Most would say East Greenwich is a balanced town of pleasant, quiet neighborhoods filled with plenty of green….and some lively retail/dining areas allowing some loud-ish fun times. Similar to Johnston, I’d say East Greenwich is a gateway city….the dense neighborhoods and retail by the Warwick & North Kingstown borders dissipates into spacious far less dense green neighborhoods as you venture to the western and southern borders of town. East Greenwich is looked upon as a desirable, more affluent area to live, similar to Smithfield and North Smithfield. East Greenwich has a small area of water access to the ocean, which they make full use of as it’s completely developed with marinas, businesses, and they even stuck a park in there!

Activities
There are many youth activities/sports available in East Greenwich. The town publishes a flyer of programs, activities, etc…for each season of the year. Residents can sign up to have them emailed to them, or access them online HERE. At that link there’s also a tab listing hiking trails in the town, and rules/regs for the Harbor. Here’s a link programs offered by the town HERE. There’s 1 golf course in East Greenwich (public). Even though it’s a green town, there aren’t many parks to utilize, but Goddard Park in Warwick is right across the border. Walking along Rt. 1, the shops and restaurants, with some historical building to see too along the way is a nice relaxing (and popular) activity.
