Newport Heights
Newport Heights is located on Aquidneck Island, where
beautiful beaches reign and shorelines enchant. Built to replace aging public
housing, Newport Heights is part of the City of Newport’s revitalization of the
North End. That now thriving area includes a daycare, Community College (CCRI),
a multipurpose Community Center which includes a Boys & Girls Club, MET
School (Charter School), and an East Bay Community Action Health Clinic.
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.
This mixed-income development consists of 54 one-bedroom,
110 two-bedroom, 103 three-bedroom, 22 four-bedroom and 10 five-bedroom
apartments. Our energy-efficient homes have all the amenities: fully appliance
kitchens, and wall-to-wall carpeting. Each home is already wired
for cable and telephone, is equipped with a security system and townhomes have
a private, fenced-in yard for your enjoyment. There are washer/dryer hookups in
the townhouses and there are laundry rooms in the mid-rise building. One dog or
up to 2 cats per household is allowed, although there are weight restrictions
for dogs.
NEIGHBORHOOD
We are within close proximity to Miantonomi Park and
adjacent to the Big Blue Bike Barn, a part of Bike Newport. This is a space for
a variety of healthy activities for the families of Newport's North End
neighborhoods. It has gardens for community planting and growing and
trails into Miantonomi Park. Miantonomi Park also runs biking and hiking
programs and a Summer Bike Camp for local youth. Programs are provided free of
charge.
Newport Heights has its own community room, however,
residents also have access to it 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.
We are located 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. There
is off-street parking for its residents, and for those without a vehicle, the
complex is located on the public transit line and is convenient to historic
downtown Newport.
