Cranston Overview

Recently named one of the 'best places to live' by 'Money Magazine', Cranston is a highly desirable slice of Rhose Island life ideal for many. Part of the greater Providence metro area, this bustling working-class destination makes an excellent option for both families and professional singles on the go.

What is the history of Cranston?

Located just north of the Pawtuxet River, Cranston dates back to the 1700s but officially became a city in 1910. During this time the city became home to a large number of Italian-American immigrants, and the cultural touchstones can still be felt throughout the city to this day, from cuisine to live music. Currently, Cranston's local economy is bolstered by a number of industries, ranging from jewelers to banking.

How is the weather in Cranston?

Those calling a Cranston apartment for rent home can enjoy four distinct seasons, ranging from gorgeous, leaf-color-enhanced autumns to sunny and warm summers. Spring is the best option for significant rainfall, and winter can see snow most years.

How do I get around town?

The Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority handles bus service throughout the city, though many living in Cranston apartments depend upon a personal car or truck for getting around on the daily. Ride sharing options like Uber and taxis are also readily available, and while Amtrak and large scale air travel are in short supply, both can be found easily in nearby Providence.

What is the Cranston commute like?

"I-95 and the Huntington Expressway both run conveniently close to numerous Cranston rentals, and RI-37 and I-295 are also within a short distance. Commuting is thus generally very easy on most days, with traffic woes limited to greater Providence construction and typical 9-to-5 congestion. "

What are the local media outlets?

Print news is largely covered by regional publications, with the 'Boston Herald' a close second. Radio leans towards traditional formats such as classic rock, modern country and sporting talk, while Cranston apartment residents can find most major broadcasting programs with ease, thanks to a wide array of local affiliates.

Narragansett Park is the first auto racing track in the nation, and the Thomas Fenner House lays claim as the oldest home in Rhode Island. Sprague Mansion is a great place to visit and dates back to the 18th century, making it a hit with history buffs residing in Cranston apartments,  and no summertime is complete without a visit to the Budlong Pool, one of the largest public swimming spots in the country. 

What is there to do around Cranston?

Enjoy a traditional italian meal in the famed Chapel Grille, housed inside a historic stone church, or stroll the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, both just a short jaunt from many apartments for rent in Cranston. Belcourt of Newport is a gorgeous mansion that offers tours daily, and Garden City Center is flush with restaurants and boutiques.

Any annual festivals or Cranston events to know?

The Holy Ghost Festival pays homage to the city's Catholic faith community, complete with tasty Italian culinary treats and live music. The nearby Newport Jazz Festival draws large crowds and big-name headliners, while the Witches' Night Out Market offers spooky ambiance and plenty of craty fun for Cranston apartment dwellers.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?
