I'm a creative executive who moved to Providence from New York, and found Nightingale Apartments while searching for a great downtown spot that combined the city feel I was after with the peace and luxury of a comfortable living environment for me and my pet!
I have absolutely loved living in this building! It's an incredible place to land in PVD for young professionals or graduate students and, by large city standards, extremely well-priced for everything you get in return. The apartments are
...spotlessly clean and beautifully renovated, with marble countertops and modern appliances throughout. Lots of natural light and no noise from neighboring units. There were also tons of layouts to choose from and I toured several while eventually settling in a cute spot facing one of the two beautiful interior courtyards.
The amenities are ample and well-designed. It's super easy to receive deliveries downstairs, including large furniture and daily packages, in an organized mail room that also has a fridge for groceries. There's a gym, rooftop, and working spaces. I work from home so my home base is basically also my work building and it's been great in that sense. Internet installation is easy, setting up electricity accounts is easy, and so is paying rent. I also moved here with my cat and the pet rent is extremely reasonable! Finally, it's close to literally everything including the train station only a few mins away that connects you to the bigger cities nearby. There's also a lovely Japanese store and cafe right downstairs on the far side of the building that makes grocery shopping instant and easy anytime of day.
I will say, it seems like past review content here that pointed to potential issues with previous management or outdated leasing/pricing practices don't resonate at all with my experience and I'm sure many others who live here, so I would consider those inaccurate and not relevant to the way the building is run now. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the current staff and how clear and easy the leasing and rental process was, thanks to the extremely kind, compassionate, and helpful property manager Jennifer and amazing and highly responsive head of leasing Will.
I felt compelled to write this because I've had a beautiful time living here (unlike the nightmare landlords or uncomfortable living situations I experienced in NYC!) and I would highly recommend Nightingale to anyone, local or not, searching for a place to live in PVD.
