About Exeter

Twenty-three miles south of Providence, Rhode Island, Exeter hosts a population of 6,000 residents. The town derives its name from the town of Exeter in Devon, England and is the location of folklorists’ infamous Mercy Brown Vampire Incident of 1892. Located in a relatively rural area of Rhode Island, residents of an Exeter house or apartment for rent find a blend of small-town living and big city resources as Providence is just a 30-minute drive away with various shopping areas even closer, located along the I-95 corridor. A few miles outside of Exeter is a relatively small, but comprehensive outlet mall that offers discounted merchandise from national retailers.

Yawgoo Valley, part of Exeter, is actually the only full-service ski resort in the state and is crowded for the entire winter skiing season as it’s the most convenient destination for avid skiers living in Rhode Island. The Exeter Country Club is another popular destination in the warmer months for its excellent golfing and social activities. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Exeter can also utilize Stepping Stone Falls, Breakheart Trail, Browning Mill Pond recreation area, and the Wood River, all part of the Arcadia Management Area a few miles west of Exeter. For nature-bound residents, the area provides unlimited possibilities as a spectacular weekend getaway.
