Newport resident here. If I didn’t buy my place in 2007 there’s a zero percent chance I’d be looking for a home here as much as I love it. Middletown & Portsmouth have all the equestrian amenities on the island. I have a few friends into that scene but I have no idea of the costs. Tiverton is great though. My sister and her husband found a great little farm out there not to long ago. 2+ acres. They have livestock, are comfortable, and love there little plot. Most of our friends that have bought in the last few years did in either Tiverton or Bristol. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
