    "Pawtucketville is a great neighborhood to start at young family. Or to grow old in. There are very nice people and it is very diverse. I would strongly encourage people to move here. My wife and I have been here for 15 years now and are bringing up our 3 young children ages 10 and 7. "

Walking distance to the river, which is beautiful. I wish a drugstore or convenience store were closer. The nearby 7-11 seems a little sketchy. But, it’s ok.
