What is the history of Cranston?
Located just north of the Pawtuxet River, Cranston dates back to the 1700s but officially became a city in 1910. During this time the city became home to a large number of Italian-American immigrants, and the cultural touchstones can still be felt throughout the city to this day, from cuisine to live music.

How do I get around town?
The Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority handles bus service throughout the city, though many living in Cranston apartments depend upon a personal car or truck for getting around on the daily. Ride sharing options like Uber and taxis are also readily available, and while Amtrak and large scale air travel are in short supply, both can be found easily in nearby Providence.
What is the Cranston commute like?
"I-95 and the Huntington Expressway both run conveniently close to numerous Cranston rentals, and RI-37 and I-295 are also within a short distance. Commuting is thus generally very easy on most days, with traffic woes limited to greater Providence construction and typical 9-to-5 congestion. "
What are the local media outlets?
Print news is largely covered by regional publications, with the 'Boston Herald' a close second. Radio leans towards traditional formats such as classic rock, modern country and sporting talk, while Cranston apartment residents can find most major broadcasting programs with ease, thanks to a wide array of local affiliates.
