Wooded lots and apple-picking just 15 miles from Providence
Arnold Mills isn’t the average suburb. The community features farms and apple orchards less than 15 miles from major metropolitan centers. This little nook in the northeast corner of Rhode Island where it meets the Massachusetts border, was first settled in 1734 as a mill village. Nowadays, it consists largely of families and commuters to Providence, Attleboro and Boston, but the neighborhood still has a laidback, almost rural vibe. “It’s got the feel of a small town where everyone is friendly and nice, while also being close to major cities,” says Tricia Coury, Realtor with The Coury Team. She and her family live in the neighborhood, and she loves the benefits Arnold Mills affords its residents. “People here feel like they’re truly in a tight community with their neighbors, but it's still very close to Providence and only 40 minutes to the Boston area.” Shopping centers are close by, with access to Interstate 295 in the neighborhood making for straightforward travel.

Apple-picking at Phantom Farms, plus wineries and breweries
The shopping and dining in Arnold Mills skew more rural than most densely populated suburbs. Residents are just down the street from Phantom Farms, a tucked-away apple orchard that’s been baking up its famous apple muffins and pies since 1950. “It’s a beloved attraction in Arnold Mills,” Coury says. “They have pumpkin and apple picking, but also amazing meals and pastries.” The farm is just down the street from Diamond Hill Vineyards, a family owned winery where patrons can sample wine flights on the front porch of an old farmhouse. Those who prefer draft pints head down to Ravenous Brewing Company, which occupies a rustic industrial space with food trucks parked out back. Stores such as Target, Lowe’s Home Improvement and Walmart Supercenter are 5 miles across the Massachusetts border near Emerald Square Mall. Groceries are even closer at Dave’s Fresh Marketplace in Cumberland.
