Alternate Neighborhood Names
This page provides an explanation of how the official Neighborhood boundaries, established by the Planning Commission in 1977, relate to other commonly used names for areas within the City of Providence.
Jewelry District: Just south of Downtown and formerly within the Upper South Providence neighborhood, it is nestled within the curve of I-95 to the south and I-195 to the north (I-195 is currently being redirected south of the Jewelry District, then it will become part of Downtown)(MAP 222kb).
North End: A vague term used sometimes by the real estate industry, it seems to apply mostly to the neighborhoods of Wanskuck and Charles.
West Broadway: An officially recognized neighborhood with its own association, West Broadway spans the southern part of Federal Hill and the top third of West End.
West Side: A fairly vague term for the area including West End, Olneyville, and adjacent parts of other neighborhoods.
