What are the best places to live in Pawtucket?

I lived in Providence for years. I rented, but I’m now ready to buy my own house. Homes in Providence are a tad too expensive, so I’m looking at Pawtucket. I just don’t know much about the different neighborhoods. What are some of the best places to live in Pawtucket?

Rhode Island
