Lily-Almy Pond Homes for Sale

Lily-Almy Pond in Newport is a year-round neighborhood characterized by its narrow, meandering streets lined with coastal pine trees, low stacked-stone walls, and weathered wooden picket fences. The homes here display a mix of 19th and 20th-century styles, including Colonial Revival, Cape Cod, and Federal, all featuring beachy aesthetics with cedar shingles, wraparound porches, and sandy beige color palettes. The area is known for its scenic attractions, such as the Newport Cliff Walk, which starts at the South End trailhead on Bellevue Avenue, and Gooseberry Beach, a popular spot with lifeguards and a snack bar in the summer. Ballard Park, a 13-acre meadow with walking trails, offers seasonal events like the Illuminated Garden walks in winter. The neighborhood is conveniently close to local delis, including Ash Mart, and dining options like Zelda’s for seafood and Mama Louisa Ristorante Italiano for Italian cuisine, all located on Thames Street. Public transportation is accessible via RIPTA stops along Ruggles Avenue, and major routes like the Newport Bridge and Rhode Island Route 138 provide easy access to Providence, about 36 miles away. While the Newport Public Schools serving the area have mixed ratings, the neighborhood is also home to Salve Regina University, known for its stunning Gilded Age mansion campus.
