Walkable? Depends on what you want to walk to. Most of the city feels more suburban than urban to me, and in some of those areas you can accomplish many of your errands on foot. So there’s probably a coffee shop, a drugstore, maybe a supermarket, likely some bars and restaurants. But it’s not like you’ll be walking everywhere. You’ll want a car for most other things. It’s not walkable in the way a larger city is.

Compared to most cities in the US Providence feels super urban. I lived in Providence for decades and currently live in Nashville and most of Nashville (within the city limits) feels like North Providence or Warwick, but with less sidewalks. This is the norm for cities in the South (Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville), Texas and a lot of the West. If OP is moving from the South, which they said they were, Providence will be far more urban and walkable.
