About

East Side of Providence

The East Side of Providence is an area of the city containing several different neighborhoods — Fox Point, College Hill, Blackstone, Mount Hope, South Main, Wayland Square, among others. It’s known as the home of two prestigious universities — Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) — and the most affluent demographic in Providence. Yet each neighborhood here is unique. On College Hill, you have historic homes and cobblestone streets right next to a bustling, “college town” atmosphere with bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. In Blackstone, you’re surrounded by gorgeous townhouses and historic mansions (dating back over 100 years in many cases). It’s by far the most sought after real estate market in the Providence area, both for homebuyers and renters.
