You might be tempted to Move to Newport but I’ll just tell you now , summer traffic with all of the tourists just sucks.

Middletown is close to Newport and has basically everything,movie theater , Home Depot,BJ’s , all the fast food restaurants except for panda and the road structure is just SO much more convenient for getting around even in the tourist months

Portsmouth is very quaint , big yards, lots of homes have views of the water , plenty of parks. I just cannot stand how far away everything in modern life is.
