Woodlawn is a thriving community full of unique amenities

Woodlawn is where the action is: from hip eateries to the Electromagnetic Pinball Museum, there’s no shortage of creativity and history to dive into. Yvonne Sousa, a Realtor with RISE Real Estate Consultants, points out that this area has always been a hotbed of activity. “Taking its name from the Algonquin word meaning ‘river falls,’ Pawtucket was one of the most populated communities before the arrival of the Europeans. Today, Pawtucket is a bustling town of almost 76,000 people, as well as home to some of the state’s most interesting locations.” With a splash of color, Woodlawn has its sights set on growth.

Historic properties maintain their vintage charm

Between Route 1 to the east and Interstate 95 to the west, there’s a tight grid of homes that make up Woodlawn. Prices can start in the low $300,000s and extend to the mid $500,000s, but most Woodlawn properties fall in the mid $400,000s. Cape Cods and Victorians are prevalent, including turn-of-the-century Victorians that spread three bedrooms across 2,300 square feet. Often, period details are preserved, such as original woodwork and built-in shelving. Yards can sometimes be fenced, but this isn’t a completely remote suburban feel – there’s still a bit of an urban edge to Woodlawn.

Main Street businesses, venues and museums

Main Street is an entertainment destination, featuring eateries like 10 Rock Tapas Bar, which serves colorful dishes, such as flatbread pizza topped with fruits and vegetables. After a bite to eat, visitors can catch a national music act by heading to The Met, which opened in 1975. For a blast from the past, the Electromagnetic Pinball Museum has some of the most vintage and obscure pinball games ever manufactured. The museum is part of the Creative Commerce Center, an initiative to revitalize Woodlawn. Inside, you’ll also find a 5,000 square foot skate park, a yoga studio and Smoke & Squeal, a popular local BBQ business. You can’t miss the bright mural decorating the outside of the building.
