Pawtucket’s industrial-chic urban core
Downtown Pawtucket is the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, thanks to Samuel Slater opening the country’s first water-powered cotton spinning mill here in 1793. Pawtucket was a quiet village of craftspeople for 122 years before the mill opened, but the city and its center quickly became a humming industrial hub afterward. Slater Mill stopped spinning in 1920, ending Downtown’s mill neighborhood era. Today, Pawtucket’s urban core is a walkable business district known for its locally owned restaurants and retailers, sports stadiums and artsy-historic atmosphere. Re/Max Innovations Realtor Samuel Alba, a Rhode Island local with more than 14 years of real estate experience, says Downtown Pawtucket is the center of the city's growth at the moment, with a new professional soccer stadium under construction and an increasing number of mom-and-pop shops and restaurants. "Pawtucket is less of a suburb and more of an extension of Providence," Alba says, referring to Rhode Island's capital city, immediately south. "But Downtown Pawtucket is developing its own, distinct, atmosphere."

City center multifamily and condo living
Downtown Pawtucket’s housing stock is mostly made up of large Colonial Revivals built as single-family homes between the 1880s and 1920s, then converted into multifamily homes in the late 1900s and early 2000s. Sales prices tend to run anywhere from $229,900 to nearly $800,000. Realtor Robert Rutley of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, who has nearly 10 years of experience in the local market, says there are also some “attractive loft buildings” downtown, including condos in converted factory buildings. Condo units sell for between $185,000 and $435,000, while whole buildings can range between $685,000 and $1.1 million. Rutley observes that prices in Pawtucket are lower than in surrounding cities like Providence. “As people merge out to neighborhoods that are adjacent to Providence because of the price differential, I think Pawtucket has great value and great opportunities, even for people in the Boston market,” he says.

Arts, history and stadiums for rec and pro sports teams
The Providence Hockey Club Capitals, both youth and adult teams, play at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Downtown Pawtucket. The arena is also open to the public periodically for hockey and skating. Participants in the open hockey times must be at least 14 years old. The United Soccer League’s Rhode Island FC will soon play home games at the Stadium at Tidewater Landing, a 10,000-seat soccer pitch under construction on the riverfront south of Downtown. Alba notes that Pawtucketers are excited about the new pro-soccer stadium, especially after losing the PawSox, the city’s former minor league baseball team now based in Worcester, Massachusetts. “They’re ready for a pro team again,” he says. The Blackstone Valley Visitor Center is also on the river. Beyond housing the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council offices, the visitor center has local business brochures, history exhibits, a gallery and a gift shop. The Old Slater Mill still stands nearby; today, it’s a National Historic Landmark, open for tours. The visitor center and mill are on Roosevelt Avenue, where the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade takes place each March. Empanada Fest is a block party-type food festival on Roosevelt Avenue and Main Street in late August every year. It’s part of the days-long Pawtucket Arts Festival, an annual celebration of theatre, film, visual, folk-traditional, dance and music. Arts Fest events are spread all over the city, but Downtown often hosts gallery tours, street performances and art installations.
