For an older lady. I’m further south in NK. Trying to find an affordable place (under 300k) and want her to feel safe.

Why does the common obsession with "Safety" ignore traffic violence? The numbers dwarf random criminal violence.

Ha, came here to say this. There are more and less desirable parts of Warwick but there isn't any of it I'd call "unsafe." I believe statistically the least safe part is Oakland Beach, but anecdotally I've heard that's mostly because of high rates of domestic violence and such.

What do you mean by "place"? Apartment? Private house?

I had a similar thought

An apartment for less than $300k a month obviously

Look into Lockwood on west short road. You could do okay there with a condo.

Greenwood section. Cute houses

When we were house hunting last year, the Meadowbrook area was quiet and had houses in that range. The Patuxet village area had a nice main street feel, but was more expensive. There were some quiet neighborhoods along Narragansett Parkway near the cove too around $300k.

It's suprising Warwick ranked so high when "road quality" was one of the metrics 😄.

.... NK is that much safer that it's worth moving your elderly mother away from most of the services, medical and otherwise?

Because people who live in lower income areas are easier and more fun to be mad at than cars.

Okay? You’ll need a realtor, are you asking what areas of Warwick are nice?
