Hilly neighborhood on the East Side of Providence
Updated 19th century homes within walking distance to Whole Foods and a colorful community park define the established but ever-changing East Side neighborhood of Mount Hope. “We get a lot of new people, but there’s long-time residents and generations of families who have lived here, too,” says Mary Shawcross, a Realtor with Homesmart Professionals who specializes in older homes and has lived in Mount Hope since 2000. “We have a nice community spirit. It’s a great neighborhood to walk around and meet your neighbors.” Bordering College Hill and the bustling I-95 corridor, Mount Hope is central to Providence’s urban amenities on quieter blocks with distinctive historic flair.

Historic homes and condos on hilly blocks
Blocks lined by sidewalks, mature trees and saplings, street-parked cars and a colorful blend of historic homes built from the mid-1800s through early 1900s run down hills and long, flat stretches throughout Mount Hope. “There’s a nice collection of older single-family and multi-family homes,” Shawcross says. “A lot of clapboard architecture with porches.” Simpler clapboard homes and National forms on small lots stand down the street from larger, more ornate homes with influences ranging from Victorian to Dutch Revival, selling for $315,000 to $1.3 million depending on square footage, renovation levels and lot size. Condos in two- or three-story historic homes and a couple of larger complexes sell for $215,000 to $519,000. About 75% of Mount Hope residents are renters rather than homeowners.

Storefronts from Hope Street to I-95
A handful of restaurants and larger shopping centers provide options for shopping and dining both within Mount Hope and just outside the neighborhood. “On Camp Street we’ve got a poke restaurant and the Oak Bakeshop coffee shop. We’re also less than a mile from the stores on Hope Street,” Shawcross says. Just north of Rochambeau Avenue, Hope Village shops and restaurants provide blocks of options beyond trendy raw fish bowls and Jewish pastries. The commercial offerings along North Main Street range from KFC to auto parts dealers, running south toward a strip mall anchored by Whole Foods and Petco. Across the bridge over I-95, locals shop for essentials at Stop & Shop, Walmart and The Home Depot in a more industrial commercial district.

Billy Taylor Park and the YMCA
Named in memory of a community member beloved for his youth advocacy, the Billy Taylor Park houses basketball courts, a playground and splashpad on its sloping grounds. Residents get into the park at the Camp Street entrance, or head straight to the courts via a footbridge overhanging Cypress Street. Locals can take classes and use the fitness equipment and pool at the East Side/Mt. Hope YMCA. A few churches and a small synagogue provide religious services throughout the neighborhood.

Events at Billy Taylor Park
Events hosted by local community groups and public officials are frequently held at Billy Taylor Park, including seasonal celebrations like Trunk-or-Treat. Each summer, in honor of the park’s namesake, the Billy Taylor Days Festival brings the community together for an afternoon of live music and catching up with old friends under the sun. Nearby, green thumbs tend plots at the Mount Hope Community Garden.
