Reply to comment by lovemesomereddit in Is West Warwick that bad? by an000nymous

I drove by the la cafe back around 2000 as a child and saw what was likely my first memory of falling over drunk people fighting... That's still a landmark for me to this day

As a native Rhode islander who no longer lives in Rhode island... Rhode islanders often have a shitty attitude about other towns that arent theirs. West Warwick is just middle class.

Lower class. I wouldn't call WW middle class... I'd call Warwick middle class.

Theres definitely some middle class areas. Governors Hill off Wakefield Street and neighborhoods off Cowesett Ave and/or East Greenwich Ave.

Idk, $300k houses doesn't seem like lower class to me but what do I know.

East Greenwich Ave neighborhood is nice.

It's consistently some of the cheapest real estate in RI. Someone has to be the bottom 1/3 of income earners...

Oh I am definitely lower class. Living paycheck to paycheck in my $150k house dead square in the middle of Arctic (across from AJs) i was just saying, as someone's whose fiance owns his own landscaping company, that I know for a fact there are some really beautiful homes and neighborhoods in west warwick that are far from lower class. And once again, that's coming from someone who is lower class. I wasn't trying to upgrade my "social class" , nor do I give a shit if people on reddit want to basically call me a bottom feeder.

Sucks to be a real estate agent i guess; but im just trying to give OP an accurate description and answer their question. Thats all.

I'm with you, Sis. Only been there once that I know of, to pick up my new rescue dog. Everything we drove through looked typical middle-class suburbia if not nicer, and her neighborhood was definitely upper middle class: large lots (acre? acre+?) with lots of mature trees, woods. Her house was def a notch above middle class 🤷‍♀️
