Scituate, RIInc. 1731
Scituate is a large, rural town in the center of Providence County, dominated by the Scituate Reservoir — the primary water supply for metropolitan Providence. The reservoir and its extensive protected watershed constrain development across much of the town, giving Scituate a rural character unusual for a community so close to Providence.
For property professionals, Scituate is an affordable, rural market where the reservoir watershed restrictions create the defining land-use constraint. Properties outside the watershed can develop more conventionally, while properties within it face significant environmental limitations.
