I think 2k is a stretch. Maybe $2200. Our place even allowed dogs. I think if you look outside or the East Side you can find something (near Brown.) We rented a place in Federal Hill in PVD for that price that had 3 beds and I genuinely liked our neighborhood. I never felt unsafe and lots of great restaurants within a reasonable walk. Only reason we moved is we had a baby in Aug and a third floor walk up was a problem for us so we decided to finally buy something. The building we were in was well cared for. In the 6 months we were there the stairwells were painted, and they were regularly cleaned by a cleaning service. Also, our landlord regularly and quickly responded to our service requests. (V2 management I think.) Admittedly we were a bit limited in our rental options bc we have a dog as well. So I’d guess actually if you need less or equal to 2 beds you might be able to find something around there.

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)!

Thanks that's encouraging. We may be able to swing that price if there are good job opportunities there.

OP is open to the entire state! They can find something with that degree of flexibility.
