Riverside, located between the Seekonk River waterfront and the Barrington town line, is a residential and waterfront East Providence neighborhood with a shoreline bike path and a working-marina feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bullocks Point Avenue and Willett Avenue corridor, where seafood counters, bait-and-tackle stops, and low-key taverns sit near docks and boat ramps. Longtime pillars include the Crescent Park Looff Carousel, the seasonal Crescent Park Carousel Village, and the historic Pomham Rocks Lighthouse offshore. Streets mix mid-century capes and ranches with older cottages near the water. The East Bay Bike Path traces the edge of the neighborhood, linking parks, coves, and small beaches. Salt air, sail masts, and sunset views shape daily routines.
