Thanks for the advice.

We've had some people post and inquire about moving to Providence (lot's of Boston refugees out there ).
If you're a lurker and want to ask us locals some questions, here's a place to do so.
I am looking to move to Providence May 1st or June 1st and was wondering where to live. I am looking for a one or two bedroom for around $1000 - $1500 that is newly renovated, has heat / AC, washer / dryer, dishwasher, possibly a balcony, parking, and is within walking distance of my downtown office right across the street from Brown. I would like to live in an extremely nice neighborhood where I can walk around at any hour and feel safe. It would be nice if there are quaint shops and restaurants in the area. I have heard that the Eastside and College Hill are supposed to be nice. I have checked out Craig's List, but that has not been very helpful. Should I try to use a broker and if so does anyone have any recommendations for a broker? Also, what is the best time to find a place? May 1st or June 1st? Any thoughts on where to live, when is the best time to move, and how to find a place would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the words of wisdom. Based on my limited knowledge, I am leaning towards finding a place in College Hill. I work in the Turks Head Building in the Financial District and living in College Hill would be a nice easy walk. I realize that College Hill is pretty expensive, but willing to spend a good amount for the convenience and the nice neighborhood. I am planning to walk around the city this weekend to get a better idea of the what's around and where I think I might like to be. A buddy from work lives on benefit street and he's a fan. He also recommended Wickendon.
