Norwood
Offering a mix of housing styles
Homes in Norwood were constructed on a grid system, resulting in houses that sit closely together with smaller lots. "I would say most of these properties were built in the 1950s and 60s, so there's going to be more single-story homes, and you're going to see styles like ranches, Cape Cods and colonials," Alvarez explains. Prices start at $280,000 and go up to $450,000. There are no sidewalks, but children still like to play and walk on the streets, as indicated by traffic signs. There's also a neighborhood crime watch in place, but the presence of law enforcement is rarely needed.
For frequent flyers
Transportation options include 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. Norwood is also right next to the Rhode Island TF Green International Airport, a two-mile drive away. "It's literally one of the best airport experiences you can have, anywhere," says Stefanie Carr, a Realtor with Lila Delman Compass. "If you travel often, this is a good part of Warwick to live in." While the neighborhood is close to the airport, residents haven't reported noise as an issue.
Championship-winning teams at Pilgrim High
Schools fall under the Warwick Public School District. Norwood Elementary enrolls 250 students in grades K-5. With its 11 to 1 student-teacher ratio, the school receives a C overall from Niche. Veterans Memorial Middle School has over 1,000 students enrolled in Grades 6-8. It earns a C-plus. Pilgrim High School also has 1000 students but is rated B-minus by Niche. The High School is known for its strong sports program, particularly its cheerleading, ice hockey and soccer teams.
Visiting Rocky Point State Park
At the center of the neighborhood is Norwood Field, a green space that comes with a playground and baseball field. The area needs some renovations, but residents still stop by with their kids. Another option is the Rocky Point State Park, about an eight-mile drive away. It is one of two state parks nearby, stretching over 120 acres of land. The grounds used to be home to an amusement park but reopened as a state park in 2014. Locals walk or bike on the trails and fish on the piers. Others stroll by the beach, picking up colorful sea glass in the sand. The Arch, a historical landmark, also resides here.
Dining and retail near Norwood
Shopping and dining options are found at Route 1. The area is lined with restaurants ranging from Chinese to Mexican cuisine. "There's so much to choose from," says Alvarez. "All these options are literally right outside of the neighborhood." A local favorite is Lemongrass, a restaurant serving Asian fusion. Residents enjoy its sushi and cocktails. Across the street is Cosmic Pizza — those in the area might run into a neighbor picking up takeout. Family Dollar and Dave's Fresh Marketplace provide the community with groceries and other essentials.Staying active at Teamworks Warwick
Those looking to stay active can head to Teamworks Warwick, an indoor sports and recreation center. It offers coaching for youth & adult leagues, summer camps and even has a bar. Residents also have access to the Norwood Branch of the Warwick Public Library system. Although a small brick building, the library has been a neighborhood staple since 1923.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
