Renters, college kids and owner-occupants live in this Providence neighborhood, which benefits from its location near major highways and the Providence River. “It’s mostly single-family homes, and, since it’s closer to Johnson & Wales University, it has a younger crowd,” says Rhode Island Realtor Albert Hajdaraj. “It’s the college scene.”
