Highland beach, in Warwick, RI is my home town. It is on the very neck of Warwick Neck, another village in Warwick. Perhaps I should say my home "village" as I am continuing on the series I started a couple of years ago.
Back then I promised to do an entire series on the villages in Warwick. I first blogged about Oakland Beach in Warwick RI and I continue to receive calls and emails from that blog. In fact, Oakland Beach has been improving by the minute and I am selling homes there as fast as they go on the market. I am starting to think maybe I should have kept Oakland Beach a secret!
Next I blogged about Conimicut Point, another beach community (and Village) in Warwick, and of course Warwick itself!
Getting to Highland Beach is (and most Rhode Islanders remember this) usually by the "back road to Rocky Point" 
or Palmer Avenue. Off Palmer avenue are two streets that lead into Highland Beach. These are the only streets into and out of Highland Beach. Once inside you can go down a few different streets, like Priscilla, Ogden, Surf, Chapin, etc, but they all lead to the water.
While Highland Beach has a very small beach, most of the properties are on the waterfront and all the others back up the hill overlooking the waterfront houses. This is a very quaint community. There are homes that have been here for almost one hundred years, meaning that they survived the Hurricane of 38! which to my knowledge was the biggest hurricanes to hit Rhode Island in the past century.
There are all types of homes in Highland Beach. Former beach houses, now converted, large Cape Annes, many with wide porches and also some newer homes are all what makes Highland Beach so quaint. There are no two homes alike and the one bond is the Narragansett Bay!
If you want to live in Highland Beach, you need to be working with a Realtor because, these homes do not stay on the market for long. There are two here for sale right now. One is a waterfront and one is a raised ranch at the top of the hill.

Sounds like there are a lot of great places around you in Rhode Island. I have never been but sounds like it would be a great trip - love the water. Looks like you are going hyper local which is great to get the word out.
