One thing I’d say about Federal Hill: when I was moving to PVD, I’m super grateful that I went to look at places/neighborhoods. The places in federal hill seemed good, but we’re in not well maintained buildings, sketchy people living in them (they are mostly multi families).

Providence and the East Coast are different than Minnesota housing wise. Most Providence options are in multi family houses with 2-4 units. Who your neighbors are above/below really make a difference. and how the building is managed. There are apt buildings but less common.

Just something to be cognoscente pf
