Mid-century homes with historical charm

Despite their turn-of-the-century charm, houses in East Woonsocket were constructed throughout the 1950s. Find three-bedroom Cape Cod Cottages, quaint bungalows and larger Prairie-style homes. You’ll also see more traditional midcentury designs, like modest ranch styles and split levels with low-sloping asymmetrical roofs. No matter the style, houses here typically have one-car garages or private driveways. They also cost between $350,000 and $500,000, a range similar to a Rhode Island home’s average $450,000 selling price. “There are several multi-family homes in the area, so there’s a pretty even mix of renters and buyers,” says Goulet.
