I live in the 'nice' part of the west end (on the park) and there's still plenty of property/petty crime to go around. Certainly it makes up for it in lots of other ways, but this person is pretty obviously looking to avoid property crime as their primary objective.

OP, I honestly would not listen to any of the advice in this whole discussion.

I mean where OP is is a serious hot spot for consistent daily crime. I'd stay out of reach of the high school. The surrounding blocks there are notorious for issues. You don't need to go far for the neighborhood to get a lot better.

Other parts of the West End don't really compare. Petty crime exists anywhere in the city. But there are plenty of spots in the west end that you don't need to live in daily fear that your car windows are smashed.

The neighborhood and whole city really can vary greatly just street by street.

I've lived in the west end for 12 years. I am aware that it's a fine place to live. I'm also perfectly aware that some level of crime is normal in a city.

Even within the last five years, even within in my small three flat building there have been multiple car break ins and my neighbor had his wheels stolen.
It's a livable level of crime-- I'm not freaking out about it. But OP specifically asked for locations with very little crime outside of Providence. This is a bad answer to the question they asked, as are most of the answers in this discussion.
