Greater Providence & Northern Rhode Island Top 5 Home Sales: A Downtown Providence Penthouse Leads the Week

A high-rise penthouse, a historic College Hill home and three Colonials outside the city made up the week's top sales.

Greater Providence & Northern Rhode Island Top 5 Home Sales: A Downtown Providence Penthouse Leads the Week

The five highest-priced home sales reported in Greater Providence & Northern Rhode Island for the week ending November 8, 2026, came to a combined $6.28 million. Two of them were in Providence, a downtown condominium and a single-family home on College Hill. The other three were single-family homes in Cumberland, Lincoln and North Scituate, and all five are in Providence County.

Together they cover a wide span of the region’s housing, from a 19th-century home in a city historic district to country properties with a pond, pasture, barns and pools.

No. 1 — $1,650,000 · 1 W Exchange St Unit 3002, Providence, Rhode Island

Top home sale No. 1 in Greater Providence & Northern Rhode Island β€” 1 W Exchange St Unit 3002, Providence, Rhode Island, week ending November 8, 2026

The week’s top sale was a penthouse on the 30th floor of 1 West Exchange Street in downtown Providence, which sold for $1.65 million. Residence 3002 is one of three homes on its floor, and it has a private terrace and views that reach across the city and beyond.

Built in 2007, the condominium has three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath in 1,830 square feet. The floor plan is open, with plenty of natural light. Custom millwork runs through the rooms, a custom bar is built in, and the kitchen is fitted with premium appliances. Two secure indoor garage spaces come with the home.

Much of the appeal is the building itself. Concierge and doorman service run around the clock, and a climate-controlled skybridge connects to the Omni Providence Hotel, where residents can use the fitness facilities and the Rotunda Pool. The building also has direct access to Providence Place and its shops, restaurants and entertainment. The property last sold for $940,000 in 2018.
