Pawtucket neighborhood bordering the East Side

Sitting on Pawtucket’s southern border, Oak Hill is a neighborhood known for having similar amenities to the trendy East Side of Providence at a lower price point. “We’re the first neighborhood in Pawtucket, so we’re right next to the very desirable East Side,” says David Hasslinger, an Oak Hill resident of 40 years. “It's like East Side light for eds and meds wanting to be close to hospitals and Brown University.” Regardless of profession, Oak Hill provides residents with charming community events, trendy restaurants and quiet, tree-lined streets to call home 5 miles from downtown Providence.

Diverse single-family homes on dense streets

Dense residential streets branch from Pawtucket and East avenues, lined by single-family homes mostly built throughout the 20th century in styles ranging from basic bungalows and National gable-fronts to stately Colonial Revival two-stories. Simpler homes with little to no front lawn sitting close to their neighbors sell for $300,000 to $750,000, while homes with higher square footage, creative custom designs and more generous lawns can sell for $800,000 to $1.4 million. Condos in converted single-family homes or multi-family dwellings and townhouse communities sell for $220,000 to $350,000. While width and upkeep vary, sidewalks typically line at least one side of the street throughout the neighborhood, traversing long flat areas and steeper hills.

Shopping and dining along East Avenue

Individual storefronts and strip malls pop up throughout Oak Hill, like the Modern Diner, an iconic breakfast joint known for serving patrons in a Sterling Streamliner which was the first diner ever accepted to the National Register for Historic Places. Down the road, the Blackstone Place shopping plaza houses global cuisines from casual pizzeria standards to Indian favorites. “There are quite a few nice restaurants in the area. Garden Grille is one of the best vegetarian restaurants,” Hasslinger says. For groceries and essentials, locals can stop at CVS or the Vicente’s Market on Pawtucket Avenue. Religious services are held at the Congregation Ohawe Sholam synagogue and several churches standing just outside the neighborhood.

The Halloween Hootenanny Parade

On Halloween night, residents gather at the triangle park at Oak Hill and Raleigh avenues to kick off the Halloween Hootenanny Parade. “It’s a great little event, people come from all over and the parents get dressed up,” Hasslinger says. “There’s a marching band that comes in, and the city and the town will bring a firetruck.” Local business sponsors provide gift voucher prizes to the winners of costume contests judged by volunteer organizers.

Tom Duffy, Lippitt Park and soccer developments

To get active, locals can take their toddlers to the playground or hit the basketball and tennis courts at Tom Duffy Recreational Center. Residents often head just south of their neighborhood to Lippitt Park, a wide, grassy community park dotted with shady trees, park benches and a playground and hummingbird garden. “They have one of the best farmers markets on Saturdays from May through October,” Hasslinger says. “There’s a great selection of produce and food, but there’s also crafts and art vendors.” Locals are also looking forward to the completion of the Tidewater Landing Stadium between Taft Street and the Seekonk River, the future home of the Rhode Island FC professional soccer team slated to open in 2025.
