Naval Station Newport is home to the Naval War College, the Naval Justice School, and several decommissioned ships. But you probably already knew that since you have orders to PCS here soon!
What you may not know about the area is just how lively, rich in history, and spirited Newport is. It’s no wonder tourists love joining the locals and planning their getaway to this East Coast town.
But before you can enjoy all that Newport has to offer, you need to find a home. While there are plenty of options to choose from, this week we're featuring two historic Newport, RI, rentals you don’t want to miss.
Note: while these homes are no longer for rent, you can find more Naval Station Newport homes for sale or rent.
