It's not generally a great place to live.

No offense but please don’t bring that judgment with you when/if you move here. Respect the people that live here (already) or those that are claimed to live in more “undesirable” places.

I wasn't sure if it was a serious piece of advice because there wasn't enough information given. I genuinely don't know anything about the place and I wasn't sure if I was being told to check out this location sincerely or if the comment was dismissive.

I was saying in your price range. Like all cities there are good and bad neighborhoods. Most rents in Rhode Island are high. You use to find it reasonably to live. Now landlords want outrageous amounts for what you pay for. Always be careful that you don't get scamed. Good luck on your hunt.

I have lived in Woonsocket for over 30 years now. My house was broken into once, and my car twice over that timespan. While there are drugs and crimes everywhere, I feel safe here. The rents do range from 1200-25,00 a month, presumably depending upon how long the property owner has owned it and how many rooms it has and so on. I do believe that it is possible to find something for your price.

Thank you that's really good to know. Most other places sound like they're definitely not in my price range. I've only ever lived in "bad" neighborhoods and I've been broken into a few times but most of the time it's been fine for me. Broken into once in 30 years sounds like a really good statistic to me.
