CNN recently named Barrington, RI, as the sixth best place to live in the United States. One person's favorite place might be another's least, but Barrington has such a strong appeal with its pretty harbor, stately estates and mansions, well-kept colonials and victorians and pleasing local stores that it seems like the town that everyone dreams of living in. Add the bay view from the extraordinarily attractive Rhode Island Country Club, a wonderful seaside bike trail and a highly-rated school system, and Barrington is an all-around winner. For those vacationing in Rhode Island, Barrington is a must-see town as it represents New England at its best. Barrington is nine miles southeast from the heart of Providence, borders East Providence, is less than a half hour from Newport and is close to antique shop-crazy Warren and Bristol, which reads like a Bedford Falls (It's a Wonderful Life) by the sea -- the all American town.
