Reply to comment by MavDrake in For those of you that want that Island life. My coworker brought this into work today. by MavDrake

I was living in Newport up until about 3 years ago. Rent for a 3 bedroom was $1650 ON BROADWAY. Then it randomly went up to like $2400.

I now have a mortgage in Tiverton its way cheaper than the island. I do miss the walkability of Newport, but not for those prices.
