Convenient city living in central East Providence
Carpenters Corner is an urban neighborhood in central East Providence, close to the Massachusetts border. At the crossroads of U.S. Route 41 and Pawtucket Avenue, close to stores, restaurants, parks and schools, it’s a uniquely convenient part of the city. “The convenience, that’s really the key feature of the area. Right where the roads merge, there’s plaza after plaza with all kinds of restaurants and businesses. It’s a highly sought-out area,” says Ed Marines, a RealPro by the Water associate broker with decades of experience in Rhode Island real estate.
Carpenters Corner, Rhode Island is at the intersection of two major commercial corridors.
Townies Feel Good Food is perhaps the finest sandwich, ribs, and pizza shops in the region.

A mix of single and multifamily homes
The grid-patterned streets are lined with closely spaced Cape Cod cottages, Craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revivals. Some are single-family homes, but many of the larger properties have been converted into duplexes, triplexes, even quadruplexes. Single-family home prices start close to $230,000 and go up to about $575,000, while multifamily homes sell for between $275,000 and $630,000. The median hovers around the $370,000 mark, below the city median. Close to half of residents rent rather than own, and many stay long-term. “Buyer retention is a factor in the market here. It takes a lot for people to let go of their property here, they don’t sell unless they have to for a job or some specific reason, so inventory is very, very low,” Marines says.
You can also find older colonials and bungalows in Carpenters Corner, Rhode Island.
