For an older lady. I’m further south in NK. Trying to find an affordable place (under 300k) and want her to feel safe.

Ha, came here to say this. There are more and less desirable parts of Warwick but there isn't any of it I'd call "unsafe." I believe statistically the least safe part is Oakland Beach, but anecdotally I've heard that's mostly because of high rates of domestic violence and such.

I had a similar thought

It's suprising Warwick ranked so high when "road quality" was one of the metrics 😄.

Why does the common obsession with "Safety" ignore traffic violence? The numbers dwarf random criminal violence.

Because people who live in lower income areas are easier and more fun to be mad at than cars.

Pawtuxet Village on the Cranston line.

I grew up there. Great place to grow up

What do you mean by "place"? Apartment? Private house?

An apartment for less than $300k a month obviously

In this economy?

Look into Lockwood on west short road. You could do okay there with a condo.

When we were house hunting last year, the Meadowbrook area was quiet and had houses in that range. The Patuxet village area had a nice main street feel, but was more expensive. There were some quiet neighborhoods along Narragansett Parkway near the cove too around $300k.

Not to sound cliche but have her move to the other side of the tracks. West that is...Greenwood or anywhere around toll gate rd is super safe. Been here most of my life and my neighborhood had never had more than one car break-in and that was 5 years ago.

.... NK is that much safer that it's worth moving your elderly mother away from most of the services, medical and otherwise?

Okay? You’ll need a realtor, are you asking what areas of Warwick are nice?
