Providence Overview

Rhode Island’s capital and New England’s third-largest city, Providence combines big city amenities with small town livability. The city’s transformation into a destination for smart, passionate artists and artisans sees it regularly outperform cities like Boston and New York in quality of life--whether that’s outstanding food or internationally recognized arts events. Providence’s storied history, thriving arts scene and robust nightlife make it a strong draw for creatives of all stripes, and its world-class schools—including Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design—ensure the constant influx of new and exciting people and ideas. Life in Providence apartments is truly an experience to be had!

Why live in Providence, RI?

Providence is one of the most dynamic, affordable cities on the East Coast. Its location means you can work in downtown Boston but live in Providence apartments at a fraction of the price--and still have a shorter, easier commute than many Boston residents! Its food scene is consistently ranked among the best in the nation. The culture is as exciting, diverse, and fun as you could expect from a big city. And whether you know it or not, Rhode Island has the best beaches in New England (yes, they’re even better than Cape Cod)!
