Roger Williams Medical Center lies in the neighborhood's south side.
Elmhurst's offers quiet living and college access near downtown
Elmhurst is a northwest Providence community with a quiet atmosphere and a charming local business scene. Once primarily farmland, the area grew into a residential community in the early 20th century. Today, the neighborhood is home to Providence College, and residents enjoy walkable streets and easy access to Downtown Providence, around 2 miles away. Green space defines much of the neighborhood, with Pleasant Valley Parkway featuring a landscaped boulevard, a gentle stream and walking paths. Smith Street provides local businesses and a quick route to downtown amenities. The Gothic architecture and leafy campus of Providence College bring a collegiate energy to the area, while proximity to Roger Williams Medical Center adds to the area’s appeal.
Colonial Revivals are common in the area.
Mid-century Colonials and Cape Cods on tree-lined streets
Even with the presence of Providence College and the medical center, Elmhurst is a largely residential community. Colonial Revivals line the neighborhood’s streets, along with Cape Cods, ranch-style homes and Victorians. Most homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s, but some newer and more established houses can be found in the mix. Many have been updated over the years and move-in-ready options appear regularly on the market. “Buyers can get a lot of house for their money in that neighborhood,” says Jim DeRentis, a Realtor with Residential Properties Limited and a fourth-generation Providence native. “There are well-kept, modest homes on gridded, tree-lined streets. It's a comfortable area,” Single-family homes start in the high $200,000s and reach the mid-$800,000s, while multi-family properties with two-to-three units range from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$800,000s. With a median price of around $470,000, the area tends to be more affordable compared to east end neighborhoods like College Hill and Blackstone, which have medians of $790,000 and $1 million, respectively.
Lasalle Bakery is a community staple.
Bakeries, pizza and international bites in Elmhurst
The Elmhurst neighborhood has a mix of local eateries along Smith Street, with options ranging from bakeries and pizzerias to international cuisine. For a meal out, you can visit:
Zesty Bites, a Lebanese and pizza spot with shawarma, kabobs, mezza and New York-style slices
Newport Creamery, a Rhode Island chain known for its burgers and milkshakes
LaSalle Bakery, a long-standing bakery with fresh breads, pastries, sandwiches and custom cakes
“LaSalle Bakery is a very popular bakery with two locations in the neighborhood,” says DeRentis. Locals are also just 2 miles from Providence Place, a large indoor mall with over 150 shops and restaurants.
Nathanael Greene Middle School serves many local students.
Providence Public School District and school choice
Local students are served by the Providence Public School District, which operates a districtwide choice system where families rank preferred schools, including some magnet-style and specialized programs, and students are assigned through a lottery. Nearby schools include Robert F. Kennedy Elementary and Mount Pleasant High. Providence College is a private Catholic University that has been in the neighborhood since 1919, and its brick buildings, mature trees and open lawns serve as a backdrop of the community’s northeast end.
Fargnoli Park features a popular splash park.
Outdoor recreation close to home
When the weather is nice, Fargnoli Park is a popular spot to enjoy the outdoors. The park’s splash pad draws crowds during the summer months, in addition to the picnic areas, playground, baseball diamonds and basketball courts. Additionally, the public Triggs Memorial Golf Course lies just outside of the neighborhood. A short drive away, Neutaconkanut Hill Conservancy is a roughly 90-acre woodland with several miles of hiking trails and hilltop views of the city skyline.
Fargnoli Park hosts a handful of neighborhood events.
Seasonal events in and around the neighborhood
