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.

My parents moved me here when I was three, and I still live here. People aren't extremely friendly, but they don't bother you either.
