Fox Point is a neighborhood on the East Side of Providence. Lots of tiny eateries, cafes, bars, bookstores, shops, drs. Three groceries, if you count Trader Joes. All walkable. Parks, two rivers and the bay. Easy walk to Brown/RISD museums and libraries, and on down to the city center.

2,500/mo for a 1br should be plenty as long as the market doesn't continue to go insanely nuts.

Not sure of the ratio but the people in Fox Point are a mix of multi-gen natives, Brown / RISD grad students from around the globe, and a lot of transplants. So, there are a good number of newcomers. That helps with making friends, although I am a transplant myself and found it just as easy to make friends with native RIers as anyone else.

I love it here.

Just make sure you aren’t on an undergrad heavy street (ie power) / stick to the outer edges of fox point or the east side -Hope village to get away from campus.
