Living in Central Falls, Rhode Island

What is Central Falls, Rhode Island like? Central Falls is the smallest and most densely populated city in Rhode Island — about 1.29 square miles along the Blackstone River. It grew up as a mill city, and that history still shapes its streets: rows of triple-deckers and two- to four-family homes, a walkable Broad Street commercial spine, and landmarks like Jenks Park and the Cogswell Tower. It sits directly against Pawtucket, a short drive from Providence.

The Neighborhoods of Central Falls

Central Falls is compact, but it has a few distinct pockets.

Broad Street corridor. The city’s civic and commercial heart, anchored by City Hall and a dense mix of storefronts and multifamily housing.

Jenks Park area. Around the park and the landmark Cogswell Tower near the city center.

Valley Falls. The northern edge of the city along the Blackstone River, bordering Cumberland.

The mill district. Along the river, where much of the historic mill-era housing and former factory buildings stand.

Central Falls Property Taxes

Central Falls sets its property tax rates annually, and the city uses a classification system in which owner-occupied homes can be taxed differently from non-owner-occupied and investment property. Because so much of Central Falls’ housing is two- to four-family buildings, whether you plan to live in the home affects the rate that applies. Rates change year to year, so confirm the current figures for a specific property with the Central Falls Tax Assessor at City Hall, 580 Broad Street.
