Comments: Our home is located in the Eastside of Providence, a highly desirable area nestled between College Hill, home to Brown and RISD, and the Seekonk River. We are one block away from delicious delis and cafes, as well as a convenience store. Also, the popular Wayland shopping area, filled with boutique shops and restaurants, is about a 10 min walk away. For those with younger kids, two playgrounds are located within a short walking distance as well. Providence itself is an easy 1-hr train ride to Boston, MA and 3-hr train ride to New York, NY.
