Reply to comment by tilario in My partner and I are thinking about moving to Rhode Island by temporaryCognition

There are many options if the OP is open to location in the state and size.

Yeah I'm open to basically anywhere in the state. I just want to be relatively close to jobs so not too rural. But rural to me is like a 40 minute drive where you see nothing

Follow where the jobs are. If you secure decent jobs in RI and you can afford $1500 within a 40 minute drive, I think you will be fine. This state is TINY!

Expand your search into MA too, Attleboro, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Swansea, Fall River all within 20-35 mins of Providence. That is more commutable than say Newport RI or Narragansett.

it's hard to get 40 minutes from anything in RI. rural rhode island is very different than being rural in a big state. eg, i live in a rural area and am 35 minutes north to providence and 35 minutes east to the beach.
