More specifically, in the Narragansett and Westerly areas? Something similar to the walkability of Newport where a car isn’t necessary, where a combination of walking, bicycling and public transportation could get you to most places in town.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely check it out. I’ve heard so many lovely things about the Wakefield area. I appreciate your input.
Check out wickford too. A bit older / wealthier crowd and a bit small but it’s another fav of mine
Wakefield, westerly, Bristol .
warren too
Wakefield, Wickford, Westerly, Jamestown
Wickford is so cute
Westerly downtown
A bit conservative actually. I wouldn’t say college vibe at all. Warren is “cooler” than Bristol.
Wakefield has a bike trail too.
Watch Hill
Warren's my fav 😍
I wouldn’t live in Wakefield or Peacedale without a car tho. The center of the village maybe but most people are spread out from there. And ripta isn’t completely thorough.
Yes Watch Hill is nice, but it’s pretty small and wouldn’t count as Urban at all. Also this time of year it’s dead and the shops are closed and no one is around.
I missed the urban part. I need to not reddit at 2am
>Jamestown
Where are you walking in Jamestown other than a 2 block radius?
I'd prob say that about most of RI... transit options are limited. For wakefield it depends on OP's situation... if someone had a family w kids etc you'd prob want a car. From op's post history looks like a Cali transplant and college aged. Wakefield would probably be manageable more so than the rest of south Kingstown
Wickford, Bristol, south Kingstown, east Greenwich, Jamestown, all nice places off the dome top 🤣💯‼️

Wakefield/peacedale. More of a village vibe tho. The center of the village is walkable bikeable to groceries and beer store plus other shops/restaurants.
