Elmhurst is safe (but stay away from the edges of Smith Hill, Valley, and Wanskuck). Lots of noise right near Providence College; the rest of the neighborhood is quiet.

Avoid Wanskuck and Silver Lake. Lots of crime.

This is how I feel about Elmhurst. It's a nice looking residential neighborhood, but it doesn't have much to offer beyond that. It works for a lot of people, but I don't drive, so it would be tough for me to live in a neighborhood like that.

We bought right around the Elmhurst/Wanskuck border. Very quiet street. Neighbors are friendly. Lots of older people, but younger families slowly moving into the area. We can walk to a couple places, but mainly drive to go out to eat. Everything that we like to do is within 10-15 minutes. I have 3 buses I can take to the Providence train station which is nice. We are in our mid 30s with a baby, so we were looking for a slower paced area. Overall, we love it.

I can’t pick… I have my three that I love.

Nova’s deal on ice water hash is amazing and pretty decent prices overall. Solar in Somerset (Seekonk is fine) has my favorite budtenders. NEA has a super solid selection at a low price. CommCan runs some good deals, I once got 2 carts for $40 and will always give me stickers or a battery if I need one.
