West End Condos for Sale

West End in Providence, Rhode Island, is a neighborhood rich in history and diverse architecture. Many homes date back to the early 1880s, featuring two or three-story Queen Anne and Second Empire-style Victorians with colorful wood siding and decorative trim. These historic homes have often been converted into condos, duplexes, or triplexes. The neighborhood also includes standalone Colonial Revivals and Cape Cods. The Cranston Street Armory, a notable landmark built in 1907, overlooks the Dexter Training Grounds, a 9-acre park offering recreational activities such as bocce and baseball. The park hosts the Armory Park Farmers Market on summer Thursday evenings. Nearby, Ridge Street Park and Franciscan Park provide additional green spaces, with the latter being an off-leash dog park. Federal Hill, known as Providence’s “Little Italy,” is just north of West End, featuring gourmet Italian markets and long-standing eateries along Atwells Avenue. Broadway, another main road, is home to contemporary art galleries, vintage shops, and popular dining spots like Seven Stars Bakery and The Patio on Broadway. Ogie’s Trailer Park on Westminster Street offers a unique tiki bar experience.
