North Providence housing market snapshot (as of fall 2026)

Data providers measure the market differently, so here are dated figures with their sources instead of one number:

  • Median sale price: about $426K for the three months ending October 2026, up 1.2% from a year earlier (Redfin). Realtor.com reported a $430,000 median sold price for October 2026 (down about 3% from a year earlier) and a $404,950 median listing price.
  • Speed: Redfin reported a median of 28 days on market, up from 22 days a year earlier. Realtor.com reported a median of 31 days, up about 35% year over year.
  • Price vs. list: Redfin reported a 101.1% sale-to-list ratio, with about 55.5% of homes selling above list price and about 23% having a price drop. Realtor.com put the October sale-to-list ratio at about 101%.
  • Inventory and market type: Realtor.com counted 119 active listings in October 2026, down about 6% from a year earlier, and called North Providence a seller's market. Redfin's Compete Score rated it "very competitive" (84/100) and counted 113 homes sold over the period.

What that means for you: North Providence is still one of the faster-moving markets around Providence. More than half of homes sold over asking in Redfin's numbers. But homes are taking about a week longer to sell than last year, and almost a quarter had a price cut, so an overpriced listing can sit. Buyers should expect competition on well-priced homes and come in with a pre-approval and a clear plan. A town-wide median can't tell you what your home is worth, so we look at recent sales on and near your street.

North Providence's villages and neighborhoods

North Providence was incorporated in 1765. The original town included parts of today's Providence and Pawtucket, including the Slater Mill area, which became part of Pawtucket in 1874. Today the town is a compact mix of mill villages and residential neighborhoods:

  • Centerdale (also spelled Centredale): the historic center of town, home to the 1822 Allendale Mill area.
  • Allendale and Lymansville: mill villages along the Woonasquatucket River on the town's western side.
  • Fruit Hill: a residential area in the southern part of town, near the Providence line.
  • Marieville, Greystone, Geneva, Woodville, and Louisquisset: other neighborhoods and villages with a range of single-family homes, multi-families, and condos.

North Providence uses ZIP 02911, and parts of town use 02904 and 02908. Prices and buyer demand can differ a lot from a mill-village multi-family to a single-family home on a quiet side street, so we compare street by street.

Living in North Providence

  • Parks and water: Governor John A. Notte Memorial Park (sports fields, playgrounds, a freshwater beach, and Camp Meehan overlooking the Wenscott Reservoir) and Captain Stephen Olney Memorial Park. The town also has Canada Pond and the Woonasquatucket River.
  • Town events: Memorial Day and Independence Day celebrations at Notte Park, a fishing derby, and the town hall tree lighting.
  • Location: North Providence borders Providence to the south, Pawtucket to the east, Johnston to the west, and Smithfield and Lincoln to the north, so downtown Providence and the rest of the metro are close by.
  • Schools: North Providence Public Schools serves the town. Check the district for current schools and boundaries.
