The Village neighborhood offers access to Providence
Village is a residential Rhode Island community on the outskirts of Providence. The long-dormant Cranston Print Works lies on the west side, and the neighborhood’s history is reflected in its century-old homes. Village housed many workers during the textile mill’s prime in the 1900s. Today, plans are in place to convert the spaces into apartments and storage units. “The Cranston Print Works is a big revitalization for that area, so they’re working to bring that up,” says Rachel McNally, a Realtor with Real Broker LLC.
Village also offers easy access to the general Providence area, ranging from eclectic dining spots to other Cranston landmarks. “It has the same kind of Italian-American roots that a lot of parts of Cranston have,” says Matthew Patty, a real estate broker with Real Broker LLC and the founder of Real Vision Properties. “There are a lot of great little pubs and homey restaurants. It’s close to a lot of the stuff that a lot of people like to do in Cranston … and you’re going to see a slightly better bang for your buck on real estate prices over there.”
Some Village blocks feature deeper front yards and mature trees.
Village sits less than 5 miles from downtown Providence.

Century-old homes line Rhode Island streets
The Village neighborhood is mostly residential, with single-family and multi-family homes along gridded streets lined with sidewalks. “There are a lot of single-family homes, but also a lot of older homes that are the duplex mill-home style,” McNally says. Most homes, particularly the duplexes, were built before 1925 and had ties to the mill industry. Single-family homes are often ranch-style properties or bungalows. Both housing styles typically sell for between $350,000 and $600,000.
Multifamily homes from the mill era remain prevalent in Village.
