Old buildings refurbished for modern homebuyers
Fairmount is a riverside urban neighborhood in west Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Many of the area’s multi-family homes were built at the turn of the 20th century, as old as 1900. Back then, Fairmount was a working-class neighborhood for mill laborers in Woonsocket. This surplus of workers gave rise to the neighborhood’s distinctive triple-decker tenement residences with open porches. Today, the community has retained old buildings and refurbished their use for modern homebuyers, creating a market of multi-family properties, many of which have been converted into rental residences. Woonsocket local and Realtor with Realty ONE Group, Tonya Hurteau, says, “More residents rent than own their homes here.” Single-family homes are available as well for homebuyers who prefer them.
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.
