I live in-and love-Westerly. We have been here 2 years in an apartment close to downtown (our neighbors just moved btw so I know one apartment that may be advertised soon!) and have found a great sense of community here. I work in Narragansett and I’ll be honest, the commute blows. It would not be easy to commute daily around here without a car and even with a car it’s a drag—by Rhode Island Standards of course. 40 min commutes aren’t atypical for the rest of the USA, but I swear that taking Route 1 3x a week has taken years off of my life.

I’ve seen a fair amount od For Rent signs in the area and also across the River in Pawcatuck. I would expand my search to different sites, we found ours on Zillow 🤷🏼‍♀️ but check FB marketplace too
