Darlington’s evolution from farmland to factory town
A sizeable neighborhood on the east side of Pawtucket, Darlington’s development traces the outlines of the history of New England as a whole. “Darlington and everything east of the Blackstone River used to be part of Massachusetts,” says Barbara Zdravesky, the president of the board of the Heritage Alliance of Pawtucket. “It was mostly plains, and it was part of the farming settlement of Rehoboth. Then, the railroad and factories moved in, and the area’s population grew. They named the railroad station after Edwin Darling, a power player in those days, and the name stuck.” Darlington’s past is apparent in the neighborhood’s homes, businesses and parks.

Homes with New England charm
Darlington’s patchwork street grid is one facet of its long history, and many of its homes are also a record of that past. Most of its Cape Cod or saltbox-style single-family houses were built in the early 20th century, though many have been renovated. These sell from the low-$200,000s through the mid-$400,000s. Closer to the Ten Mile River are the Countryside and Pinecrest developments, which feature more space and larger houses that cost as much as $650,000. “Once you move into one of those houses, you don’t move again,” Zdravesky says. Multifamily homes, many in Queen Anne-inspired style, cluster the main streets such as Newport Avenue and Armistice Boulevard and are generally for rent rather than purchase.

Neighborhood favorites on Newport Avenue
Newport Avenue is the heart of the neighborhood, and businesses line the streets. There are plenty of local restaurants, one of the most popular being Uncle Tony’s Pizza & Pasta. “I’ve been going to Uncle Tony’s for a long time, and it’s a really popular place for locals,” Zdravesky says. “They had kind of outgrown their building, so they recently moved into a bigger place that used to be a car dealership.” Another local favorite is Central Ave Bakery, which has been preparing Portuguese pastries and bread since 1981. For groceries and other essentials, a Stop & Shop is located on the northwest side of the neighborhood.
