3 GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS OFFERING AFFORDABLE NEWPORT RHODE ISLAND HOMES

If you’ve received your PCS orders to call Naval Station Newport your new home, depending on where you’re moving from, you’re likely finding out just how expensive real estate is in the area. In recent years, the cost of housing has skyrocketed to more than double the national average and there has been a 60+% increase in homes costing over $1 million. Nevertheless, military families do have affordable options. Here are three great neighborhoods offering Newport, Rhode Island homes that won’t break the bank.

Find Newport Rhode Island Homes in Redwood Farms

Though technically not true Newport, just north in the city of Middletown, you’ll find affordable housing options that are great for families.

Throughout Middletown, you’ll find plenty of recreation with the water never too far away, plenty of local parks, and hiking opportunities available at the Sakonnet Greenway Trailhead.

The Redwood Farms neighborhood is known for many of the historic homes in Newport, Rhode Island, including the Whitehall Museum House.

However, the area is still a modern wonder, offering plenty of city attractions and eateries ranging from national chains to local hotspots, including Antonio's Pizza By The Slice Kitchen & Bar.

Featuring an above-average school district, families love Redwood Farms and Middletown as a whole for its attractive amenities, resources, and affordable housing.

Point Neighborhood Offers Close Proximity to Naval Base Newport

Homes of Newport, Rhode Island, rarely offer a better combination of proximity to the Claiborne Pell/Newport Bridge, downtown, and the base all at once.

The Point features more colonial homes than anywhere else in the world, so if this style of architecture is desirable, you’re in the right place.

You can expect to be near the water, local eateries, and tourist attractions, such as the Touro Synagogue National Historic Site.

Admittedly, of the three neighborhoods we’re featuring that offer homes in Newport, Rhode Island, this is likely going to be the most expensive.

However, with the right real estate team, it’s still possible to find affordable steals to buy or rent and be near all of the action while still enjoying small-town tranquility.
