Second this. If you can find a rental near Hope St, you'll be good to go.

There's a one bedroom unit where I'm at for 1550 utilities included. Right on the Cranston line. Property management company is kind of shitty at times though lol. Very liveable space though.

Have you listened to Undisclosed by Rabia Chaudry? She dissects Season 1 of Serial which eventually led to the HBO documentary.

If you liked Crime Town Season 1 I would recommend The Balled Of Billy Balls by iO Tillett Wright

If you are used to city living , then upper south providence or dexter park in the west end are totally fine, and you will find a lot more space for your dollar. There are mostly young families and artsy old people living here despite what you hear from Rhode Island residents who would never step foot in this part of the city. The proximity to pretty much everything Providence has to offer is very convenient, you have the easiest access to 95, you have plenty of mom and pop shops, you have tons of yuccie popups and breweries, and you don’t need to deal with hordes of students everywhere. Also, 3 public high schools including one of the best exam schools in New England. Yes, it has a homeless shelter that closes during the day, and many organizations offering social services which is the main reason for the stigma.

There will be an apartment below me available soon! Through RentProv, it’s a recently renovated 2 bedroom (like mine above) and I only pay $800 a month. Keep checking RentProv for the apartment on Barstow St. right down the street from Fed Hill

Why is it that you can so easily use 3 colons but can't seem to bring yourself to use a single comma?

Definitely not cheap like your typical Chinese takeout but I think it’s worth it. Portions are good, my gf and I typically get 2 dishes and that paired with rice it’s enough for dinner and we always end up having leftovers too

Crime Town seems pretty on brand for this sub.
Bone Valley is also really good.

I would say the East Side of Providence. Wayland Square area has a decent amount of families and is walkable to a few parks. Also walkable to grocery stores, restaurants, parks, etc. There are also part-time preschools that you can walk to as well. Depending on traffic, 10-15 minutes to the hospital.
Source: we moved there with a newborn and had our second child on the East Side. We lived off Butler Ave. We moved to the suburbs for better schools but really miss the East Side.
