Congratulations to the College Hill neighborhood of Providence, R.I., for making USA Today's "America's Best Neighborhoods", every bit designated past times the American Planning Association (APA).

The APA chose "10 neighborhoods, streets in addition to populace spaces" inwards our field that met its high standards of community excellence criteria, in addition to they clearly idea rattling highly of College Hill. In the article, you'll meet marvelous photos of historic Angell in addition to Benefit Sts.

No declaration hither on College Hill receiving this accolade!  To me, College Hill resonates every bit the gem of Providence -- an already dandy city, overall. The brownstone architectural elegance, stately Colonial in addition to Victorian homes, beautiful Prospect Terrace Park, the presence of  Ivy League Brown University, besides every bit the Rhode Island School of Design, brand for a fabulous neighborhood. And what a fantastic identify to stroll to a village-like expanse of shops in addition to restaurants along Thayer Street, North in addition to South Main Streets, Waterman in addition to Angell Streets.  In a way, yous don't fifty-fifty experience similar you're inwards the city; rather, it's similar a bustling modest college town.

Although I could intend of several other neighborhoods inwards New England that are every fleck every bit prissy every bit College Hill, the American Planning Association made a prissy choice here!
