Urban neighborhood home to Pawtucket’s creatives
Accessibility, walkability and community engagement are three things that come to Marlena Martins Stachowiak’s mind when she thinks about her hometown of Fairlawn. The city councilor and Re/Max Preferred Realtor says this Pawtucket village is home to “a thriving community of artists and great people who want to use public art to elevate the visual elements of the city.” This is exemplified by the neighborhood’s Lorraine Mills, a former mill building converted into a coworking space for artists, including the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative and Mixed Magic Theatre. In this community, there are nearly as many renters as there are homeowners enjoying convenient proximity to local shops and eateries, Interstate 95 and Downtown Providence, less than 5 miles away.
Lorraine Mills is where Fairlawn artists can work and enjoy creative community.

Clapboard triple-deckers to shotgun ranch-style homes
In the neighborhood’s northeast corner sits a large collection of multifamily homes ranging from large barn-like houses with gambrel roofs to clapboard triple-deckers built in the 19th and 20th centuries. Here, properties are close together with tiny front porches only a couple of steps from the sidewalk. Prices for these homes typically fall between $335,000 and $600,000. Fairlawn’s single-family homes, concentrated on its western side, have more space and yardage, with some front yards stretching to the street in lieu of sidewalks. According to Debbie Gold, a Rhode Island native and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, shotgun ranch-style homes are a quintessential Fairlawn dwelling. These long and narrow single-story houses share the streets with compact Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and a handful of two-story homes sporting Victorian-inspired turrets. Prices for these properties range from $240,000 to $500,000.

Outdoor recreation at Fairlawn Veterans Memorial Park
The 20-acre Fairlawn Veterans Memorial Park offers more than green space. It’s a community gathering place featuring tennis and basketball courts, ball fields and a playground. The wooded portion provides visitors with a natural escape, and the outdoor pool is a popular spot come summertime. Recently updated, the park now has a fenced Dog Park with obstacles and turf. For indoor recreation and plenty of fun, locals head to the R1 Indoor Karting Center, where they can rock climb, rent batting cages, suit up for paintball or race around in go-karts.
Residents can enjoy a game with friends on the courts at Fairlawn Memorial Park.

A high school for artists and performers
Children here can attend Nathanael Greene Elementary. Receiving a C grade from Niche, the school recently underwent a full-scale revitalization. “It’s an iconic building with amazing architecture. Instead of knocking down and rebuilding, they added modern amenities on the inside,” Stachowiak explains. Students can move on to Samuel Slater Middle, also with a C rating. Teens can attend the C-plus-rated Charles E. Shea High or audition for the Jacqueline M. Walsh School for the Performing & Visual Arts, given an A-minus from Niche. Nearby private and alternative options include Saint Raphael Academy and Blackstone Academy Charter School.

Beloved eateries serving diverse global cuisine
For traditional Colombian fare and custom cakes, locals head to Caprichos Antioquenos Bakery. “When you leave your home country, you always live by nostalgia,” says Alexander Parmenidez, a Colombian real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty, who has been selling homes in Rhode Island for a decade. He speaks fondly of the bakery that’s been in the community for more than 40 years. “The owner sadly passed away a few years ago. He was a pioneer,” Parmenidez adds. La Arepa serves Venezuelan dishes in casual digs, while Shish Kabob is the spot for Persian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Another neighborhood staple is Miss Loraine Diner, a retro train car diner with red leather upholstery and cozy wooden booths. Foolproof Brewing Company is the local watering hole with its wide selection of local lagers, stouts and IPAs. Residents stock up on everyday essentials at Stop & Shop, the International Meat Market and the Walmart in Charles.
