[quote=Anonymous]RI is awesome. Very diverse, lots of arty-types and foodies, generally pretty inexpensive. You're never more than an hour from the beach. The East Side of Providence looks and feels like upper NW. It is dense with Ivy Leaguers, doctors, lawyers, and academics from Brown and RISD. A house on the East Side is about half the price of an equivalent house in Cleveland Park/Chevy Chase. There are 2 Whole Foods and a great bakery. Moses Brown (not Moseley) is a fine private school, as is Wheeler - a favorite among Brown faculty. Catholic kids mostly go to LaSalle. A lot of people congregate to the wealthy towns for stronger publics, though Providence has a pretty good test-in high school (Classical).  The two best school districts are probably Barrington (because it is expensive) and South Kingston (because it has all the URI faculty children).  South Kingston is definitely much more inexpensive and close to the beach. Barrington is way up the Bay, not the ocean.  it is very sleepy and often referred to as "Boring-ton." [/quote]
