It's in an "approved" neighborhood of Federal Hill and it has the characteristics of inner city providence neighborhoods. To me it really looks the same as the others I've posted other than being in a more popular section of the city
the point was to show what the housing style looks like that's characteristic of the city

What I posted was a residential street off of a commercial strip, as an example of a more "marginal" part of Providence like you seemed to be looking for.
Federal Hill is a bit of an anomaly for Providence, in that it's one of the only areas of the city with that housing style that's not ghetto. Like another poster said, street view doesn't always give the full picture. But you can get an idea of how well kept those properties are, verse pretty much anywhere else in the city with similar housing style and such.
Like Chicago to Milwaukee Boston is to Providence. More extreme nice and not so nice in the bigger more complex primate cities
Not that nice??? I think this stacks up pretty well to anything similar near Boston ie. West Cambridge/South Brookline/Moss Hill area pf JP, etc. Yet it's in the city...
The big thing about Providence I see, is that it's a very divided city. With some exceptions, it's upscale/affluent east of 95 and ghetto west of 95. Very little "in between" these days, save for areas of Federal Hill, Elmhurst, Mt. Pleasant, maayybe the Silver Spring side of Charles.
If you’re going to call half of Providence the Ghetto that’s like calling Everett or Revere the Ghetto.
While those cities do contain "some" ghetto, to be comparing them to the rough areas of Providence suggest you have very little familiarity with that city. If you mentioned Chelsea, you would be getting warmer.

Even Chelsea isn’t a Ghetto. Or if it is we need a new word for say North St Louis or West Baltimore or DC south of the Anacostia, because they aren’t remotely similar and using the same term kind of makes the term useless.
