Rhode Islanders have many reasons to be proud of their state capital, and now the rest of the country appears to be taking notice as well. After analyzing data and statistics from its Charm index, RentLingo.com has announced that Providence, Rhode Island has been ranked as the third most charming state capital in the U.S., as well as the country’s 12th overall most charming small city. 
The website’s Charm Index ranks cities based on a combination of several factors, including the affordability of local businesses, ratings of nearby restaurants, crime statistics, locally owned versus chain businesses, and the overall activity of the area, including the density of nearby amenities such as gyms, bike paths, parks, etc. After collecting a charm score for every street, the data is then combined and averaged out to find the city’s overall charm score. Providence received an overall score of 86.29, trailing only two other U.S. state capitals (Boston 93.47 and Annapolis 87.49). Downcity, and specifically Union Street, were cited as the most desirable areas of Providence due to their easy access to public plazas, locally owned businesses, historic districts, and highly ranked restaurants. Providence real estate includes a wonderful blend of historic architecture and contemporary construction. Whether you’re looking for a converted warehouse loft, a high-rise penthouse, or a 19th century Colonial, Providence and the East Side have something for all preferences.
