“Retirement” is such a beautiful word, isn’t it? Whether you’re just starting your career or you’re getting ready to leave the daily grind behind, there will come a day where you will want to slow down and enjoy your time. And since there’s no better place to do that than Rhode Island, we highly recommend retiring here when you’re ready. According to Home Snacks, these are currently the best places in the Ocean State to retire.
- Tiverton
Jimmy Emerson, DVM / Flickr Located in Newport County, Tiverton is a charming small town with a population of around 16,000 friendly people. And with a median rent of just $919, it’s also very affordable.
- East Providence
Peter Rintels / Flickr Care to put down roots in Providence’s smaller space? There are plenty of other retirees here, so you just might find a new community.
- Woonsocket
David Wilson / Flickr Woonsocket sits directly south of the Massachusetts state line and constitutes part of both the Providence metropolitan area and the larger Greater Boston Combined Statistical Area. Still, it has plenty of small city charm and a low crime rate.
- Westerly
Doug Kerr / Flickr It’s pretty much impossible not to love Westerly. This beautiful beachfront community has a median rent of $1,028, which is pretty great, given all its amenities.
- Pawtucket
Doug Kerr / Flickr Pawtucket is such a historic gem, and it’s a pleasant and affordable place to call home. Plus, if you need a getaway, you can be at the airport in 30 minutes.
- Cranston
The Carouselambra Kid / Flickr With a population of 80,529, Cranston is Rhode Island’s fifth-largest city. It’s technically part of the Providence metropolitan area, but if you’re looking for something a bit more quiet and secluded, this is the place for you.
- Central Falls

- Warwick

- Providence
JJBers / Flickr If you just can’t give up the city life when you retire, we have good news — you don’t have to. Providence has a large community of retirees, plenty of fantastic restaurants to enjoy, and rich history.
- Newport
David Wilson / Flickr The seaside city of Newport finishes the list with a median rent of $1,200 and a population of 24,762. We imagine getting to stroll the Newport Cliff Walk whenever you’d like would be a beautiful bonus.
If you could retire anywhere, where would you go?
