    "It’s a lovely neighborhood. Mainly an older crowd, not too many young children. Very dog friendly, and friendly in general. All colonial homes, the owners take great care of their properties. "

  • Elkebrowning

  • Elkebrowning

    "Easy. Can walk to town. There are buses but people in this neighborhood don’t use them. Very very upscale."
  • Scottbriggs
    "Friendly safe environment. Easy access to stores, beaches and shops. Walking distance to downtown. Easy access to leave the island. "
  • Amymcg513
    "Historic neighborhood with colonials and Victorians dating back to 1700-1800’s, right on Narragansett Bay. Peaceful, beautiful, with 2 parks."
  • Michelle J. D.
    "I used to live nearby and work in the historic district of Newport. I cannot recommend the Point as a great place to live and Willow Street in particular. It is not in the flood zone and is a few feet away from a driftway overlooking the Goat Island lighthouse"
