Along the Seekonk River
Aging midcentury houses, medical offices and a waterfront fishing pier are some of the hallmarks of the gritty Pawtucket neighborhood of Beverage Hill-The Plains. This urban area with cracked sidewalks, chain-link fences and a paved walkway along the Seekonk River attracts first-time homebuyers with its relatively low prices and location near major highways. “You get a mixture of single- and multifamily homes, with some commercial buildings as well,” says Rosa Viveiros, an associate with RE/MAX River’s Edge in East Providence who worked with a Pawtucket agency for 30 years. Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island closed in the neighborhood in 2017, and the building still sits there today without a clear path forward.

A haven for first-time buyers in Pawtucket
Residential development in the neighborhood happened in the early to mid-20th century. Houses sit right next to each other on small lots. Most homes have driveways, but the roads are wide enough for street parking. Colonials can cost $400,000; bungalows can go for $330,000 and ranch-style houses can cost $350,000. The average home value is $344,419. “Pawtucket has always been a good city for first-time buyers, especially when prices in Massachusetts near the Boston area start to increase. The first thing we see is buyers coming down to Pawtucket,” Viveiros says.

Green space in the Ocean State
Beverage Hill-The Plains hugs the Seekonk River, a waterway formed from the industrial Blackstone River. The Blackstone is famous for powering Slater Mill, the first successful water-powered cotton factory in the U.S. and the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. Neighbors can enjoy the Seekonk at Festival Pier, a public boat ramp and park where people cast their lines over the railing. The park has a paved pathway for walking and several benches for relaxing. On the weekends, kids play baseball games in the neighborhood at Prospect Baseball Fields.

To Providence, Boston and the rest of New England
Beverage Hill-The Plains sits south of Interstate 95. Pawtucket sits on the Massachusetts border and directly north of East Providence. It takes about 10 minutes to drive from the neighborhood to the Pawtucket/Central Falls train station, where trains run into Boston. Downtown Providence is 6 miles south, and Boston is 46 miles north. The neighborhood’s affordability and easy commuter access make it attractive.
Continuing development across the Seekonk River
Across the Seekonk River, developers are building Tidewater Landing, a commercial project designed to be the second coming of Pawtucket. It includes commercial and residential development spanning hundreds of thousands of square feet and a USL Championship league soccer stadium. In 2020, Pawtucket lost its minor league baseball team, the Pawtucket Red Sox. Bringing in a soccer stadium is a way to fill that void. “Rhode Island in general has a large Portuguese and Hispanic population. Being Portuguese myself, I’m not into sports, but my husband constantly watches soccer,” Viveiros says. “It’s a good place for it because of the population.” Renderings for Tidewater Landing show plans for residences, a splash pad, a beer garden and a farmers’ market.
