Historic Elmwood offers convenience and many Providence landmarks within reach
Stepping on the streets of Elmwood is like having a front-row seat to an architecture tour of Providence. The historic district, filled with tightly packed houses built mostly between 1845 and 1930, reflects the evolving architectural tastes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Jeffrey Infante, a 13-year real estate agent with the Divine Group of Century 21 Limitless, says, “There's been new construction in the area; most homes are older from the 1900s or so. A little area called the Historic District has lots of landmarks and attractions.”
