A historic mill town-turned-neighborhood

In East Providence’s Rumford region, Phillipsdale was a busy industrial district from the early 1880s to the late 1950s. It was home to manufacturers like the Richmond Paper Company, American Electrical Works and Glenlyon Bleacheries, which surrounded a small millpond east of the Seekonk River. The old mill and manufacturing buildings have been renovated into Phillipsdale Landing, a modern commercial complex. “It’s very similar to other old New England mill towns, with the riverfront factory buildings and the traditional housing fanning out behind,” says Realtor Jeffrey Mateus of Mateus Realty, who has over a decade of local real estate experience. “A lot of those buildings have been well-preserved, so what’s here today is your classic coastal New England neighborhood.”

Late 19th-century homes to 2020s construction

Multi-family Colonial Revivals built in the 1890s are common, as are single-family Cape Cods, split-level and ranch-style homes built between the 1930s and 1970s. Early 2000s condo buildings line some of the busier streets, like Roger Williams Avenue. The Riverfront Estates at East Point development features condos and single-family homes built in the 2020s. With muted sea-colored shingle siding and traditional coastal cottage architecture, even the 21st-century builds fit Phillipsdale’s historic Rhode Island aesthetic. Condo prices range from $270,000 to $360,000. Single-family homes start at around $320,000 and quickly rise to $950,000. Individual units within multi-family homes typically sell in the condo range, while whole multi-family homes tend to fall on the higher end of the single-family range. Riverfront Estates homes with water views usually list for over $1 million.

Bus routes, Interstate 195 connect East Providence to Providence

RIPTA buses pick up from stops on Wilson Avenue, providing rides around East Providence and to Providence. Major stops include Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, about 5 miles away. Driving to the state capital takes less than 20 minutes via Interstate 195 across Washington Bridge. Mateus says bridge traffic is usually heavy, so getting across during rush hour can sometimes take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Locals can bypass the traffic by taking Henderson Bridge across the river instead.
