I love it here! Moved down here from Boston a couple of years ago, and really enjoy the cost of living, and variety of A caliber Restauraunts that don't seem to break your wallet the way Boston's do. Came here for work, and was hesitant, but glad I made the move. There are so many awesome Italian delis and restauraunts on Federal Hill like "Roma", or "Capricios". And, the prices are so much more reasonable compared to Boston restaurants. I found out the reason why so many great restauraunts are here, is because of the foremost culinary school in the US is located here, Johnson and Whales. Anyways, love it down here for the cheap cost of living, food and relative quiet compared to Boston. And the ocean routes here are 2nd to none. I can take a trip to Bristol, Newport, Little Compton, or East Greenwich and arrive in 20minutes to 1/2 hour. Where else in Boston can you see natural beauty like that in a short distance??

I really Enjoy living here. It's a very low traffic street in a nice, great bang for the buck neighborhood of Providence. Compared to the rest of the East Side, this part of it, Mt. Hope, is a great value. Many condo conversions of 3 family houses have happened here in the last 6-8 years, really helping to upgrade the neighborhood. It had a little bit of a reputation 8-10 years ago, and that seemed to have kept it down some. But the recent developments going on in every street of the Mt Hope area have really gentrified the neighborhood, attracting young professionals, professors from Brown University, etc and has made the area thrive. It's still a pretty good bang for the buck, but it's slowly growing in demand and prices going up. I suggest anyone jump on this opportunity as an investor or home owner, because I'm sure it won't last long! Hey, I and many others love it here. Just my 2 cents.
