East Providence housing market snapshot (as of fall 2026)

Different data providers measure the market differently, so here are dated figures with their sources rather than a single number:

  • Redfin (three months ending October 2026): median sale price about $460K, up 5.7% from a year earlier; homes sold in a median of 26 days(22 days a year earlier); typically about 2 offers per home. Source: Redfin East Providence housing market page.
  • Realtor.com (September 2026): median sold price $450,500; 160 active listings; median 32 days on market; sale-to-list ratio about 100%. Source: Realtor.com East Providence market page.
  • Housing stock in ZIP 02914 (TopHap, records through October 2026): median year built 1940; about 72% single-family homes; median size about 1,682 sq ft and 3 bedrooms.

What that means in practice: well-prepared, accurately priced homes are still selling in about a month, but the neighborhood, condition, and price point of a specific house matter more than a citywide median. Older housing stock means inspections often turn up items worth planning for before you list.

East Providence neighborhoods and ZIP codes

The City of East Providence describes five neighborhoods, each with its own character:

  • Watchemoket – the central, most populated area, with most of the city's commercial and municipal buildings; I-195 runs through it, a short drive over the river to downtown Providence. (ZIP 02914)
  • Riverside – the southern, bayside section, once a summer resort area. Home to Crescent Park and its 1895 Looff Carousel (a National Historic Landmark) and a stretch of the East Bay Bike Path. (ZIP 02915)
  • Rumford – north of the Ten Mile River, the site of the original settlement, with an older historic district near Hunts Mills. (ZIP 02916)
  • Kent Heights – largely post-World War II subdivisions along southern Pawtucket Avenue.
  • Phillipsdale – along Omega Pond and the Seekonk River, with roots as a Washburn Wire company village.

ZIP lines don't match neighborhood lines exactly, so we compare sales street by street, not just by ZIP.

Living in East Providence

  • East Bay Bike Path: about 14.5 miles from India Point Park in Providence through Riverside toward Barrington and Bristol.
  • Schools: East Providence High School moved into a new building on Pawtucket Avenue in fall 2021, with the city's career and technical center built in. A new Edward R. Martin Middle School opened to students on December 1, 2025 (per the East Providence School Department). Check the district for boundaries and current details.
  • Commute: I-195 crosses the city, so many buyers who work in Providence look here.
