I don't mean it get into your personal life, but you mentioned you are female, single, and in your forties. Do you aspire to meet a potential beau, or beauess? If so, I'm not sure moving to a "Shady Pines" town is the best way to meet people. Circulate, Darling, circulate! Move to the East Side, or downtown, where there are plenty of people and lots to do. Meet interesting people and find yourself a community of friends. Get involved in the many cultural and social opportunities that only the East Side and downtown affords. Somehow, I just don''t think Wickford affords these opportunities, and I think it would be very difficult for a single person to integrate or socially break into a married sort of community.
There's a women in my brownstone who is in her late fifties, and when she broke up with her long-time lover, she ditched the splendor of Coventry for the city, and has made quite a good life for herself -- many friends, she dates, and she's really happy being around a diverse bunch of people, including college kids.
If you're not looking to integrate with a community of people, if you're not looking to meet a partner, then totally disregard my suggestion. In any event, best of luck!

Yes AlfieBoy would love to make friends and have a beau if there is one for me. Are there names for particular neighborhood or townhouse complexes you would especially recommend?

There's a beau for you. Just make yourself available. Good old Alfieboy knows about these things. Positioning yourself geographically and being open to new experiences are key.
Well, there aren't really "complexes" on the East Side of Providence. It's the oldest part of historic Providence, so it's mostly these wonderful old single and multifamily houses. It's pretty urban, which may or may not be to your taste.
Ah yes, the east side, home of the partying Brown U crowd and the artsy RISD folks. Although there are areas you can avoid the late night crowds, the east side is not where I would settle. If it's the west shore beaches that draw you, perhaps going even a bit south of Wickford to Narragansett might be a better move. There are many professionals who work in Providence but live on the west bay so you might meet someone that way but there's no reason you can't go to clubs and events in Providence. It isn't so far away that you have to pack an overnight bag and a picnic lunch, yanno.
