    "Itโ€™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. "
  • Vanessa G.
    "its a historic area with a great location (right next to the transportation station, the harbor, the shops, the Navy base, and not far from everything else)"
  • Elkebrowning
    "Garden tours, outdoor concerts, Point block parties, Point lunches at Belleโ€™s, etc. I am only here during summer season - feel so very lucky to live here!!"
  • Elkebrowning
    "Everyone is walking their dogs and knows my dogโ€™s name. Itโ€™s paradise for dog owners. Enjoy dog friendly parks at Storer or Battery Park and watch the sunset. "

  • Bookmd
    "Easy. Can walk to town. There are buses but people in this neighborhood donโ€™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 1700-1800โ€™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"
