Home is where you make it in Park View
The banks of the Pawtuxet River
With expansive green spaces in almost every corner, Park View lives up to its name. This peaceful Cranston neighborhood is convenient for commuters. The winding Pawtuxet River brings a touch of wilderness to its otherwise suburban streetscapes. The west side bordering Interstate 95 is an industrial area getting its second life. “Some of the old mills have been repurposed and we’re seeing a revival,” says Rachel McNally, Realtor with Century 21 Shoreline Properties and a resident of Cranston. “It’s also home to fraternal organizations, like the Cranston Portuguese Club.”
Victorian homes with off-street parking and shady trees line the streets in Park View
Cape Cods in the Ocean State
Most single-family homes in Park View are one-story tall. Two-story colonials divide into multifamily housing. Home styles range from low-lying ranch-style houses and modest bungalows with decorative window awnings to red brick Cape Cods and cozy A-frame cottages. Properties include private driveways, neatly landscaped front yards and grassy back yards concealed by privacy fencing. Housing inventory remains low in the neighborhood. Most homes sell for between $300,000 and $500,000.
Elizabeth's Portofino Tuscan Grill serves many Italian delicacies in Park View
Calvitto's Pizza and the Pub on Park
The neighborhood is home to several eateries serving Italian cuisine. Calvitto’s Pizza and Bakery makes a mean calzone, and nearby Elizabeth’s Portofino offers Tuscan fare in an elegant setting. For a night on the town, locals head to Buttonwoods Brewery, an eclectic industrial spot offering a wide selection of local beers and retro arcade games. Then, after they’ve beaten the high score, people head over to Pub on Park, the local watering hole and live music venue. Residents of Park View are well-equipped with familiar retailers like Stop & Shop, Price Rite and Shaw’s. Walmart sits just 2 miles south of the neighborhood.
Park View Middle School keeps a tradition of excellence alive
Stellar Cranston Public Schools
Kids in Park View can attend school through the Cranston Public School District. The school system is investing in its facilities, bringing them up to 21st-century standards. “It’s an amazing opportunity that people are moving to Cranston for, 100 percent,” McNally says. Near the neighborhood is William Dutemple Elementary School, which has a B-minus rating from Niche. Park View Middle School, which also scores a B-minus, sits within the neighborhood. The closest high school is Cranston High School East, which earns a B. After the last bell at Park View, middle school students can skip across the street to the local athletic complex to kick around the soccer ball or practice their serves on the outdoor tennis court. “The middle school has a nice track and ballfield that’s open to the public,” McNally says.
In Belmont Park the Pawtuxet River winds its way along the trails
The many parks of Park View
Just south of the neighborhood, cradled by the river bend of the Pawtuxet, sits Belmont Park, which features a forested trail walk, sports fields and shady maple trees. Neighbors stroll on the boardwalk trails at Pawtuxet Oboes Park, home to paddling wood ducks and wooden bridges over burbling creeks. Local anglers fish for largemouth bass and chain pickerel at Fenner Pond. On the north side of Park View is the iconic Roger Williams Park, a sprawling 430-acre green space with an elaborate system of gleaming lakes. Neighbors can cruise the waters in a rented swan boat, bask in the sunlight on grassy hills, visit the botanical center’s collection of carnivorous plants or get lost in the blooming rose maze come summertime. “There’s a zoo there too, which is definitely a draw,” McNally continues. “They do food truck nights every Friday in the summer at the carousel.”
Five miles from Providence
Driving is the main form of transportation here, although bus routes are available via the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority. For more urban amenities and entertainment, Providence, the state’s bustling capital city, is 5 miles away, or about a 10-minute drive.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
