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.”

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 more generally you’ll find Woodlawn properties in the mid $400,000s. Cape Cods and Victorians are prevalent. For example, look for 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.

Nathanael Greene Elementary is located next to Fairlawn Veterans Memorial Park, and enrolls around 400 students in grades K-5. The student-teacher ratio is 14 to 1, helping the school to receive a B from Niche in the teachers category. Samuel Slater Middle steps up the student population, with nearly 700 enrolled in grades 6-8. But it’s able to maintain a 14 to 1 student-teacher ratio, and it earned a B from Niche in the teachers category. Shea High is the largest school in the local pipeline, with roughly 950 students in grades 9-12. The school received a B-minus from Niche in the teachers category, and is locally known for its bold Art Deco architecture.

For outdoor fun, residents play in Payne Park, a triangular parcel wedged between homes. There are basketball courts, splash pad amenities and playground facilities, plus plenty of grassy space and paths to walk on. You can also hop over to Fairlawn Veterans Memorial Park, a 20-acre space where the community meets to swim, stroll the shaded lawns or play ball of various sorts.

Main Street is an entertainment destination, with eateries like 10 Rock Tapas Bar, which serves colorful dishes like flat bread pizza topped with fruits and veggies. After a bite to eat, catch a national music act by heading to The Met, which opened in 1975. For a blast from the past, visit the Electromagnetic Pinball Museum, where you can play 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.

With a splash of color, Woodlawn has its sights set on growth.
