Housing values & prices have increased 50 - 150% within the past year in RI.
If you would prefer to live in a wooded area, look in the Coventry (moderate), East Greenwich (expensive) and Exeter (moderate to expensive) areas I used to live in West Warwick, stay away from there.
RI has tons of good bars and restaurants, a decent amount of live music, mostly around the Provdence area, 15 minutes from Warwick.
Most people drive like morons. Using your turn signal on the highway is considered a sign of weakness.
Good luck.
