One of the first industrial cities in the United States, Providence has rebranded itself as the "Creative Capital." Thanks to the presence of seven colleges and universities, including Brown and the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence prides itself on being a friendly, educated, eclectic small city.
Providence is home to about 180,000 people, however, don't let the small number deceive you. The surrounding areas, including parts of southern Massachusetts, are included in the metropolitan area of Providence and push the population up towards 1.6 million. Given its proximity to both Boston (1 hour) and New York City (3.5 hours), finding an apartment for rent in Providence, Rhode Island presents an alternative for those who want a smaller, more intimate city of residence.
