Low prices near the Massachusetts border in the Globe District
The Globe District in the Rhode Island city of Woonsocket puts residents only 2 miles from Massachusetts, the U.S. state that pays the highest average wage. At the same time, locals can enjoy Rhode Island’s lower home prices in the Globe District, a primarily residential neighborhood on Woonsocket’s southwest side. “People are buying in Woonsocket, but they’re working in Massachusetts,” says Amy Bedard, a Realtor at CrossRoads Real Estate Group in the city.
Globe District features a variety of home styles for every buyer’s taste.
Globe District homes are built to meet the needs of modern families.

A renter-friendly neighborhood with colonials and Cape Cods
Houses in the Globe District stand tall, with rounded bay windows and balconies often stretching three stories into the air. These are often scooped up by investors in Massachusetts and rented out, Bedard says. “Prices are exceptionally lower here, but our rents are very aggressive.” Still, some of these homes are bought by owners who plan to live in them, Bedard adds. Small colonial-style houses and Cape Cod homes sometimes are tucked between these multifamily properties, options for those seeking single-family homes. Though many of the houses are towering, yards are usually compact, offering just enough space for a flower garden or a few shrubs. Prices for two-bedroom single-family homes start in the high $200,000s, but multifamily properties with more the five bedrooms will likely cost $500,000 or more.

Enjoying the outdoors at Globe Park
Next to the elementary school, Globe Park offers residents a green respite from the otherwise dense, developed blocks of the neighborhood. Kids and adults get active on the park’s playground, basketball court and tennis court. Meanwhile, trails around Globe Park’s pond may give walkers views of the birds, amphibians and reptiles that call the pool of water home. Even in the winter, the park isn’t abandoned; it has a hill that becomes a ski and sled slope when it’s blanketed with snow.
Globe District is pet-friendly with walkable paths and green spaces.

Local businesses from antiques to fresh seafood
A handful of shops and restaurants are sprinkled throughout the Globe District, so many locals have a business within a couple blocks of their doorsteps. Al’s Place earns stellar reviews for its breakfast combos of eggs and ham, as well as its pancakes that barely fit on the plates. Residents also can pick up fresh lobster and fish at R&D Seafood Inc. or hunt for vintage items at Nichols Antiques and Collectibles. However, they need to go less than a mile south of the neighborhood to access Stop & Shop supermarket or Park Square Pharmacy. Other activities are found less than a mile north of the neighborhood, where locals can learn more about life for early residents of Woonsocket at the Museum of Work & Culture.

Major employers and access to Providence
The Museum of Work & Culture explores Woonsocket’s history as a mill town, but one of the city’s most iconic employers today is CVS Health Corp., headquartered on Woonsocket’s east side. Still, the community’s residents are more likely to work in Massachusetts. Boston is a 55-mile drive north of the neighborhood. Providence sits 15 miles to the south, which can be reached in less than an hour with RIPTA’s public bus system.
Globe District is ideal for CVS Health employees seeking nearby housing.
RIPTA buses are a convenient way for Globe District residents to get around the Woonsocket area.
