Reply to comment by QuinnHarbin in My partner and I are thinking about moving to Rhode Island by temporaryCognition

Yeah I'm open to basically anywhere in the state. I just want to be relatively close to jobs so not too rural. But rural to me is like a 40 minute drive where you see nothing

Follow where the jobs are. If you secure decent jobs in RI and you can afford $1500 within a 40 minute drive, I think you will be fine. This state is TINY!

Expand your search into MA too, Attleboro, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Swansea, Fall River all within 20-35 mins of Providence. That is more commutable than say Newport RI or Narragansett.

Ah ok I'll look into those two. I appreciate it.

it's hard to get 40 minutes from anything in RI. rural rhode island is very different than being rural in a big state. eg, i live in a rural area and am 35 minutes north to providence and 35 minutes east to the beach.

Yeah that sounds totally fine.
