Newport’s west side is getting a luxury housing makeover—with 11 sleek, 2,200-square-foot homes featuring rooftop decks and EV chargers, priced around half a million bucks. Led by Urban Community Developers and backed by local financing and tax-exempt bonds, the project aims to revitalize empty lots and boost the neighborhood’s economy. Mayor’s thrilled, calling it a sign of growth—but longtime residents are wary, fearing rising property taxes and displacement. Developers promise neighborhood benefits, including home improvement grants and beautification plans, hoping to strike a balance between progress and preserving community roots.
