The Japanese Garden at Roger Williams Park
River access and historic character in Washington Park
Washington Park sits in southeastern Providence, where city living meets coastal access and abundant green space. The neighborhood developed alongside the expansion of the city's park system in the late 19th century, and that connection to the outdoors remains a defining trait of the community today. On the eastern edge of the neighborhood, you can find the Providence River and distant views of Narragansett Bay. Residential streets feature a mix of single-family homes and multifamily investment properties built in the early 20th century. Between the waterfront, nearby parkland and local gathering spots like the Washington Park Community Center, the neighborhood balances outdoor access with everyday convenience in a way that few other parts of Providence can match.
Victorian inspired homes are common in the area.
1930s Colonials, bungalows and multi-family homes
In Washington Park, you’ll find Colonial Revivals, Federal-style homes, Victorians and bungalows lining the streets, along with some double- and triple-deckers in the mix. Many houses were built between 1900 and the 1930s, and details from that era are common, including hardwood floors, covered front porches and classic trim work. While homes sit close together, many feature fenced-in backyards with enough room for a patio or a small garden. Single-family homes start in the high $200,000s and reach the high $400,000s, while two and three-unit properties range from the mid-$400,000s to the low $700,000s. The neighborhood has a median home price of around $410,000, making it a bit less affordable than neighborhoods like Lower South Providence and Elmwood, which have medians of around $370,000 and $360,000, respectively.
Casa Azul Taquería is a popular eatery in Washington Park.
Local eats and shopping in Washington Park
The area features an array of locally owned restaurants and shops around Broad Street and Narragansett Boulevard. “Providence maintains an independent, entrepreneurial spirit, so residents prefer to support local restaurants in the area,” says Jim DeRentis, a Realtor with Residential Properties Limited and a fourth-generation Providence native. Local businesses include:
Casa Azul Taquería, a family-owned spot serving birria tacos and craft margaritas
Brass Monkey, a laid-back bar and grill with a creative menu and extensive drink selection
La Mami Restaurant, a Caribbean and Latin American restaurant with stews, fried chicken and other specialties
Liberato Meat Market, a neighborhood market carrying fresh meats and grocery staples
For more shopping, you can visit nearby Providence Place, an indoor mall with over 150 shops and restaurants around 4 miles north.

Additionally, Brown University is around 3 miles north, while Providence College is roughly 6 miles northwest.

My parents moved me here when I was three, and I still live here. People aren't extremely friendly, but they don't bother you either.

The houses are one family houses. They are nice quality, but they are almost a century old, if not ever the century. Because I live on the Cranston/ Providence city line, the Cranston section is a little nicer.
