Forestdale pairs historic mill-village character with everyday convenience. Tucked along the Branch River in North Smithfield, it offers streetscapes of 19th-century worker homes and brick mill buildings, plus trail access into the Blackstone River Valley. Quick connections via Route 146 simplify commutes to Woonsocket and Providence, while its setting in Providence County places shopping, dining, and services within easy reach.
Families appreciate the strong local school community, with active arts and athletics and a full slate of extracurriculars. Town services are responsive and well-organized through the Town of North Smithfield’s official site, which highlights programs, permitting, and seasonal events at the municipal level. Outdoor time comes naturally here: the nearby Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park showcases canals, river overlooks, and interpretive sites that illuminate the region’s industrial story while offering walking and biking options.
Weekends often include fresh pastries and farm views at the long-loved Wright’s Dairy Farm & Bakery, and seasonal festivals and youth sports keep the calendar busy. Housing ranges from updated mill-era homes to newer construction on leafy side streets, giving first-time buyers and move-up families solid choices at a variety of price points.
