The Arcade shopping center in Providence, Rhode Island was built at the beginning of the 18th century. It is he who owns the title of the oldest working shopping center in America.

Over time, things in the center began to go pretty badly, and shops closed one by one. Over the past decades,

retail space has been repeatedly re-equipped for use for a different purpose. However, at some point, even this was not enough, and there were no shops left on the second and third floors.

The owner of the store was able to contact the local business support agency, with whom a new project was developed.

The shopping areas were to remain only on the first floor of the center, while the second and third were to be turned into apartments and common premises.

Now The Arcade shopping center offers furnished apartments to everyone. In such apartments there are no full-fledged kitchens with stoves,

however, residents willingly use mini-refrigerators and microwave ovens. The area of ​​such apartments is

from 21 to 56 square meters. Thus, the largest of them are quite suitable for a comfortable stay of a family of two.

The apartment is also allowed to install small washing machines and dryers. In addition, self-service laundry facilities are available in the common areas.

Such an apartment is perfect for those who prefer simple housing and do not want to spend too much time maintaining cleanliness or maintaining the yard.

The inhabitants of The Arcade really like it here. After all, they live in the city center and pay quite a bit for it.

In addition, they are confident in their safety, because access to the residential area is limited and is carried out only with the help of a key fob controller.

In the apartments you can find built-in furniture, so that newcomers do not need to spend money on its purchase.

Such housing is perfect for all those who want something simpler and at the same time love the company of other people.
