Hampden Meadows, located between the Barrington River and Hundred Acre Cove, is a waterfront and residential Barrington neighborhood with salt-marsh edges and broad bay views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Barrington Yacht Club on Rumstick Road, where masts, dinghy racks, and a working marina set a coastal, lived-in rhythm. Streets are lined with mid-century ranches and shingled colonials, with long driveways and mature trees framing the shoreline. Kayaks and paddleboards appear at small launches as the tide shifts across the cove. The landscape reads as quiet and maritime, with conservation land and inlets shaping daily routes. Nearby, Blount Clam Shack, The Coffee Depot, and the Barrington Preservation Society add local flavor beyond the water.
