Centreville
Architectural diversity in Centreville
Centreville is populated with raised ranch-style, split-level and colonial homes. Walking through Centreville reveals narrow residential streets with predominantly straight driveways and attached garages. Most sidewalk infrastructure diverted to main roads and schools like Maisie E. Quinn, a preschool within the neighborhood. Many houses in Centreville are older, with post-World War II builds standing beside renovated 19th-century residences. James Duffer, 5-year Realtor with RISE Real Estate Consultants, says, “Home prices are lower than usual in the area, which is good, when many residents drive to Providence for work.” Single-family homes range from $250,000 to $500,000, varying on lot size and square footage.

Duffer says, “A lot of Centreville’s historic mills have been reinvigorated for community use.” The Centreville Mill, a textile mill used during the Civil War, has been converted into a flea market and antique store. The one across the river, Agawam Mill, is now a community art center that hosts art classes and showcases local works.Centreville public education options

Getting around Centreville
The RIPTA 23 bus line serves Centreville for public transportation. The bus takes residents north as far as neighboring Lippitt. Rhode Island State Route 117 runs north along the neighborhood and takes residents 15 miles to downtown Providence. There’s also the bustling Interstate 95 to the east, allowing access up and down the East Coast for commutes, road trips and getaways. Centreville was built from the land’s unique access to the Pawtuxet River. Throughout its history, the community has thrived on the river for recreation, and its old infrastructure has evolved with its residents and their needs.

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.
