Looking to build a duplex, triplex, or single-family home in an established and super convenient Providence neighborhood? This prime R-4 zoned lot at 42 Derry Street is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come around often. R-4 zoning allows for up to four residential units, giving you the flexibility to build anything from a single-family to a four-unit multifamily property—ideal for investors, developers, or owner-occupants who want to live in one unit and rent out the others. Just a short walk to Providence College and a quick drive to downtown, highways, hospitals, and shopping, the location is hard to beat. Public sewer and water are available right at the street, which makes the process even smoother. The lot will require approvals and a land survey, and buyers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence and obtaining necessary permits. Whether you’re planning to build and hold, sell for profit, or create a custom space to call home, this lot checks all the boxes. If you're ready to take the next step, let’s talk—this one won’t last!
