There you sit, starting a search for a truly great place to rent in Providence. The computer is deftly searching the websites trying to find that gem, when up pops hundreds of listings. Now, the only problem you are encountering is where to begin. Since to date there is no real Providence apartment atlas, you might call the rental scene here 'uncharted.' Navigating it can be challenging, especially for higher end flats which are less likely to be posted on Craigslist. If you're looking for a modern, high end apartment, you have several great options. Working with a Realtor to help you find the right location is recommended, especially since it won't cost you anything. Also, Realtors frequently send referrals to most of the complexes, so they can typically help negotiate a better rent price than you can get on your own, and often can get extra amenities which are usually extra, such as parking. There are a handful of places Downtown and a few best kept secrets only a 10 minute drive to the city. With the latter you can get more for your money and even luxury waterfront living. So if you're looking for a little luxury, here are some suggestions: Downtown: 1. Residences at the Westin 2. Waterplace Park 3. The Promenade 4. Westminster and Peerless Lofts 5. The 903 Best Within a 10 Minute Drive: 1. Rosedale Landing - Edgewood, Cranston-Luxury Waterfront-Check out this week's Rental Feature for an Exclusive Video Tour! 2. Rumford Center - East Providence in a fabulous mill restoration (complete w/cafe) 3. Slater Mill - Pawtucket Arts District - Another great mill restoration for Loft Living Even I am still discovering what's out there...for more information on these and other Premier Rental Communities, contact me!
