In addition to many collegiate artists in and around Providence, there has always been a very healthy respect for art of all kinds here. There are many shops that sell locally made art all around the state.

AS220 is one hub for local artists, they have galleries, performances, and classes of all kinds.

Agreed, furthermore I don't understand the sealed eviction records either. If you have been evicted 3 times in the last five years, that's crucial information to have before I enter into any agreement with you. Some of these sound good. But some of them sound like a total scam waiting to happen. Just imagine how the capping of deductions could be used to hurt someone if things go sour. Seems foolish to build this into the process.

In case this is helpful to OP, I live in a third floor walk-up two bed one bath apartment very close to Federal Hill with one designated parking spot and laundry in the unit. It’s $1625, the property management company sucks, and dog poop abounds on sidewalks and mulched garden beds—for a present day comparison. Confirmed living in New England is quite expensive, and Rhode Island is no exception (although Prov is cheaper than metro Boston)!

Maybe like, Delaware or Maryland might be cheaper options? I'm not sure, I've never looked at properties there but they definitely get snow. I feel like New Hampshire is expensive. Maine might be cheaper, but super rural for the most part. Portland (Maine) is the only area I know of that's fairly populated hut I think it's also pretty expensive.
