Fairmount
Compact streets of Cape Cods and Craftsman bungalows
Walking through Fairmount is simple, with ample sidewalk space, where residents view Cape Cods and Craftsman bungalows with covered porches alongside colonial-style multi-family homes. Prices for multi-and-single-family homes range from $290,000 to $600,000, depending on the age of the house and whether it has undergone a remodel. Hurteau says, “It’s usually a mix of fixer-uppers and remodeled homes on the market in Fairmount.” Streets are compact and grid-patterned, with multi-family homes usually containing reserved parking spots for residents and single-family homes with straight driveways.
A decent commute to anywhere in Woonsocket
Hurteau mentions, “You can walk downtown for retail and dining; many residents work in the city, so having a bus route is very helpful.” RIPTA bus route 87 runs down Fairmount Street and can take residents within walking distance to most Woonsocket attractions. A 20-minute walk from Fairmount can land residents in Woonsocket’s retail and dining districts or 1.5 miles by car. Nearby city Worcester is also 27 miles by car, and the Massachusetts border is a stone’s throw from Fairmount proper. Fairmount is a decent commute to anywhere in Woonsocket, meaning the city’s amenities are always within reach.Retail right across the river
Major grocery chains are unavailable within Fairmount, but residents can head to Santo Domingo Market, a smaller store with limited meat and produce options. Retail is available across the river in downtown Woonsocket; there are various local clothing, antique and secondhand stores like Angels Boutique and Trendz to browse. For dining, Luc’s Bar and Grill is a brief walk or bus ride across Fairmount Street bridge and offers a quick bite menu with eggs for breakfast and burgers and mozzarella sticks for lunch and dinner, alongside draft beer and cocktails.Expansive green space with a small water park
Residents can walk to Dunn Park within Fairmount, which features basketball hoops, a tennis court, and a big grass field for playing fetch with furry friends. Costa Park also has basketball courts, a field, benches and views of the churning Blackstone River. World War II Memorial Park, while not in the neighborhood, is an expansive green space in central Woonsocket featuring brief walking trails and two playgrounds for kids, one of which is a small water park.A high school offering hands-on learning
Woonsocket Public Schools serve Fairmount’s children. Within the neighborhood is Kevin K. Coleman Elementary School, rated a C-minus on Niche, and further east, there’s Woonsocket Middle and Woonsocket High, both rated a C on Niche.
