Established and new developments in north Cranston
From its hilly residential streets to plans for development in neighborhood schools, apartments and ponds, Laurel Hill retains a close-knit, midcentury suburban atmosphere amid updates to community amenities. “It’s a quiet suburb that was best known for the Cranston Print Works, which they’re trying to develop into apartments now,” says Robert Nero, chairman of the Pawtuxet River Authority and Watershed Council who grew up on Laurel Hill Avenue. “We’re working to create more passive recreation areas in these urban areas on a local level, like at Randall Pond.” Within 4 miles of downtown Providence, Laurel Hill offers an easy downtown commute on sloping, settled streets outside of city limits.

Long blocks of single and multifamily homes
Long blocks lined by spotty sidewalks, tidy pocket-sized lawns and the occasional shady tree run up and down hills on the eastern edge of Laurel Hill. Classic single-family home styles like Cape Cods and ranch-style homes sprouted up from the 1920s through 1950s, selling for $300,000 to $450,000. Rare new construction and multifamily homes, typically with two or three units, sell for $380,000 to $580,000. “People still live there because it’s home to them, but some of the ones who’ve moved away have become landlords for the old properties,” Nero says. Laurel Hill residents are currently evenly split between renters and homeowners.

Randall Pond and nearby parks
Anglers looking to catch largemouth bass or pickerels head to a small, little-known access point along Libera Street to get out on Randall Pond. “People can take a canoe down the bridge to the water, but we’re working on an observation area and expanded boat launch,” Nero says. “Randall Pond runs into Dyer Pond, but that’s not accessible because it’s in St. Ann’s Cemetery. People can walk around there when they open the gates, though.” For more green space, locals can hike the forested trails and enjoy the playground and athletic fields at the Neutaconkanut Hill Conservancy, which is about a mile north of the neighborhood.

Cranston Public Schools and Gladstone construction
Students may attend Arlington Elementary School which earns a C from Niche, followed by Bain Middle School which earns a C-plus and Cranston High School East which earns a B. Many students typically attend Gladstone Elementary School, but the district has demolished the old building to make room for a larger, open floor plan design set to open for the 2025-26 school year. In the interim, current Gladstone students attend school at either Barrows or Waterman schools, each several miles east of Laurel Hill.
Arlington Elementary School is a community of learners, in Cranston.
Hugh B. Bain Middle School is located in the Cranston Stadium neighborhood of Cranston.
Cranston High School East was founded in 1925 in Cranston, RI.

Dining down Dyer Avenue and nearby groceries
Along Dyer Avenue, residents drive past auto repair shops, a Family Dollar and a couple of strip malls housing small local restaurants and businesses like Emmanuel’s Bakery and Taqueria, known for serving authentic Latin American cuisines and stocking specialty goods. In a VFW building on Randall Street, Mike’s Kitchen serves Italian staples and family recipes to a devoted clientele. “Everyone goes to the Aldi off Cranston Street. There are big developments off Garfield Avenue, so people have Stop & Shop and Lowe’s,” Nero says. “For some of the more upscale shops you go to Garden City.” The two nearest grocery hubs are within a mile of Laurel Hill, and dozens of retailers and restaurants are about 3 miles away at Garden City Center. A couple of Catholic churches provide religious services within the neighborhood.
