Transformed from farmland to neighborhood

Nowadays, Spring Green is known as a residential neighborhood in the city of Warwick, but its history dates back to when it was a plot of land for John Brown, co-founder of Brown University. The land was originally used for agricultural purposes, but in 1938, it was converted into a series of single-family neighborhoods known as "The Farms." Today, visitors can see how the former farm influenced the development of Spring Green: Gently curving streets are interspersed with ponds and parks, offering a more scenic and slow-paced feel for its residents. "This is another one of those places in Warwick that doesn't seem like it's in a city," says Alessandra Alvarez. "It's not as planned as some of the neighborhoods around it, so you have more greenery and slightly larger lot sizes." Although the neighborhood is suburban, it's still next to city amenities. Route 1 borders the east side of the neighborhood. It offers various shopping and dining options for locals to choose from. There's also the Warwick Mall, a 5-mile drive away. Another plus is its proximity to the airport — frequent flyers will be happy to know that the main terminal is 3 miles from the neighborhood.

Cape Cods, ranch-style and colonial-inspired homes

Most homes in Spring Green were built during the late 1930s, resulting in ranch-style and colonial-inspired designs. "Some of the houses around Pilgrim Parkway are larger so you'll see more Colonials and Cape Cods there, while other parts of the neighborhood have smaller homes like ranches," Alvarez says. "For pricing, you're looking at anything from 300,000 to 480,000." Houses sit on green lots with driveways and garage space, although plenty of space is available for street parking. While there aren't any sidewalks, residents still enjoy walking or biking around the neighborhood.

Competitive teams at Pilgrim High School

Schools fall under the Warwick Public School District. Holliman Elementary School enrolls over 300 students in grades K-5. With its 11 to 1 student-teacher ratio, the school receives a C-plus overall from Niche. Veterans Memorial Middle School has over 1,000 students enrolled in grades 6-8 and also earns a C-plus. Pilgrim High School is the highest-rated school, with an overall Niche score of B-minus. The High School is known for its strong sports program, particularly its cheerleading, ice hockey and soccer teams.

Fishing at Sand Pond and Arnold's Pond

The Sand Pond Wetland is a small, secluded lakefront within the neighborhood. "It's very scenic," Alvarez says. "Most people don't use it to swim —- it's more for looking." Most visitors fish, boat and observe the wildlife, such as herons and swans. Posneganset Pond, also known as Arnold's Pond, is another body of water nearby that is popular for catching carp. For a full day enjoying the outdoors, residents head to the Rocky Point State Park, about five miles away. Locals walk on the trails or go fishing at the pier. Others stroll by the beach, which is reported to have lots of sea glass. The Arch, a historic landmark, also resides here.

Shopping and dining near Spring Green

Shopping and dining options are found along Route 1. The area is lined with local restaurants, varying from Thai to Mexican cuisine. "It's very convenient," says Alvarez. "If you live at the very edge of the neighborhood, you could literally walk over across the street. Otherwise, it's like a five-minute drive to get to shops there." A local favorite is Lemongrass, an Asian fusion restaurant. Residents enjoy its sushi and cocktails. Further down the street is California Taco Shop, a regional chain serving classic Mexican American cuisine.  Dave's Fresh Marketplace serves as the go-to spot for groceries. For more options, residents can visit the Warwick Mall, the biggest shopping center in the area, which has everything from retail giants like Target to Jordan's Furniture.

Staying active at Teamworks Warwick

Those looking to stay active can head to Planet Fitness on the east or Teamworks Warwick on the west. Teamworks Warwick is an indoor sports and recreation center that offers coaching for youth and adult leagues and summer camps. "A lot of people send their kids there for practice. There's also a bar upstairs for the adults, which is nice," says Alvarez. "It's also great for when it gets colder, but you still want to get out and move around."

Two major roads nearby

Residents can take Interstate 95, State Route 1 or the bus system to get around Warwick. The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority runs the area's bus lines, and the MBTA operates trains through Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Spring Green is also right next to the Rhode Island TF Green International Airport, about a 3-mile drive away. Some areas of the neighborhood are affected by flightpaths, but locals say they quickly adjust to the noise over time.
