Providence, Rhode Island

In 1636, the city of Providence and eventual capital of the state of Rhode Island came into being. Founded by Roger Williams, a religious exile, the city was apparently so named because of "God's merciful Providence" which led Williams and his band of settlers to the head of the Providence River at the mouth of Narragansett Bay. It now boasts eight hospitals and seven institutions of higher learning, including Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and as of 2009 re-branded itself as the "creative capital" in an effort to showcase its arts and education resources. The city's previous official slogan "the Renaissance city," heralded the fact that it is one of the country's oldest cities and that many of its original buildings and landscaping still remain intact.

It is in the heart of this community that the Regency Plaza apartments in downtown Providence, RI, are located, near I-95 and off Washington Street. Just in front of the Regency Plaza property is a convenient RIPTA bus stop, allowing easy access to the rest of the city. In addition, our apartments rentals in downtown Providence, RI, include easy access to Routes 195 and 165, and commuter rail lines to both Boston and New York are easily accessible. Regency Plaza’s central location offers easy access to the entire city via bus, car and on foot, giving residents an opportunity to explore all that Providence has to offer.

If choosing to explore the city on foot, you'll find that our Providence, RI, downtown apartment rentals are within easy reach of the city's financial district, which contains both cultural activities and several centers of civic interest. As well, Regency Plaza lies within easy walking distance of the Providence Place Mall, which contains not only mainstream stores, but many unique and boutique shops as well. If food is your pleasure, the Trinity Brew House, Alforno Restaurant and Cav Restaurant are all within easy reach of your downtown Providence, RI, apartment.

The Kennedy Plaza is located in downtown Providence, making finding something to do on long, lazy Rhode Island summer days an easy task. Kennedy Plaza is a haven for artists, crafters and booksellers to ply their wares, and features a monthly summer Market Bazaar. The Roger Williams Zoo is close to downtown, and is currently involved in the Red Wolf Recovery Program to assist this endangered species.
