uniquely convenient.
