Cranston is a very special place because it has so many different facets: coastline along Narragansett Bay in the eastern part of the city, woods and farms in the western part of the city; very good restaurants offering all types of international cuisines; convenience in proximity to the airport and highway; well-manicured neighborhoods; the list goes on and on. I have been a resident here for almost 40 years and have never wanted to live anywhere else.
Cranston is a nice, family-friendly suburb in the state of Rhode Island. The schools here are wonderful and the place is scenic for the most part. A great amount of greenery and places like Garden City and Chapel Hill are a definite must visit! I hope to see more fun things come around in this place and watch it grow!
I love Cranston because everything you need is around a 20 minute radius. I can go shopping, get groceries and get dinner and I won't have to leave Cranston. It's home!
