PROVIDENCE, RI – OCTOBER 19, 2026 – Compass is pleased to announce the sale of 12 University Avenue in Providence for $1,445,000. Scott Champagne, of the Compass Providence office, represented the sellers in this transaction. According to RI Statewide MLS, this is the third highest two-family sale on the East Side, year to date. Compass agents have participated in four of the top eight such sales so far this year.*
A fully renovated two-family property situated between Wayland Square and College Hill, 12 University Avenue was reconstructed from the ground up in 2020. The fully-leased residence features eight bedrooms and five bathrooms across a total of 3,435 square feet of living space. With zero vacancy history, the property provides turnkey performance alongside central air, in-unit laundry, off-street parking, and expansion potential.
“This home is a great example of what buyers are looking for in a high-end multi-family on the East Side,” commented Scott Champagne. “It was completely renovated, fully leased, and offered strong income in a location where properties like this don’t come along very often. There continues to be real demand for quality multi-family properties in Providence, and this sale is a good reflection of that.”
Compass ranked as the #1 brokerage in Rhode Island for total sales volume in 2025, closing more than $1.26 billion in sales. Additionally, Compass ranks as the #1 luxury brokerage in Rhode Island by closed sales volume over $1M and continues to lead as the nation’s #1 real estate brokerage, with five consecutive years atop the RealTrends Verified Brokerage Rankings for sales volume.†
