Welcome to Providence. May I suggest you look at the West End / Federal Hill area. I have lived in every section of PVD over the last 30 years and I truly love living in the West End the most. Beyond the gorgeous architecture it is a true neighborhood. You will have real neighbors that look out for each other. Plus everything is within walking distance including the hospital complex. Add to this that there is great food throughout and a smattering of awesome bars and it’s hard to beat. Best of luck to you.

The West End has it's benefits, but "everything in walking distance" is not one of them honestly. I wouldn't walk to Hasbro Children's Hospital from there, or to any grocery store.

"Real neighbors who look out for each other" is the luck of the draw. I'm sure some parts of the West End have it ... my daughter did not when she lived there. I have it in Mount Hope, but people I know just a few blocks away do not.
