A small neighborhood in the heart of the city

Lincoln Park is a small, package-sized neighborhood in the city of Warwick, sandwiched between the Lincoln Park Cementary and State Route 1. The area's most defining feature is the graveyard, which takes up most of the neighborhood boundaries. However, the cemetery is a minor part of day-to-day life. Instead, it serves as a backdrop for most residents: "It's a predominantly Jewish cemetery that's really well kept and very peaceful," says Alessandra Alvarez, a Realtor and Rhode Island resident. "Other than that, it's your typical neighborhood in Warwick." Those residing in Lincoln Park enjoy easy access to virtually anywhere in the city: it is located right next to the TF Green International Airport, several highways and Warwick Mall. The east side of the neighborhood opens up to Post Road, which contains the majority of local businesses in the area. "Convenience and an easy commute are the best ways to describe Lincoln Park," Alvarez says. "You're the closest you could possibly get to the airport and all these city amenities, but you're also still in a residential neighborhood and can hop on any of the highways to get to a beach."

Cape Cod and ranch-style homes

According to Alvarez, the neighborhood has a mix of architectural styles.  "Most of these were built during the mid-twenty century. You'll see a lot of the usual three-bedroom, one-bathroom ranches. There might be an occasional Cape Cod or custom home, too." Houses sit closely together, with smaller lot sizes due to being in the city. There are no sidewalks, but there is enough room for street parking and biking. Prices start at $280,000 and go up to $450,000.

Attending Pilgrim High School

Norwood Elementary School enrolls 250 students in grades K-5 and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 11 to 1. It receives a C overall from Niche. Veterans Memorial Middle is a large junior high, with over 1,000 students enrolled in grades 6-8. It earns a C-minus. Pilgrim High School also has over 1000 students enrolled and receives a B-minus from Niche. The high school is known for its strong sports team. The cheerleading, ice hockey and soccer teams have won recent division championships.

Two state parks nearby

Despite its location in the city, there's always the opportunity to escape into nature. Goddard Memorial State Park, spanning over 400 acres, is one of the most popular parks in Rhode Island. It attracts thousands of visitors each year with its trails, spacious lawns and namesake beach. There's also a nine-hole golf course and a performing arts center used for weddings and concerts. Another option is Rocky Point State Park. The grounds used to be home to an amusement park but reopened as a state park in 2014. Locals walk, bike, and hike on the trails or fish on the piers. Others stroll by the beach, picking up colorful sea glass and shells in the sand. The Arch, a historical landmark, also resides here.

Picking up breakfast from My Favorite Muffin

There are a variety of local shops on Post Road. Alvarez says that a local favorite is My Favorite Muffin, a small chain serving pastries and breakfast food. "Every time I get my eyebrows done, I drive by there and pick something up, and people stop by there all the time in the morning." When it comes to running errands, residents can drop by at Stop & Shop, a supermarket less than 3 miles away.

A recreation center next door

South of Lincoln Park is the Gamm Theatre, a performing arts company that's been around since 1984. Its plays have received several Elliot Norton Awards from the Boston Theater Critics Association. Teamworks Warwick, an indoor recreation center, is to the east of the neighborhood. "It's a really fun place," Alvarez says. "They teach classes from little all the way to adult league, and there's even a bar upstairs. It's nice for when it gets cold and you still want to move around." To watch the latest blockbusters, locals head to Showcase Cinemas Warwick.

Traveling with Interstate 95

There are several options for getting around: the train, Interstate 95 and the bus system. The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority runs the area's bus lines, and the MBTA operates trains through Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Lincoln Park is also right next to the Rhode Island TF Green International Airport, about a one-mile drive away. Despite the closeness of the airport, residents haven't reported noise as an issue.
