    "Walkable commute. Or easy under 10 minute drive anywhere. Easy access to highways and downtown. Not sure what else to say. There are buses, but there is a definite socioeconomic division of who uses it."
  • Milestonepropllc
    "Fox Point is an amazing & diverse neighborhood with great food options. Very walkable to downtown, Brown, RISD & pet friendly. Parking can be tight & occasional rowdyness at night but that's city life & part of the flavor you sign up for. Among my favorite communities in PVD. "

  • Mason B.
    "So many dogs in this area. Just don’t bring them to the dog park near the bridge to East Providence. Too many parasites. "
  • Mason B.
