Arlington offers convenience at a competitive price point

Arlington offers a convenient suburban lifestyle in northeast Cranston, close to Providence. Homebuyers are drawn to the neighborhood for its proximity to major employers and popular shopping and dining districts, as well as competitive prices – Arlington’s median sale price is about $40,000 below the city median. “Everything is like one minute away,” says Realtor Hilda Vargas of Ocean Blue Realty. “Rhode Island is the smallest state in the country, of course, so everything is close by, but that’s especially true here.”

Arlington’s residential streets offer a mix of bungalows, cottages and Colonial Revivals.

Closely spaced single- and multifamily homes

Granite curbs, wide sidewalks and narrow front lawns are common in Arlington. Maples, oaks and beech trees shade short driveways between the closely spaced cottages, bungalows, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals. Single-family homes typically sell for between about $260,000 and $466,000, while multifamily homes tend to range from about $400,000 to $630,000. Arlington’s median sale price, just over $400,000, is under the Cranston median of $440,000. Over half of residents rent rather than own their homes here. “It’s good for first-time buyers, renters, investors, people looking for that lower price point,” Vargas says.
