Wide side walks. Plenty of trash bins and benches. The buildings are also well maintained. There are presently several restaurants, a cafe, coffee shop, specialty food shop, furniture, jewelry and more. Professional/medical office space is located on the upper level. Very happy to have discovered this little gem. Will definitely return.

I have been to South County Commons many times, for shopping, eating or the movies. This open air…read moremall is very cozy and cute. It was designed to look and feel like a traditional New England Village. The Cox service center is large and ample, and they have informed staff to help with internet or cable issues. The Mattress Firm store has pleasant salespeople that have helped us in the past with mattresses purchases. The cafes on site have been a great place to meet friends in the area. Conveniently located off of U.S. Route 1, about 30 miles south of Providence downtown, nearly 70 tenants call The Village at South County Commons home including restaurants, retailers, medical and dental practices, law firms, financial services as well as countless other professional offices. With a preschool, 8-screen cinema, fitness center, apartments, condominiums, independent and assisted living as well as two nationally-branded hotels, there's always something new and exciting to experience. Visitors and shoppers find much more than seaside charm at South County Commons here. Cyclists arrive through the picturesque stone entrance from the Rhode Island Bike Path. During the warmer months at the end of "Main Street" theres' a Summer Concert Series where the community gathers on the Circle for some live music. Also in the summer months, many come by for the Outdoor Movie Nights with complimentary popcorn provided by the on-site movie theater. Nice place to stroll around, to browse the windows and/or to get a cup of coffee or a meal....

There are several community rooms for residents to have events and gatherings. There is a small convenience store that is open 2 hours a day every day. Just a great place for senior living.

We are now enjoying our third year at Durkin. A few observations…read more First, I think there may be a difference between the properties they manage and those that they own. They own this one, which is behind the office. Near the pool, but not on or as near the beach--it's a trade-off. We've only stayed here, in one of the properties that they own--and have loved it (three years, and plan to book for next summer). I'm not trying to deny or discount the experience of people who've rented at a property that Durkin manages, but we've really been treated well in every way. If you want to be at this end of South County, my advice would be to stick with a property they own. In the bargain, you'll get the pool, great outdoor showers, we've met super-nice people, it's just awesome. Plus, the women in the office are outstanding, funny, even-keeled. Love this place.

While I did not stay at the Durkin Hotel at 87 Narragansett Ave, I toured it after 2 cultural…read moreexchange students invited me to view it as they were very upset with the condition of the rental and the owner. I heard the testimony from two cultural exchange students, and they were emphatic on the very bad living conditions they were subjected to while living in this so called hotel. In all honesty, if this hotel was part of a national hotel chain, it would have been shut down. I too could not believe a multimillionaire would allow his hotel to be in such a rundown condition. I also reached out to the Stop and Shop management as the students worked at Stop and Shop and Stop and Shop was involved in obtaining the hotel for the students. The management at Stop and Shop told me they reached out to Mr. James Durkin to clean up and repair his property, but he refused. In addition, Stop and Shop had to try to do some cleaning on their own. The young ladies were intimidated to file a complaint as they were cultural exchange students, and James is on the Narragansett Town Council. I voted for James Durkin on the Town Council, but sadly after I found out he was a slumlord, I am sad I voted for him. I any event, please watch this video. https://youtu.be/NlLpLNkRVZU?si=4j26fv6wrHx4dW4d

Things started off fine - The elder Shea in this family business arrived on time to assess and…read moreoffer an estimate on fixing a front door needing either full realignment or replacement. There was a secondary job of replacing a small outdoor shower enclosure. The discussion about the door was thorough with replacement - something which normally comes in around $1000 - $1500 (door & labor) - suggested as the best choice. For the shower, I was given some suggestions for a larger, nicer enclosure. I did agree to get an estimate for that as long as I also got one for a simple replacement of the smaller walls and the shower head. That meeting left me feeling pretty confident in this company. After a couple of weeks I had to call to see if an estimate would be coming soon. They apologized for the delay and sent me the estimate later that day. $9000 for an amazing sounding, spa-like outdoor shower. No estimate for a straightforward replacement however And more importantly, no door estimate. When the mistake was brought to their attention, they did apologize. Then sent me the same estimate again. Last night I received a new email - not an estimate for the door but an invoice for it. No estimate or description of what would be done. Just a bill of almost $4000 for a door and work which didn't actually exist yet. Something had been vastly confused in the shower, but I'm puzzled that after that I'd still receive a stunning bill for a non-existent door One which I imagine would be incredibly epic on the little beach cottage it would end up on.
