While it doesn't look too harmless during the day, at night the truth comes out. Providence can overall be looked at as a beautiful cities, but there's areas that are heavily saturated with homeless people and drugs. You can absolutely make the most of the area though, there's some beautiful parks in walking distance as well as schools on every corner it seems.

The area that I live in is pretty good. The places that occupy this area have a lot to do with the culture here. The restaurants and food markets really show what my area represents.
