The domed Rhode Island State House is the neighborhood’s crown jewel, but its central location and abundance of multifamily homes, condos and cottages are why people live there.

Smith Hill is a wonderful neighborhood and so close to downtown. Close to schools, shopping and restaurants, yet quiet. Public transportation is everywhere, but so easy to walk to most things I need.
