Close-knit community
Once home to a textile mill and a stone quarry, Graniteville today is a suburban neighborhood that nevertheless stays connected to its past. This village of the town of Johnston hosts a park that was first enjoyed by residents more than a century ago, as well as a museum maintained by the Johnston Historical Society. Meanwhile, houses are packed into dense residential pockets scattered across the 4-mile-wide neighborhood. But that’s not a downside for residents such as Keith Graziano. Graziano, who works in the local food industry, says one of the highlights of the neighborhood is frequently seeing neighbors out doing yard work, bringing up opportunities to chat. Graziano adds that neighbors are quick to help each other clear snow in the winter. “It’s a typical Rhode Island town where the neighbors are really close and look out for one another.”
New England styles are predominent
The homes in Graniteville’s subdivisions showcase classic New England architectural styles, namely Cape Cods and colonials. Stone walls encircle gardens and tidy yards squeezed on residential lots, with a median size of a fifth of an acre. Price tags for two-bedroom homes begin in the mid-$200,000s, while three-bedroom houses are likely to be priced in the low to mid-$400,000s. A four-bedroom home perched on a full acre may cost more than $600,000. With less than a month of inventory on the market, homebuyers should expect to see limited options when searching in Graniteville.
Cape Cod style houses can be found all over Graniteville.

10-1 student-teacher ration at elementary school
Nearly the entire neighborhood lies within the Johnston Public School District. Sarah Dyer Barnes Elementary School is the most likely starting point for children; graded a B-minus by Niche, the school that sits less than half a mile outside the neighborhood is made up of 300 students but boasts a 10-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio, much lower than the national average. Kids between sixth and eighth grades may head about a mile south of Graniteville to take classes at Nicholas A. Ferri Middle School. That campus is across the street from the district’s sole high school, Johnston Senior High. Both the middle and high schools earn Niche grades of B-minus.
Cricket field is a popular destination
More than 100 years ago, Johnston mill workers played games of cricket in a field on the Woonasquatucket River. The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council revitalized the field in the 2010s, transforming it into Cricket Field. Locals walk the park’s trail, which offers views of the river. Kayakers and canoers utilize the boat launch to slip into the water and paddle to the islands and inlets up the river. Graniteville doesn’t have many sports facilities, but the Johnston Parks and Recreation Department complex, 2 miles south of the neighborhood, runs youth and adult leagues for sports, including soccer, softball and volleyball. It’s a popular amenity in town, says Anchored Oak Realty Principal Broker Jesse Andrews, who has sold real estate in the region for a decade. “The rec leagues are huge in Johnston.”

A celebration of apples
On the same site as the recreation center is Johnston Memorial Park, the community’s go-to spot for events. The Annual Apple Festival has welcomed the fall season to Johnston since the ‘80s. During the event, Johnston Memorial Park hosts a row of artisan booths, while kids saddle up for pony rides. The festival is free, but attendees often show up with spending money, ready to sample the apple cider donuts, apple pies and warm cider on sale. New traditions are born in the park as well; the city in 2023 debuted Tasty Tuesdays, bringing different food trucks to the park once a week during the summer.
Dining options abound
Key thoroughfares such as Putnam Pike and George Waterman Road cut through Graniteville, putting an assortment of shops and eateries a short drive away from residents. For a “small diner feel,” Graziano recommends Cherry Hill Grille & Pub. The restaurant acts as a breakfast diner in the mornings, serving omelets to coffee-sipping customers in booths. In the evenings the bar opens, and the kitchen whips up dinner entrees including pork cutlets and fried clams. Down the street, sweet tooths are satisfied by Glaze‘N Daze Donuts’ apple fritters, cinnamon rolls and, of course, doughnuts. The neighborhood borders a shopping center anchored by Target, The Home Depot and Kohl’s.

Bus gets residents to Providence in 30 minutes
Several bus stops border Putnam Pike on Graniteville’s north side, so locals can catch a Rhode Island Public Transit Authority bus and reach Providence in roughly 30 minutes. Those who prefer to take their own cars can cruise on Putnam Pike or the Dennis J. Roberts Expressway to reach Providence, slightly less than a 10-mile drive. Meanwhile, it’s less than 15 miles to Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport in Warwick. Not only is that the state’s busiest airport, but it houses a light rail station that connects to Boston.
Historical society takes visitors back in time
Graniteville, and the surrounding town of Johnston, have evolved from its days as a granite quarry and mill town more than 200 years ago. However, that past lives on at the Johnston Historical Society, housed in two 19th-century-style buildings in the neighborhood. The historical society consists of a colonial-style farmhouse built in 1825 and a contemporary structure built to resemble a barn from the same era. Both serve as museums, displaying artifacts from the town’s two and half centuries of history.
The Johnston Historical Society has a building with historical artifacts from the area.
