Newport Heights

Newport Heights is a mixed-income development located on Aquidneck Island, where beautiful beaches reign and shorelines enchant. It is near the Newport Naval Base and just minutes away from the famed ?Summer Cottages? built in the 19th century on Bellevue Avenue ? The Breakers, The Elms, Chateau-sur-Mer, Marble House, and more.

A diverse population has found a home in this completely reconstructed housing development, originally built in 1939 to temporarily house Navy personnel and now featuring pitched roofs, colorful wood clapboards and lovely plantings.

In total, there are 299 units. There are 54 one-bedroom, 110 two-bedroom, 103 three-bedroom, 22 four-bedroom and 10 five-bedroom apartments. There are washer/dryer hookups in the townhouses and there are laundry rooms in the mid-rise building. One dog or cat per household is allowed, although there are weight and breed restrictions for dogs. Smoking is allowed in apartments only.

The City of Newport?s revitalization of the North End is a now thriving area which includes a daycare, Community College (CCRI), a multipurpose Community Center which includes a Boys & Girls Club, MET School (Charter School), and a newly opened East Bay Community Action Health Clinic.

Newport Heights has its own community room; it also shares the Florence Gray Multipurpose Center located adjacent to the property. The Florence Gray center hosts many multicultural events for the residents of the North End of Newport.
