The average senior apartment or condo for rent in Rhode Island goes for $3,383 per month, which is definitely pricey yet not as outrageous compared to the average monthly rentals in nearby New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire. The east coast has always been a high demand and a costly place to live in, but that is for a reason. The scenery is tremendous, Atlantic Ocean waterfront and beaches provide many recreational opportunities, inland trees and foliage are spectacular in the fall season, history and culture are in abundance, and the senior living communities are traditionally tight-knit.
Rhode Island, also known as “The Ocean State”, is miniature in landmass with only 1,214 square miles.

It is legitimately possible to see the entire state in less than a day by car, and all the neighboring states are within a day’s reach.
