We are in Woodlawn. An easy commute into Boston was important for us so we tried to get close to the 95. But we're walkable to some great restaurants like Rasoi as well as Lippit Memorial Park. I like board games so I was really excited to be within walking distance to Untapped Games. It's also a super short drive to a lot of other great places.

We bought our house in Pawtucket this past summer. It appraised $20k over the asking price (which was actually a bit high for the market) and the appraiser put a whole section in their notes about Pawtucket being an up and coming neighborhood and that property values will grow. Providence is getting more and more expensive but the exodus from Massachusetts is still happening. Many can't do the commute from Cranston or other affordable areas so they're buying in Pawtucket.

I'm not sure how old you are, but making friends after your 20s can be exponentially more difficult regardless of where you live. People get married, have kids, have careers, etc.

Have you tried meetup.com? That's where you'll find people interested in making friends.
