There are many choices but your most affordable buy right now are waterfront condos in North Kingstown in the Cedarhurst complex.
Honestly, waterfront home buyers need to understand that I, as a RI coastal real estate agent, can not create the property for you.

I must receive at least a few calls a week telling me they are looking for it, will wait for it and just call them when it comes on the RI real estate market!! It is not ever happening. To be more than truthful, I would buy it first and foremost if that was the case.
