We’ve lived in the city for many years so we could definitely do urban but would also be thrilled for some green spaces or a yard. Having a toddler to tote around, I would love to not have to deal with some of the usual stressors of city living like parking, but maybe that will be easier in parts of Providence. We do have cars.

Except for downtown really Providence is the kind of city where you can park and walk if you're willing to do so. Like, Thayer St. is a pretty popular spot, and parking on it directly is tough--but there are several side streets to use, if you're willing to walk an extra few minutes. It's not like a big city where you can be SOL.

OTOH it's also not like a big city where you may have a metro or a quasi-functioning bus system.
