Historic industrial neighborhood of Pleasant View
Just east of Interstate 95 in Pawtucket, Pleasant View is a community that reflects its industrial roots. Pawtucket was initially settled as an industrial mill town, and the Pleasant View neighborhood still holds onto its heritage with historic buildings that have been meticulously renovated and converted to housing or schools. In the past, it has been written off as an underserved city, but it is experiencing a resurgence as commuters recognize the central location and low cost of living. “The location is convenient, but the taxes are lower and housing is more affordable,” says Barbara Zdravesky, board president of The Heritage Alliance of Pawtucket. “The highway makes it very accessible and very easy to get to Boston or the greater Providence area.”
Condos, apartments and single-family homes dot Pleasant View's map
The Pleasant View neighborhood offers a mix of multi-family dwellings like condos and refurbished historic homes. Former textile mills have been renovated into apartments, to bring some of the neighborhood’s history into the contemporary period. As an urban neighborhood, yards are limited and fences are often chain link. Streetlights provide some visibility over the sidewalks, which connect the neighborhood with surrounding bustling areas. A historic 4-bedroom home may sell for $500,000, while a smaller 3-bedroom ranch can be purchased for under $300,000.

Getting outside in Pleasant View
The biggest driver of outdoor recreation in Pawtucket is the Blackstone River, and the Festival Pier 2 miles south of the heart of the neighborhood provides a boat launch. Festival Pier is also the site of the annual Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival, where residents race in fiberglass Taiwanese-style dragon boats and enjoy cultural performances and a dumpling-eating contest. Slater Memorial Park, located 2.5 miles east of the neighborhood, has playgrounds, soccer fields, walking trails and a dog park. The Burbage Theater Company, located just west of the Pleasant View neighborhood along the Blackstone River, puts on plays with local actors and offers volunteer opportunities for theater enthusiasts.

Getting around Pleasant View
The Pawtucket-Central Falls Commuter Rail Station, which opened in January 2023, is about 1.5 miles from Pleasant View and connects riders to Boston within a 68-minute train ride and Providence within 15 minutes. The neighborhood is right along Interstate 95, making it easy for residents to access Providence to the south or Boston to the north if they prefer to drive. Getting around Pawtucket is a little more challenging. The #1 bus line runs up and down Broadway, through the center of Pleasant View, but the scant number of busses means it’s not always convenient. “You do need a car to get around,” Zdravesky says. “There is public transit, but it’s underfunded and ridership is low.”
