Knightsville offers traditional suburban living in Cranston
Knightsville has a long history in the Cranston area, but it really took off as a suburb in the 1950s. Part of its enduring appeal has been the strong Italian influence, which you can see in the local eateries and the week-long Feast of Saint Mary held every July. But there’s an additional factor that people like: Knightsville is highly stable, with houses often getting passed down through the generations. Serena Gendron, team manager at Homesmart professionals, notes that a strong sense of community is helpful for understanding the neighborhoods of Cranston. “It’s got a great school system. It was named one of the top 25 safest cities in the United States, which is also really awesome.” Knightsville has the kind of tightknit atmosphere associated with yesteryear, but you can still find it alive and well today.
Residents in Knightsville enjoy daily exercise along paved sidewalks and peaceful blocks.

With houses being passed down through relatives, it can be a challenge finding properties for sale – but that just makes the finds more rewarding. For example, you can find a three-bedroom Cape Cod with interior updates and a fenced backyard. Prices begin in the upper $300,000s. The setting feels like old school suburbia, with wide residential streets curving past schools and small businesses.
