Near the Rhode Island-Massachusetts border, North Smithfield was founded in the 17th century by British colonists who looked into developing a farming community named after a town in England. Woonsocket, a few miles east, provides the majority of essential shopping and resources demanded by residents of an apartment or home rental in North Smithfield, although Providence is only a 25-minute drive, 17 miles south. Boston, Massachusetts is an hour’s drive northeast on the I-295 and I-95, and is a popular working destination, with a good portion of residents making the daily commute.
Residents of a North Smithfield house or apartment for rent enjoy cooling off and adventuring into both the Trout Brook Pond and Slatersville Reservoir. Although North Smithfield doesn’t maintain an extensive recreation program or large park system, residents find that the walking paths and bike trails are sufficient for exercise close to home while the area’s children can participate in youth leagues a few minutes away in Woonsocket. The community is home to a number of historical landmarks, including Slatersville, Peleg Arnold Tavern, the Blackstone Valley National Heritage Corridor, Forestdale Mill Village Historic District, Todd Farm, and Three Dog Site.
