Hope Valley, Richmond, and Charlestown are great options. So is South Kingstown! All are 20 mins or less to URI. Hope valley and Richmond are more small town rural and Charlestown is small town coastal.
If I could choose to live anywhere I think I’d pick Charlestown. It has low taxes, excellent school district, near lots of great beaches, near westerly (where there’s lots of shopping/amenities). Downsides I’d say are: more touristy in the summer, homes are pricier, no legitimate city center/downtown area
One of the benefits to RI is that you can get a little bit of everything within a relatively short drive: city, beach, farmland, major box retailers, etc…. Welcome! You’ll love it here
