Best kept secrets of East Providence, RI
I'm single, late 50s, and The unemployment rate is 3.4%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $79,660 in East Providence. With a population of 46,970, East Providence is a smaller city. Rent is about $1,262/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $322,100 on average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Growing food scene
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Not enough green space
I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
