I’m currently renting in RI! My place now has 2 bathrooms but I’m not a huge fan of my landlord & their inability to handle maintenance issues so I’m thinking of moving when my lease is up. I definitely don’t have the money for a luxury place, but I’ll try expanding my search area. Thank you!

In terms of commute, it can take 20 min just to go down a couple streets in Providence during rush hours so …. good luck with that. Honestly, try and find a place for a decent price. The commute’s gonna suck no matter what.

A lot of classic chain restaurants are pretty good (and standard in comparison to their other locations). There’s also many good taco & sushi places here if those things interest you, as well as my favorite hot pot ever (Lamei).

For meeting people, join Facebook groups related to your interests. And go to a bunch of events. It’s hard because a lot of people have very closed knit friend groups, and aren’t looking to branch out.

Riffraff is an excellent bookstore/bar combo, there’s a million fun things to do on Thayer, and Providence drivers are a million times worse than MA 😔 all in all, good luck with the move!
