Bishop Heights is a Johnston neighborhood off the beaten path
Bishop Heights, located in Johnston, is a secluded, quiet community that overflows with outdoor amenities. With stone walls along two-lane roads and a rich landscape due to surrounding parks and reservoirs, the community feels separate from Providence's city life about 10 miles away. “It’s a low-travel neighborhood,” says Greg Coupe, principal broker with Long Realty, Inc., who has 14 years of experience in the area. “It’s not a cut-through. Anyone who drives through Bishop Heights either lives there or is visiting someone who lives there.”
Several housing developments in Bishop Heights sit on the outskirts of Snake Den State Park.
Powder Mill Ledges is a popular place near Bishop Heights to go on a hike and birdwatch.

A residential area with spread-out homes and a heavy tree canopy
Homes are tucked between lush wood and along small hills. There’s dense foliage that, in the summer, shades the neighborhood in a canopy of green, and in the autumn, before the leaves fall and need raking, color the streets orange, yellow and red. There are also some subdivisions around Slack Reservoir and other places, with cul-de-sacs and well-maintained lawns. Most homes in Bishop Heights were built between the 1940s and 1970s. A ranch-style house or bungalow will cost buyers between $150,000 and $400,000. A larger home with colonial influences can run between $600,000 and $700,000 and might have access to water, depending on where in the neighborhood it’s located. “Buyers like this neighborhood because it’s in a country area,” says Coupe. “It’s more spread out and residential than cities or other parts of the state.”

Contemporary houses are prevalent in the many of the newer developments in Bishop Heights.

Snake Den State Park, Powder Mill Ledges refuge each span 100+ acres
Snake Den State Park is a largely undeveloped green space that spans 1,000 acres. There aren’t recreational facilities here, like playgrounds or fitness equipment; however, visitors can hike the park’s extensive trail system that meanders past the Pocasset River, through fields and farmland and over rocks. Slack Reservoir is a popular spot in the summer, with a private beach, Slack Pond Beach, for use by residents only. Locals love swimming in the reservoir or casting their lines to fish. Powder Mill Ledges Wildlife Refuge is a great spot for birding or snowshoeing. Home to 100 acres of woodland habitat, a fox or deer might run across one of the numerous hiking trails. The Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s administrative headquarters is within the refuge and hosts scheduled nature hikes, programs, lectures and events.
