Why Providence buyers choose Blackstone
Blackstone is a well-established northeast Providence neighborhood known for its quiet atmosphere and mature tree cover. Less than 3 miles from Downtown Providence, the area features charming historical homes and walkable streets that lead to parks, schools and local businesses. The community began to develop around Blackstone Boulevard in the 1890s, and the boulevard is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood’s east end borders the Seekonk River, with the Blackstone Park Conservation District offering recreation close to home. Public transit options and easy access to Boston add to the neighborhood’s appeal.
The area has a wide variety of 20th century architecture.
Century-old Victorians and multi-family homes
Blackstone features a mix of single-family homes and two- and three-family properties typical of Providence's east side. Most homes in the area were built between 1900 and the late 1930s, with some mid-century builds throughout. Victorian homes line Blackstone Boulevard with period detailing and multi-level layouts, while you’ll find Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revivals and custom-built homes along the surrounding streets. Many houses feature spacious, fenced-in backyards and off-street parking, with the occasional in-ground pool. Single-family homes start in the low $700,000s and reach around $4.3 million, with townhouses and condos ranging from the low $300,000s to the mid-$900,000s. Two-to-three-family investment properties can also be found in the mix and can fetch anywhere from the high $600,000s to $1.4 million.
