A historic neighborhood with various amenities nearby

In the early 1800s, the Eustis-Easton's Pond area was a large swath of land consisting of pastures, orchards and garden plots. Development from 1830 to 1910 led to a boom in construction, resulting in homes ranging from Cape Cods to grand Victorian mansions. Many homes from that period still stand today on Kay Street, now part of a protected historic district. "This neighborhood has a bit of everything," says Connor Dowd, a Realtor and Rhode Island resident. "You have historic houses, all the water nearby, great restaurants, and walkability to downtown Newport, and you're also close to Middletown." Downtown Newport is within a ten-minute walk away, allowing residents to explore some of the best museums, restaurants and events Rhode Island offers. Despite being so close to downtown, the area maintains a residential feel by residing on the city's outskirts. Residents overlook Easton Pond, the neighborhood's namesake lake, which they enjoy for its scenic walks by the water. Less than one mile away are First Beach and the Cliff Walkway, two spots frequented by everyone in the area. "It's truly such a lovely place to live and raise kids in," says Sandra Powaluk, a local and Administrative Assistant at EFC Newport. "If you give a smile, you get a smile back. Plus, whenever I drive home for work, my heart can't help but go 'wow' at all the different types of scenery surrounding me."

Late 19th century Cape Cods and Victorian homes

Most homes were constructed during the late 19th century, which is reflected in the neighborhood's architecture. "There's lots of Cape Cods and a couple of old mansions that have been converted into condos," says Dowd. "Some houses also have views of the pond and First Beach, which is sometimes a vacation home for people." Dowd also adds that while the neighborhood is historic, new development and construction are still happening, which potential homebuyers should consider regarding noise. Because the community is further away from downtown, lot sizes are larger and well-maintained. Prices start at $550,000 for a two-bedroom and go up to $3 million for newly renovated homes.

Visiting Easton Pond and First Beach

The neighborhood is near several outdoor attractions. The closest to home is Braga Park, a small green space where locals drop by for quick visits. The open yard is great for picnics or throwing around a frisbee with friends. There is also a baseball field and basketball court. Braga Park overlooks Easton Pond, which has walking paths and views of the water. A little further down south is Easton Beach, also known as First Beach. Here, locals enjoy soft sand and ice cream from food trucks. As of 2024, the carousel and snack bar are under renovation but are set to reopen in 2025. In the meantime, beachgoers still have access to restrooms, the playground and food trucks. The Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile hiking path along the coast, is also located by Easton Beach.

Shopping and dining near Eustis-Easton's Pond

Residents don't have to go far for shopping and dining options. "We have a bit of an island mentality," says Powaluk. "We don't like to travel too far from home for things." Luckily for Powaluk, restaurants like Diego's Barrio Carnita and La Forge Restaurant are only a 2-mile drive from the neighborhood. Powaluk personally recommends Atlantic Grille, which serves seafood with beach-themed decor. "I might be a little biased, though, because my grandson works there," she adds. Several convenience stores are located to the west of the neighborhood. A favorite is Leo's Market & Restaurant, where residents pick up groceries or authentic Latin American food.
