Blocks of pre-war homes make up most of Lower South Providence, but the neighborhood’s businesses, schools and community groups are what bring the it to life. “We provide free meals to kids every day. I’m always passing out flyers for new events to the parents and kids who peek their faces around the door,” says Edilberta Trejo, the youth services specialist at the South Providence Library. “The business community is very generous, six or seven of them always donate food for library events.” Only 2 miles from downtown Providence and bordered by Interstate 95, Lower South Providence is convenient to near and distant commuter hubs as well as the organizations who foster connection closer to home.

Dense blocks of 20th century homes
Throughout dense blocks of one- to three-story homes, early 1900s architectural styles range from bungalows and simple gable front two-stories to Dutch Colonial two-stories and Queen Anne designs, alongside a handful of newer construction which have filled vacant lots over the years. Single-family options sell for $200,000 to $400,000 depending on age of construction, square footage and renovation needs. Entire duplexes and two- or three-story multifamily homes built in equally varied styles sell for $200,000 to $600,000. While front yards are hard to come by, many properties have fenced in backyards, and all are connected by extensive sidewalks. Most Lower South Providence residents rent rather than own their homes.
