Newport is the hub of Aquidneck Island and is a celebrated tourist destination for its world-class restaurants, attractions, shops, and rich history. With preserved architecture dating back to the 17th century, walking tours in the Historic Hill and Point neighborhoods showcase Gothic Revival, Shingle style, Beaux Arts, and Stick style.
One of Newport’s most famous attractions, the Newport Mansions, also highlights the city’s historical architecture with the nine “summer cottages” that attract about 800,000 visitors a year. For those who don’t enjoy walking tours, the mansions can be viewed during Newport’s “Ten Mile Drive,” which showcases some of the city’s most beautiful attractions including the Cliff Walk and beaches. From charming Victorian cottages to Modern Colonials, Newport has a diverse selection of real estate including condominiums, single-family, and multi-family houses with beautiful scenery and easy access to attractions.
