Dense coastal village along the Providence River
Quiet urban streets with coastal New England character stretch from Roger Williams Park to the banks of the Providence River in Edgewood. “There’s a lot of charm to living here, it’s walkable and there’s a small business district, and it’s quieter than places like College Hill,” says Barbara Rubine, president of the Edgewood Waterfront Preservation Association. “We have a public waterfront green space in the middle of this densely populated area.” Combining historic aesthetics with proximity to commuter highways, Edgewood connects residents to the urban amenities of Providence on quieter streets soundtracked by the gentle rush of the upper Narragansett Bay.

Charming historic architecture on walkable streets
Long blocks between connective roads house single-family homes built in countless styes from the mid-1800s through the mid-1900s, connected by narrow sidewalks and shaded by mature trees. Styles range from simpler bungalows, Cape Cods and American Foursquares to homes with charming historic details like Dutch Colonial roofs, wood shingle siding or rambling Queen Anne layouts. Most homes sell from $250,000 to 550,000, while grander offerings with upward of five bedrooms, backyard waterfront access or larger yards sell for $600,000 to $2.8 million. Condos in converted historic homes sell for $225,000 to $360,000. While many properties have narrow, private driveways, street parking is common.

From Narragansett Bay to Roger Williams Park
Although Edgewood is technically further north on the Providence River, what locals like most about their neighborhood is proximity to Narragansett Bay and the preserved salt marshes along Stillhouse Cove. “We work with the Cranston STEM program, so kids get to learn about organisms in the bay and get all wet and muddy,” Rubine says. “Every time I hear a bird fly by, I look to see if it’s the osprey pair that will use our nest this year.” Water quality has improved over the past few decades, increasing the number of kayaks and paddle boards joining motorboats and sailboats launching from the Edgewood and Rhode Island yacht clubs or Pawtuxet Marina, though swimming and shellfishing are still prohibited.
Inland, residents and their canine companions walk forested trails along the Pawtuxet River at Pawtuxet Oxboes Park. Just west of Edgewood, locals can launch swan boats into connected waterways, explore the zoo or natural history museum and planetarium, stroll through botanical gardens, and relax in the shade of the Temple to Music on the sprawling grounds of Roger Williams Park.

Pawtuxet Village events
On Saturday mornings from May through October, locals peruse tents set up in the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet parking lot, purchasing fresh produce, artisan goods and fish from local farmers and producers. Each summer, Gaspee Days celebrations on weekends throughout May and June draw tens of thousands to events from an arts festival and parade to a reenactment ship burning in Pawtuxet Cove.
The sheltered Ripta bus stop is conveniently located on Narragansett Ave in Edgewood.
Downtown Providence commuting and I-95
Residents can access RIPTA buses at stops along Broad Street and from Warwick Avenue to Narragansett Boulevard. Commuters are about 4 miles from downtown Providence, and Interstate-95 runs less than 2 miles west of the neighborhood. “You don’t have to get on 95 to get to the business district in the capital, and I’ve seen more people bicycling, but you can hop on the highway when you need it,” Rubine says.
Shopping and dining in Pawtuxet Village
On a stretch of Broad Street with a distinctive red-white-and-blue center line, a collection of small storefronts and restaurants forms the Pawtuxet Village business district. Between the historic Pawtuxet Baptist Church and bridge over the Pawtuxet River, locals can walk along wide, red brick sidewalks to Basta Italian Restaurant for classy date night ambiance or catch a live music performance next door at The Blue Room bar. Off Warwick Avenue, locals can pick up essentials at Walgreens, Stop & Shop and Shaw’s.

Coastal erosion and flooding potential
While homes in Edgewood don’t typically flood, those closest to the water are more prone to the effects of coastal erosion and elevated water levels following storm surges or events like Hurricane Sandy. “I’m aware of the problem because I work with erosion of public land on the shore, but other people are becoming more aware of the impact increased storms will have on daily life,” Rubine says.
