south county is great if you dont mind a little bit of a drive. i live in edgewood in cranston which is full of really nice old colonial homes and not as expensive as the east side if you are buying. and it is about 5 minutes from RIH. barrington is good, a little annoying with traffic but if you have kids, it has the best public schools in the state. if you need a mortgage here, coastway credit union has a doctors only mortgage, no debt taken into consideration. tina ricco was my contact person.
