Don’t listen to that guy, the area around Mt. Pleasant High is incredibly safe. It’s a quiet residential neighborhood, mostly single family houses. If you go down Chalkstone a bit toward downtown, it gets a little dicey, but even then it’s not one of the more dangerous parts of the city.

I'm back after my commute and running an errand. Thank you! We're going to check it out in person tomorrow during the daytime and the evening. I really appreciate you saying this.

Of course! Happy to dispel any other myths you might hear about Providence. The news has convinced a lot of people that it’s a crime-ridden hellscape when it’s really one of the safer cities of its size in the country. I live a few minutes away from the area where you’re looking and drive through there often. It’s a nice working/middle class residential neighborhood. You’ll get some foot traffic from high school kids after school ends and occasional faint noise from LaSalle football games at night, but other than that, it’s a peaceful and pleasant area.

This is exactly it. Thanks for summarizing the area (and the city) so well!
