"A convenient middle ground"
Life in the Silver Lake neighborhood doesn’t include waterfront – in fact, the namesake lake was filled in at the turn of the century, but the moniker stayed. Today, it’s a dense and efficient neighborhood with a central location that draws residents who enjoy the proximity to the amenities of nearby areas. “It’s a convenient middle ground that makes it easy to commute to other parts of Providence,” said Herson Martinez, a realtor with RISE Real Estate Consultants who has worked in Providence for five years. Silver Lake is comprised primarily of residential homes, with a diverse array of restaurants and local markets that reflect its roots as an Italian-American neighborhood that has transformed into a Central American hub.

Compact streets with dense housing
The streets of Silver Lake are densely packed, with single-family homes interspersed with multifamily homes. Bay windows, front porches, and chain link fences are common; lawns are scarce, but many residences do have small garden spaces between the house and the sidewalk, providing a minor sense of privacy. Foursquare homes, some with Victorian-inspired features like turrets and pitched roofs, and arts and crafts bungalows are prevalent. The urban streets are laid out in a lopsided grid pattern, with side streets leaning back towards the primary thoroughfares of Pocasset and Laurel Hill avenues. Most 3-bedroom homes sell for between $300,000 and $350,000.
