230 S Main St Unit 7

As its name implies, College Hill rises steeply from sea level to connect downtown to the city's East Side and is home to the prestigious Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. Boasting some of the city's best views, College Hill is adjacent to downtown, across the Providence River. This historic neighborhood and cultural hub is home to an eclectic mixture of architectural styles that few neighborhoods possess. Many of this cobbled-street neighborhood's historic homes date back to the Revolutionary era. The pre-Colonial towers of Brown University and post-modern structures of Rhode Island School of Design blend harmoniously with the juxtaposition of Federal, Greek Revival, and Neoclassical styles that characterize the area. Affordable student housing, sleek upscale apartments, and colorful single-family homes give a modern contrast to the neighborhood’s quaint feel.
