If providing your family with recreational activities is important to you, I have compiled a list of state parks, some with swimming and boating, others offering bike paths and hiking, and others with camping facilities. These are the ancillary amenities that may be important to buyers, and certainly worth promoting when selling your home.
Those of us who already live in Rhode Island and Massachusetts already know how lucky we are to have all of this practically at our doorstep.
