This is a very common misconception, but Wayland Manor is on the East SIDE of Providence, not in East Providence, which is a completely different city. Wayland Manor is - far and away - in the best area on your list. Lots of convenience (shopping, things to do, etc.) within walking/biking distance. And, it's a beautiful old neighborhood developed during the streetcar period. I hope this helps.

>Wayland Manor

2nd this -- This is a great neighborhood with lots to do in walking distance. If I lived in Providence this is where I'd want to be

Wayland Square is a little older than my scene, I live over by my preference the Hope/Summit/Rochambeau little village/business district, but second or third the notion that Wayland Manor is the best location on OP’s list.

Agree with this - Wayland square is an absolutely lovely place to live with lots of green space and shops/restaurants and a short drive to Pawtucket!

The Wayland Manor is a great place to live on the East Side while you're figuring out where you want to land longer term. It is the only full service apartment building in that area, and attracts a lot of people new to the area for that reason. If you like older architecture, that would be a plus.
