You can’t afford it.

Finding a multi family unit, in any place you want to live yourself, in this market is very hard…

Pizza chef from New Orleans here. Could any locals describe to me exactly what I'm looking at here, how it's made, and where to find it?

Location of a home, the amount of work needed on any given property, and trying to max out on a housing budget all make a huge difference. We saw a house that was great, at 425k but needed work done…a quote for the bathroom alone was like 30 to 45k….

When people have 2% mortgages and rents are the same as mortgage payments set pre-Covid people will never sell so supply will never rise and prices will never fall.

I love when people are picky. Move to the woods and gain equity instead of waiting for it to happen

Yeah, but they will lure you in with the affordable moon pod but charge you outrageous rates for air, smh.

I’m OPs partner, and know she is open to Elmhurst. We lost out on a few bids in that area….she does have a Cranston preference at the moment tho, but we are taking every home in on a cae by case basis.

Can't really go wrong with anything on the Southwest side of RI, or SECT near the border for that matter. Exeter and it's CT counterpart Voluntown get a little woodsy, but even they have their charms.

If I was moving to this area for any reason other than the reason I moved here, I would probably buy something Central Westerly/Pawcatuck. Ideally walking or at least short biking distance from downtown.

The shore 🤣

Richmond, Charlestown, and Exeter you can still find some great deals! North Kingstown, too, which is actually a very cool town- South County but almost central in the state. Great back roads to Kingston- did you say your working at/near URI? South Kingstown is where I am, it's awesome, and Narragansett too, but there's not a lot available. Welcome- Rhode Island is amazing. If you'd like the name of a great South County specialist realtor (Not me or family lol) dm me, or for any questions you might have about areas or schools etc!

And here I am wishing I could move back to Minnesota :)

I've had a great experience at Holistic Heart. They are fully remote now and a little on the "crunchy" side but the sessions are normal.

Where in jersey are you picturing? Lol

Pawtucket

Western RI like Greene/Burrillville/Foster/ Exeter?

Be careful with that pre-approval number. What you're approved for and what you can realistically afford are usually two different amounts. That's how over-leveraging happens.

Join us SK residents if you can find a house

Cranston the cesspool of RI

Johnston. There is nothing else like it.

Block Island. The stuff you see tourist do out there is very meme worthy lol

Hope Valley, Richmond, and Charlestown are great options. So is South Kingstown! All are 20 mins or less to URI. Hope valley and Richmond are more small town rural and Charlestown is small town coastal.

If I could choose to live anywhere I think I’d pick Charlestown. It has low taxes, excellent school district, near lots of great beaches, near westerly (where there’s lots of shopping/amenities). Downsides I’d say are: more touristy in the summer, homes are pricier, no legitimate city center/downtown area

One of the benefits to RI is that you can get a little bit of everything within a relatively short drive: city, beach, farmland, major box retailers, etc…. Welcome! You’ll love it here

Completely agree. If we were going to move somewhere else in the state, Richmond would be one of the first places we’d look.
