North End Residential
Beachy bungalows, New England cottages and affordable housing communities
In North End residential, it’s not uncommon to see motorboats parked in narrow driveways, and hydrangea bushes bloom in various shades of blue and purple in July. Three-bedroom traditional homes in affordable housing communities bordering Miantonomi Memorial Park start at $400,000, and farther south, shingled New England cottages, beachy bungalows and Colonial Revivals hover between $450,000 and $700,000 depending on square footage and condition. Many of the older homes here are surrounded by shrubbery, and residents post American flags on their front porches.
A century-old football team at Rogers High and boarding schools on the hill
Kids living in North End Residential can enroll in public schools like Pell Elementary, which earned a C on the educational review site, Niche, Thompson Middle, which received a C-plus, and Rogers High, which was awarded a B. Rogers has a history dating back to the 19th century — their football team was founded in the 1890s. There are also private school options surrounding North End Residential like St. Michael’s Country Day, which Niche gave an A-minus, and St. Georges, an A-plus boarding school with a network of alumni including senators, governors and poets.
Donuts and coffee: a Rhode Island staple
Along with Newport Creamery and their trademark Awful Awfuls, residents of this Middletown Neighborhood can head to Ma’s Donuts on West Main Road for a sweet treat. Order the Boston Cream or Jelly Stick donuts. There’s also Simple Merchant, which sells fresh-roasted coffee from the old Sheffield School on Broadway. Pick up groceries for the week at Shaw’s, or cross Miantonomi Memorial Park to find Walmart and Stop & Shop in RK Newport Towne Center. There’s also Bowen’s Wharf, a commercial area largely populated by tourists during the summer season. Order grilled pizza to share at Bar 'Cino or stop by Baru Noodle Bar for ramen before window shopping along Thames.
Dinner and a show at Newport Playhouse & Cabaret
Enjoy dinner and a show at Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Restaurant, which has been entertaining locals and out-of-towners alike since the 1980s. Community members are encouraged to audition for plays and musical cabaret shows. Local schools take field trips to the Newport Mansions, Gilded Age architectural feats now open to the public. “The Breakers was built in 1895 by Cornelius Vanderbilt II. It’s the largest of all the Newport mansions and the most popular in terms of tourist draw. It’s been in operation as a historical site to tour since 1948,” says Bowser. The Newport Preservation Society also hosts lecture series, flower shows and an annual Wine & Food Festival at Rosecliff, which also served as a filming location for 1974’s “The Great Gatsby.”
Local beaches, 80-foot memorials and the Cliff Walk
It’s not a Rhode Island summer without a visit to the beach. There’s Easton’s — also known as First Beach — which is popular with Newport tourists. Second Beach is preferred by surfers and boogie boarders, and Third Beach has minimal waves and a boat launch. Pack a picnic to enjoy in Miantonomi Memorial Park, the site of Newport’s highest point, a playground and an 80-foot-tall tower dedicated to World War I veterans. Bowser also recommends the Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile trail along Aquidneck Island’s rocky shores. “It’s a free activity. It’s a tourist attraction, but people who live in the area walk their dogs and take sunset strolls,” she says. There’s also Fort Adams State Park, which hosts the Newport Folk and Jazz Fests during the summer.Take RIPTA bus 60 all the way to Providence
In the words of Alexandra Thursby, a listing agent with Lila Delman Compass and Rhode Island Native, “You’re close to Newport, you’re close to Boston, it’s very convenient to the highway.” Keep in mind that there’s usually traffic going on and off Aquidneck Island during the summer season — residents can cross the Pell, Jamestown and Mt. Hope Bridges to access mainland Rhode Island and Interstate 95, which runs along the East Coast. RIPTA bus 60 stops near Simple Merchant Coffee on Broadway and runs past East Bay neighborhoods like Bristol and Warren on the way to Downtown Providence. Although Newport has a small airport, most Middletown residents will head to T.F. Green in Warwick, which offers nonstop flights to over 30 cities. Medical care is accessible less than a mile away at Newport Hospital, but there’s also Rhode Island Hospital, a larger facility over 30 miles away in Providence.
