Large lots with meticulous lawns
Strolling through Comstock Gardens, it’s easy to see where the latter part of the neighborhood name comes from. Lawns are meticulously kept, with thick green grass carpeting the vast front yards between the Colonial-style homes and the curbs. Shrubs planted in orderly rows provide privacy for many homes, while other residents rely on wooden fences. “It’s really that classic suburbia,” says Gina Howarth with RE/MAX 1st Choice, who has been working in the Cranston area for 20 years. “The lots are almost all half-acres, with bigger yards, and bigger, newer homes.”
Homes in Comstock Gardens come with plenty of green space and breathing room from neighbors.

The area is home to a number of planned developments, with one single entry point from the main road and streets that twist into cul-de-sacs – the kind of neighborhood where children can ride their bikes without worrying about excessive traffic.
