Along with historic homes, the Broadway Historic District has a wide variety of rentals available for every budget from charming single-family homes to upscale loft apartments. To access more amenities, residents head north to Atwells Avenue which is known for its vibrant dining and nightlife scene. Downtown Providence is about a mile to west of the neighborhood so some residents can walk to the city’s best restaurants, event venues, theaters, and more if they choose.
