A walkable locale next to Roger Williams Park

Nestled along the Providence River, Washington Park is a neighborhood about three miles south of Downtown Providence. Washington Park merges the wonder of suburban and urban living with its abundant amenities. The eastern area of the community is dedicated to light industry companies and several government offices. The neighborhood features a wide variety of rentals from multi-family houses to small bungalows to upscale apartments. Along Narragansett Boulevard and Broad Street residents have access to some of casual eateries, laid-back bars, and small shops. Some residents are even able to walk to Roger Williams Park, which is adjacent to the neighborhood. Roger Williams Park is a sprawling 430-acre green space that houses the Roger Williams Zoo, Carousel Village, the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium, and so much more. Stroll around as you admire sculptures and ponds, go to a community event like Paint Night, or try some local cuisine at Food Truck Friday. For even more options, Downtown Providence is only a 10-mintue drive away.

I am a fairly new home owner in the neighborhood. My family and I were apprehensive about moving to Providence. While looking at home we considered many neighborhoods but fell in love with Washington Park. I've come to love the suburban feel while being minutes from downtown.

The houses are one family houses. They are nice quality, but they are almost a century old, if not ever the century. Because I live on the Cranston/ Providence city line, the Cranston section is a little nicer.
