The Villages on Mount Hope Bay-New England's Premier Waterfront Active Adult Community

Enjoying spectacular sunsets from your private deck, taking early morning strolls along the water's edge, dining at a waterfront café, or relaxing after a brisk workout and dip in the pool at your own private fitness center. Sound like a Caribbean resort vacation? For residents at The Villages on Mount Hope Bay in Tiverton, Rhode Island, this will be daily living.

"It's no wonder this community is referred to as 'New England's Premier Waterfront Active Adult Community'," remarked Andy Ross, managing partner of New England Property Holdings LLC, the developer of the community. "Since we began planning this community nearly four years ago, every effort has been made to design a place for active adults 55 and over that would set a standard for all other communities," Ross noted.

The scope of the project is as breathtaking as the views of Mount Hope Bay. Imagine a 96-acre waterfront location with unrestricted views of the water, plus a 10,000 square foot clubhouse with outdoor pool and fitness center, 3/4 of a mile nature trail along the waterfront, an on-site retails district with shoppes, a New England-style inn and seasonal restaurant, and a lobster pound / fish market that's open to the public.

"The easy access to The Villages will surely make it a destination community for people from Maine to New York," said Bob Cole of The Collaborative Companies, which is responsible for the on-site sales of the 290 residences planned for the community. "The homes will provide a carefree lifestyle both for working adults as well as those already enjoying retirement," Cole added.

Area attractions range from the Four Corners art enclave in Tiverton to the quaint shops in Little Compton and nearby Newport. The hometown character of Tiverton is a strong attraction to the general area according to Arthur Casey of New England Property Holdings, LLC.

"From the first time I saw the site, I knew this was a special place," Casey said. "The enthusiastic support and cooperation which we've received from everyone has helped to make this dream become a reality," he added.
