Rumford Homes for Rent

Rumford, a suburb in East Providence, is situated on the city's northern border across the Seekonk River from the East Side. The neighborhood features a mix of historic and midcentury homes, including Cape Cods, minimal traditional homes from the early 1900s, and midcentury ranch-style houses.
