Newport is known for its Gilded Age mansions along Bellevue Avenue, the 3.5-mile Cliff Walk and the 10-mile Ocean Drive. It is a sailing capital with a working harbor, and it hosts the Newport Jazz and Folk festivals at Fort Adams each summer.
Newport was founded in 1639 and grew into one of colonial America's five leading seaports, shaped by religious dissenters, Quakers and a Jewish community that arrived in the 1650s. The Redwood Library opened in 1747, and the Vanderbilts finished The Breakers in 1895 at the height of the Gilded Age. Doris Duke founded the Newport Restoration Foundation in 1968 to save the colonial houses of the Point and Historic Hill. Year-round locals, Naval War College families and summer residents share a compact, walkable city of colonial streets and wharves. Summers are busy with sailors and visitors, while the off-season feels like a close-knit small town.

Homes are mostly smaller colonials, and many cross streets give direct water access for kayaks and small boats. ( source )
