No Barrington-specific premium figure was found this pass; Rhode Island's own statewide average ran $1,932-$2,196/year, substantially below the national average.
Real bay-shoreline hurricane and flood exposure
Barrington -- bordered on three sides by water along Narragansett Bay -- carries real, disclosed hurricane and coastal-flooding exposure, though genuinely more bay-facing and sheltered than Westerly's direct open-Atlantic exposure.
Confirm flood insurance separately
Standard homeowners coverage does not include flood damage -- a prospective waterfront buyer should confirm current NFIP flood-insurance cost and availability directly.
