Plainville

Plainville might be small, but it’s packed with heart. This is the kind of town where everyone knows your name, and there’s always something happening at the local bookstore, An Unlikely Story. Owned by “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” author Jeff Kinney, it’s more than just a bookstore—it’s a community hangout, with events, book signings, and a cozy café.

Families here appreciate the solid schools in the King Philip Regional School District. When it comes to homes, Plainville offers a mix of old and new, from charming historic houses to fresh, modern builds.

Plainville’s location is another big plus. It’s close to major highways like I-495 and Route 1, making it easy to get to Boston or Providence. If you’re after a tight-knit community with a small-town feel and great access to the city, Plainville might be your perfect match.
