Whitehall
Suburban Neighborhood in Middletown, Rhode Island
Newport County 02842
It’s good to be king: in 1729, Bishop Berkeley commissioned a farmhouse that he called Whitehall, in honor of the palace of English kings. Today, Whitehall is all about the royal treatment. This neighborhood faces water to the east, but as you move inland further west, you’ll meet parks, berry farms and delicious dining destinations that feel regal.
Plus, if you want to explore other kingdoms, it’s easy to stay connected. “This area is very commutable to Boston, you can be at Logan Airport in about an hour,” says Alexandra Thursby, a listing agent with Lila Delman Compass.
Of course, another joy of exploring the inland parts of Middletown is getting to discover captivating houses – and at lower price points than waterfront homes, too. In the upper $900,000s you can find stately Cape Cods that stretch four bedrooms across 2,500 square feet. Yards tend to be large: don’t be surprised to find these neutral-toned homes sitting on half-acre lots. With ample distance between neighbors, many find no use for fences, giving these subdivisions a natural atmosphere loaded with mature trees and hedges.
Homes with waterfront views, such as those built near Pebble Beach, can trend around $3 million. The architecture is certainly different, too: with a nod to the area’s past, you’ll see bold farmhouses that nevertheless feel luxurious, especially when you account for their average size of 5,000 square feet. The open, airy interiors are contemporary as well, with custom fixtures and floor to ceiling glass windows.
Wherever you decide to live in Whitehall, you’re likely to find a modest park situated close to home. It’s easy to just walk out your door and enjoy a little green escape. Let loose at Howland Park, with access to basketball courts and playgrounds. Afterwards you can walk across the street to Sweet Berry Farm and pick your own snack straight from the vine. The café, adorned with rustic exposed wood beams, invites you to indulge in tried and true lunch items like pizza, salad and sandwiches.
If you’re craving more connection with local businesses, head over to Aquidneck Avenue, which is lined with establishments ranging from lawn care stores to grocery stores to spas. For a charming boutique experience, try visiting Le Bec Sucré, which translates to “the sugared beak” – the French equivalent of “sweet tooth.” Pamper yourself by sinking your teeth into an authentic French pastry.
Established in 1961, Middletown High School serves 730 students enrolled at the 9-12 grade level. The school is known for offering career-oriented curriculum, like healthcare science. The humanities are represented, too. In general, prerequisites aren’t imposed on students, giving them more choice in pursuing an educational track of their preference. Famous former students include Michael Flynn, who was once National Security Advisor of the United States. Another celebrity who once walked the halls is Richard Hatch, winner of the first season of hit reality TV show “Survivor.”
But when living in Whitehall, you can be a well-known face in your own right. Whether it’s by visiting the local businesses along Aquidneck Avenue, frequenting the beaches and parks or simply enjoying the large yard at your home, you can always find a spot here that makes it feel like you found your personal kingdom.
