Wayland residents have easy access to many retail and dining options.
Walkable Providence neighborhood with popular local shops and restaurants
Overlooking the Seekonk River, residents of the Wayland neighborhood love walking to their favorite local shops and restaurants. “It’s one of the most popular neighborhoods on the East Side because of the proximity and walking access to Blackstone Boulevard,” says Jim DeRentis, fourth-generation Providence native and Realtor at Residential Properties. “It’s a mix of folks, from young singles who find their first apartment there, all the way to folks who’ve been there for forty of fifty years. You’re going to see lots of baby strollers, lots of people running and bicycling, and you see all age groups interacting in Wayland.”
Local restaurants include L’Artisan Cafe & Bakery and Mare Rooftop
“People in the neighborhood mostly like those independent restaurants that have popped up,” DeRentis says. L’Artisan Cafe & Bakery on Wayland Avenue serves sandwiches and coffees to pair with its decadent desserts. Mare Rooftop, located on Waterman Street, has a contemporary, glass-covered terrace and outside deck offering 360-degree views of Providence and the Seekonk River. Its menu offerings include local oysters and other seafood options, as well as pastas and pizza. “You can walk to Whole Foods, Eastside Marketplace and these wine shops people really like. It’s got something for everybody,” DeRentis says. Locals can find cheeses and other charcuterie staples to pair with their wine at East Side Cheese & Provisions.
Welcome to L'artisan Cafe and Bakery in Wayland Square.

Locals convene at Wayland Square and L’Artisan
Wayland has several popular spots for residents to convene: “L’Artisan has a big outdoor patio which is a central meeting point. That’s a congregation point for your running club, rowing club, book club; it’s an active neighborhood,” DeRentis says. “And people love to be clustered around Wayland Square. It’s a highly sought-after retail node.” Neighborhood foodies also enjoy participating in Providence Restaurant Weeks. During mid-January and mid-July, restaurant-goers enjoy two weeks of fine dining at discounted rates at participating eateries.
Enjoy the atmosphere at L'artisan Cafe and Bakery in Wayland Square.

Large single-family homes are available in Wayland.
Well-maintained and renovated homes built in the 19th century
“The neighborhood was widely developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it’s well preserved and well maintained,” DeRentis says. Historic homes in the neighborhood include Colonial Revivals and Queen Annes, among others, and come in single- and multi-family accommodations. The neighborhood also has condominiums and apartments in similar styles. A two-bedroom unit in a condo building costs around $300,000, while a four-bedroom single-family home ranges from $700,000 to $1.5 million.
Henderson Bridge is has an awesome view of the Wayland neighborhood.
Quick commutes to Downtown Providence or across the bridge to Massachusetts
“You see people out on the street all the time in Wayland. You do get people either employed at [Brown] University or [Rhode Island] Hospital because it’s close to both. There’s easy proximity downtown on the train to commute,” DeRentis says. The Providence train station is 1.5 miles from Wayland, and there is parking at the station. Wayland residents are also close to Interstate 95, the main north-south highway on the east coast, and Henderson Bridge (also known as the “Red Bridge”) crossing into Seekonk.
Fun for kids at Gladys Potter Park and natural areas in Blackstone Park Conservation District
Gladys Potter Park on Humboldt Avenue is a popular spot for families, as it has a playground with unconventional equipment like climbable animal statues. Blackstone Park Conservation District is a 45-acre natural woodland tucked away in the eastern corner of Wayland. Serving as somewhat of a ‘green buffer’ between city streets and the Seekonk River, the conservation district contains two ponds, an open meadow and wildlife habitats.
Gladys Potter Park has a variety of play equipment for Wayland's children, including slides.
Blackstone Park offers walking trails for Wayland residents.
