Location Characteristics: The territory, which in 1862 became the town of East Providence, was in the mainstream of early American history. The original settlement and development of the area take us back to two of the most famous movements in our history — the coming of the Pilgrims to Plymouth, and the Puritans to the Boston area. Both groups contributed settlers, ideas and disagreements to the early history of East Providence. East Providence was first settled in 1636. Earlier in that year, Roger Williams and his followers were banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and founded a new community called "Seacunke," (Seekonk). Shortly thereafter Roger Williams and his group were informed by the governor that their land was within territorial limits claimed by the colony of Massachusetts. Williams' party quickly departed and settled nearby, starting what would eventually become the city of Providence. In 1862, when East Providence was incorporated as a part of Rhode Island, many older residents of the community could boast of having lived in three towns and two states without ever having moved. In 1862 the westerly part of Seekonk was annexed to Rhode Island and incorporated as a town, which was named East Providence, thus settling the Massachusetts-Rhode Island Boundary question. East Providence's proximity to Providence, and strong ties with Rhode Island, made this action inevitable.
The city of East Providence is situated between the urban center of Rhode Island and rural southeastern Massachusetts. A large proportion of the city is bordered by bodies of water: the Seekonk and Providence rivers to the west, Narragansett Bay to the south, and the Running and Ten Mile rivers (including the James V. Turner Reservoir and Central Pond) along most of its eastern border. The land east of the Seekonk River was occupied by the Wampanoag Indians. Their villages were not permanent, but were moved with seasonal and agricultural changes. The Indian civilization nearly vanished by the turn of the 18th century, but had left East Providence with two legacies: the names Wampanoag and Sachem are used for everything from shopping areas to country clubs, and Indian trails have formed major present day transportation routes. Today, East Providence is a growing city with easy accessibility. Its modern development has been attributed to its central location on an available waterway, its modern highway and railroad routes, and to the suburban outgrowth from the city of Providence.; The East Side of Providence has direct access to Interstate 95, which can quickly take you to some of the Rhode Island's beautiful ocean spots, or on to Boston, one-hour north, or New York City, three-hours south. The States small size makes it convenient to live in the culturally rich Capital City and work just about anywhere in the State with no more than a thirty-minute drive to work. The average commute to work in Rhode Island is only fifteen minutes. In fact, many East Side residents walk to work!

Roger Williams, a religious freedoms advocate, founded Providence in 1636, when he purchased the land from the Narragansett Indian tribe.

The RISD Museum, Gallery Nights, Providence Art Club and many other venues, give the East Side Community constant exposure to new trends in art and design, and regular opportunities to buy "artist studio direct"!
Providence has been dubbed the "Creative Capital" and tops the list of American Cities that are most appealing to telecommuters and those at the forefront of the new "creative economy". The East Side is the hub, attracting creative individuals whose work allows them the freedom to live most anywhere they choose. Providence, with its exceptional quality-of-life, appeals to this growing group of dynamic individuals. When the need arises to leave town, either for business or pleasure, T.F. Green Airport (PVD) is just a 10-minute drive from the East Side.

Hello, thank you for reading my market conditions report.
I am a licensed Broker in RI & MA. I've been a professional Realtor for going on 30 years. I've sold well over 1,200 properties during my career.
I am a Graduate of the Realtor Institute. There are only 485 out of close to 4,800 licensed agents and brokers in RI who earned the GRI designation. I am a Certified Residential Specialist. There are 123 agents who have earned their CRS designation. I am a Certified Relocation Professional. There are only a few who have taken the courses to obtain this CRP designation. I am an Accredited Buyers Representative. There are only 115 that have the ABR designation. I have also obtained a E-Pro designation. There are 72 E-Pros in RI. I am one of 5 to hold 4 of these and the only one to be certified in 5 areas. This shows achievements in using a higher level of technology to serve my buyer and seller clients. Finally, I specialize in distressed property sales, both short sales and REOs. I've sold over 150 of these hardship case properties over the past 3 years.
All of these designations are recognized by the National Association of Realtors.
I can help you in all aspects of real estate in RI and nearby Mass., whether selling, buying, building or investing.
Please call me or e mail me to answer any questions you may have. Thank you... Steve Gillikin
