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.”

Most homes sell for between $300,000 and $500,000.

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.
