What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Providence

I just love our neighbor's. It has opened my eyes to different cultures and different friendships along my 6 year stay in Providence. I absolutley love D's Spot! Their wings and fries are so delicious! I love going to parks and beaches. Especially The Cliff Walk in Newport. Car Shows as well

It's location and some of the neighbors who are less transitory. It is walkable and changes quickly man's there are great streets towalk

Close to stores and restaurants. Near the center of town. Close to public transportation. Nice older buildings.

There's nothing unique about it, but I do appreciate its close enough to a park where I can sit and read in the summer and wehere I can take my dog.

Favorite local restaurant is the abbey. Close to the city and quiet. Easy to get anywhere via uber or driving

i can barely afford it, but it does have many good restaurants too many bars blah blah blah i don't have anything else to say
