Recently we visited the property at 164 Charlotte Drive in the Potowomut section of Warwick.  It is an interesting community with the Potowomut Golf Club and Goddard State Park nearby.  It also has a beautiful stretch of beach on the Narragansett Bay.  Check out the video:

We’re gearing up for the launch of this year’s “Main Street Strolls” in downtown East Greenwich!  The first one will be on May 14th.

Named by Yankee Magazine one of the top 20 things to do in Rhode Island, the strolls have become a destination for many Rhode Islanders and travelers.

Here at Residential Properties, we will be serving our signature S’mores.  We will be joined by the Army recruiters who have been working with us on our “Little Piece of Home” campaign, where we’ve collected loads of supplies for the troops abroad.  We are currently accepting donations and will continue to collect during the Stroll.

We will also have a local (really talented) artist by the name of Leif Veness here displaying his work and creating Henna tattoos as well as M2 Motor Yachts that will be displayed along Main Street.

The Circle of Excellence Awards of the Kent Washington Association of Realtors was held on April 2 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick. The theme of the event was, “Pathway to the Stars.” The theme was carried throughout the evening from the decorations to the performance of the song, “When You Wish upon a Star,” by Pat Connors’ daughters. Pat is the Association Executive of the KW Board. The evening was festive with a cocktail hour followed by a dinner of salmon or prime rib. The award ceremony was held partially during the dinner and then immediately following. Cheryl Eley and Lisa Levine from our East Greenwich Office served on the event committee.

East Greenwich celebrated the holiday season with 3 more “strolls”.  The town is decked to the max and so is Residential Properties Ltd.!

We emptied out our conference room and it was turned into a holiday wonderland! All furnishings are on loan from Marianne Mernick-Sullivan at Consignments Ltd. The display was designed by Mary Harrington of At Home Redesigns.  Hats off to Marianne and Mary for a stunning display!

The spirit of giving was shown by a group of agents from our East Greenwich office who have been knitting scarves for the troops since last month.  The scarves were presented to our local recruiters on December 9th to send over to the soldiers in time for the holidays.

Other items were sent along as well, including food, homemade cookies, toiletries, newspapers, magazines, and cards handmade by students from Our Lady of Mercy in East Greenwich and Bay View Academy in East Providence.

Named one of the 20 most popular things to do in Rhode Island by Yankee Magazine, “Main Street Strolls” have been a catalyst for the revitalization of Main Street in East Greenwich.  Aided by an influx of local shops and restaurants, the strolls have become a tradition throughout the summer months.

Our East Greenwich office, conveniently located on Main Street, participated in each month’s stroll, handing out treats ranging from popcorn to s’mores and fresh iced coffee courtesy of Felicia’s Coffee.

The strolls, run by Bruce MacGunnigle, Town Coordinator for East Greenwich, each have their own theme and were originally intended to span from May-September.  Because of their overwhelming popularity, 3 winter strolls have been added for December.

Word of mouth, local ads, and banners throughout the town have helped to spread the word.

The first winter stroll will be held on December 4th at 5 p.m.

The event will include the lighting of the town Holiday Tree in front of Town Hall and a window decorating contest for all of the businesses on Main Street.  Make yourself at home at our office at 413 Main Street, where will be serving hot chocolate and sweets!
