Country roads, farms, and coastal living along the Rhode Island border.
Living in Westport
Westport sits on the South Coast of Massachusetts along the Rhode Island border, offering a combination that's hard to find elsewhere: rural New England character and coastal living in the same town. It suits buyers looking for more land, more privacy, and a country pace, without giving up access to the beach.

How I Serve Westport
I'm Sheri Francis with BOLD Real Estate, and some of my earliest memories are of driving through Westport's country roads as a kid, noticing the open land, stone walls, and farms. That landscape is still one of the things I appreciate most, and I bring that genuine familiarity to buyers exploring Westport for the first time.
Westport Neighborhoods & Communities
Some parts of Westport are rural, larger parcels, wooded properties, and long stretches of country road. Other sections feel more residential, and toward Westport Point and the southern end of town, the coastal character takes over entirely, with beaches, marinas, and waterfront homes near Horseneck Beach State Reservation and Gooseberry Island.
Westport Housing Market & Home Types
Westport offers capes, ranches, colonials, newer construction, country properties with real acreage, and coastal or waterfront homes, and prices vary substantially based on location and proximity to the water. A country home on several acres is a very different purchase from a home in a more traditional neighborhood, worth thinking through before you start touring.
