Culturally vibrant community on the banks of the Blackstone River
Originally a mill town turned textile hub, Central Falls is now a proud “majority-minority” city — the only one in Rhode Island. Home to a thriving community of Latin American descent, including many recent immigrants, this “City for All People” celebrates its rich ethnic and cultural diversity. “Imagine 20,000 people living in a square mile,” says Alexander Parmenidez, a bilingual real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty who has been selling homes for a decade. “Mexican, Salvadorian, Columbian, Guatemalan — It’s a small city with a mix of flavors from different countries; that’s why it’s unique,” adds Parmenidez, who’s originally from Colombia. He says that in addition to being a family-oriented community, Central Falls is close to Interstate 95 for commutes to Boston and Providence and is very walkable. Though the state's smallest and least affluent municipality, Central Falls and its people, Parmenidez says, are resilient.

Local restaurants with authentic flavors
Latin American eateries dot Lonsdale Avenue and Dexter and Broad streets. At La Casona Restaurant, traditional Colombian cuisine is served in a spacious yet warm dining space accented by black and white tiling and wooden banisters. Just down the street is a newer restaurant making waves in the national food scene: Tuxpan Taqueria Mexican Kitchen. The small family-owned and operated restaurant recently became a James Beard semifinalist for Best New Restaurant. For dessert, residents can sample Colombian classics, including cheesy sweet corn arepas and Tres Leches cake at La Sorpresa Bakery. Or, they can head to the local fruit parlor, La Fruta Loca, for a refreshing Mexican-inspired treat. For everyday shopping essentials, residents rely on local Latin grocers and a handful of mom-and-pop convenience stores such as Compare Foods of Central Falls and Mi Pueblo Market. They can also shop small, hang out and try the local services housed in Still on Main in Pawtucket, a community and culture-focused shopping mall.

Multifamily and single-family options on walkable streets
Along the city’s dense gridded streets sit multifamily clapboard triple-deckers, some with stacked balconies. Sitting close together, these buildings make up most of the housing stock, constructed in the late 1800s through the early 1900s. With short setbacks, lots either have grassy backyards dotted by mature trees or paved parking. Parmenidez says these homes, while low in inventory statewide, are in high demand and are a popular choice for first-time homebuyers here. “Affordability is a big part of the equation. They are driven to buy multifamily, as two-thirds of the mortgage will be paid by future tenants,” he explains. Multifamily properties range in price from $300,000 to $750,000, based on size and condition. The largest collection of single-family homes can be found in the city’s north end. These 20th-century properties range from ranch-style homes with attached garages to compact Cape Cods, typically listing as low as $250,000 or upwards of $400,000. There are also condos and townhouses available from $215,000 to $250,000.

Riverside recreation and upgraded parks coming soon
The beautiful Blackstone River, which flows along Central Falls’ eastern boundary, once powered the city’s industry. Today, it remains a defining natural feature and a popular outdoor destination for locals and visitors alike. Central Falls Landing is a launch site for small boats, canoes and kayaks. From here, residents can paddle around the Valley Falls Pond or explore the marshy wetlands’ scenic side channels. Central Falls Dog Park gives pups a chance to run freely or play on the obstacle course. Children and teens frequent the Project GOAL futsal courts along Ledge Street. Meanwhile, families eagerly await renovations at Jenks Park, which will have a new playground and upgraded Cogswell Tower, a historic city landmark.

Bus or train to Boston and Providence
Central Falls has a large population without personal vehicles. To reach Boston, 45 miles away, and Downtown Providence, 7 miles away, commuters can head to the Pawtucket/Central Falls Transit Hub to take the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail or hop on a Rhode Island Public Transit Authority bus. City leaders publicly oppose proposed cuts to RIPTA funding, which they say will significantly impact Central Falls, reducing the number of bus routes serving the community by a third. For drivers, Interstate 95 is minutes from anywhere in the city. High Street and Roosevelt Avenue are marked with bike sharrows, a pavement marking that indicates a lane is shared between drivers and bicyclists, and connect to other bike-friendly routes outside the city. T.F. Green Airport is 15 miles southwest.

A dual language elementary school
Children here can start at one of three elementary schools, including Raíces Dual Language Academy. Earning a C-minus from Niche, the school teaches pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade students equally in English and Spanish, with the goal of them becoming both bilingual and bi-literate. Students can move on to Raíces Upper, which is in Calcutt Middle School, also receiving a C-minus rating. Teens can attend C-rated Central Falls High, where they can apply to the Real CTE Program, providing technical and career training across in-demand fields, such as computer science and biomedicine. The city is working on a comprehensive plan to improve city schools, starting with community feedback, and crews will soon break ground on the construction of a new Central Falls High at the Higginson Sports Complex, set to open in 2025. Rhode Island Alternative Academy, Blackstone Academy Charter School and St. Raphael Academy are nearby alternative and private school options.
