Reply to comment by Ragnaroknight in For those of you that want that Island life. My coworker brought this into work today. by MavDrake

One of my other coworkers rents down by the newport hospital. His rent is $2700 for a 2br that's 1000 Sq ft or so with no washer or dryer in unit. Also, appliances might be older then him too.

That "in walking distance " is a premium charge!

I was living in Newport up until about 3 years ago. Rent for a 3 bedroom was $1650 ON BROADWAY. Then it randomly went up to like $2400.

I now have a mortgage in Tiverton its way cheaper than the island. I do miss the walkability of Newport, but not for those prices.

I work out of that area and so I'm in Jamestown, middletown, and Newport a lot. Every time one of my customers asks if I live in one of those places I struggle not to scoff. Make the money to get a place in one of those locations but find it absolutely galling to be charged that much for rent/mortgage. Nah...
