There’s a few decent places for rent in Warwick (about 10-12 miles south of Providence). I moved here in November for work and it’s a decent area, with a lot of shops and restaurants close by. I work in downtown Providence and it’s never really taken me more than about 20-25 minutes to get into the city! So I think it’s a town worth checking out if you wanna rent for around or less than what you’re asking. The entire area right now is mostly quiet but I imagine things will pick back up during the spring and summertime. The entire Narragansett Bay area has a very Cape Cod-feel to it.
