The East Side of Providence is made up of numerous neighborhoods situated roughly between Downtown Providence and the Seekonk River. Fox Point, College Hill, Wayland, Blackstone, Hope, and Mount Hope are all considered to be East Side communities.
Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design are both located on the East Side, making the area particularly popular among students, faculty, and staff. The East Side boasts an array of ornate, historic architecture, which lends plenty of character to the region’s rental options, from renovated apartments in longstanding buildings to elegant townhomes and houses tucked along tree-lined streets.
Residents revere the area’s compact, walkable layout and find a variety of parks, cafes, and eateries within walking distance of their homes. Residents who prefer to drive enjoy short commute times with convenience to Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1.
