Farmers Markets and Roadside Stands in Newport County

by ·

Aquidneck Growers Market

 

While its agrarian glory days are in the past, the farming tradition lives on in Newport County. Farming experienced a boom during America’s Gilded Age and many small farms are still scattered along Rhode Island’s lush coast.

One of the benefits of living in Rhode Island is how easy it is to access fresh, seasonal foods. Produce sold at farmer’s markets and roadside farm stands are often harvested the same day it’s sold. Locally grown foods are not only fresher, they also reflect the flavors of the local land. We put together this list of some of our favorites so you can enjoy nature’s bounty throughout the growing season and beyond. Markets and farm stands sprinkled throughout Newport County, so you never have to travel too far for farm-fresh food. (For a complete list, visit the Farm Fresh RI website.)

One last reminder: bring your grocery carriers since plastic bags are now banned in many parts of the state.

Best Boating Destinations around Newport, Rhode Island

by ·

Cruising on the water is one of the most thrilling ways to experience Rhode Island. The many coves, inlets, islands, and beaches offer much to explore. Owning a home anywhere in Rhode Island means you’re reasonably close to the Atlantic Ocean. The state’s nearly four hundred miles of coastline has earned it the nickname “the Ocean State”. This, along with a favorable tax environment for boat owners, make Rhode Island’s waters very attractive to boaters. We put together this list of some of our favorite coastal areas in and around Newport to give you an idea of how to enjoy our corner of Rhode Island by boat.

The Best Boating Destinations in Jamestown, Rhode Island

Mackerel Cove

This special spot is sometimes called Jamestown’s hidden gem and for good reason. It’s also known as Jamestown Town Beach and connects the two pieces of land that form Conanicut Island. It’s a favorite stop for locals of all ages. Snorkel and fish from your boat with a breathtaking backdrop, or drop anchor and row or paddle to shore to enjoy the tranquil waters known for great swimming.

Fort Wetherill

On the southeastern tip of Jamestown’s Conanicut Island sits Fort Wetherill State Park — more than 60 sweeping acres designated for public recreation. It’s a beautiful setting, with panoramic views of Narragansett Bay. Once used as a vantage point during the Revolutionary War, the protected coves of Fort Wetherill now make it a popular spot for scuba diving, snorkeling, and spearfishing.

Great Boating Stops in Newport, Rhode Island

Rose Island

This local treasure, only accessible by boat, is a must-visit. It’s an 18-acre secluded island with a striking view of the Pell Bridge. Beach your boat or drop off guests (no anchoring or tying up at the dock is permitted). Tour the lighthouse museum, explore the grounds, or enjoy some top-notch bird-watching as the island is home to egrets, snowy egrets, and glossy ibis. This is also a great area for canoeing and kayaking. Visitors are welcome to spend the night on the Island with reservations, making Rose Island one of the few lighthouses in the United States that allow overnight guests. Daily admission fees apply for all visitors to benefit the Rose Island Foundation.

Gooseberry Beach

Anchoring your boat at this popular, public Newport beach located along famous Ocean Drive is a wonderful option since its parking lot is known to fill up fast. Gooseberry Beach is for great swimming and a truly family-friendly experience. The cove-like area offers minimal waves for a calm, peaceful way to enjoy the ocean.

Fort Adams State Park

This historic site makes a great boating destination. You can enjoy the music of the Newport Folk Festival or Jazz Festival held annually at Fort Adams from your boat but plan to arrive early and stay a while since traffic in the bay is heavy on festival days. Fort Adams’ 6+ acres is full of history and offers unrivaled sweeping views of the Pell Bridge and Narragansett Bay. There is a courtesy dock in front of the park visitor center available for pickups and drop-offs.

Our Dock-to-Dining Restaurant Pick in Newport: Forty 1° North

Pull right up by boat and enjoy a delicious, waterfront meal in the heart of Newport at Forty 1° North. Its marina takes reservations and offers dockside dining on-board your yacht plus indoor and outdoor dining at the restaurant and bar. Enjoy great oceanfront views, food, and drink. Don’t miss the lobster roll!

There are also plenty of public dinghy docking options available, from daily, transient to overnight docks, which the City of Newport conveniently lists here.

Where to Go Boating in Portsmouth, Rhode Island

Dyer Island

On the west side of Aquidneck Island, with Weaver Cove to the southeast. Only a half a mile long, Dyer Island feels like a true escape and is known for the best-around beachcombing and bird-watching thanks to undisturbed salt marshes. There’s no place to dock, but it’s a great place to anchor and wade ashore at your leisure. Remember to plan your visit outside of nesting season!

Gull Cove

Boat right on into this beautiful spot and anchor down to enjoy scenic views of the Sakonnet and Mount Hope Bay, great for small boat exploration. This is a well-protected cove that’s known for its kayaking, bird-watching, and especially fishing. If you feel like going ashore, there’s also a beach walk and good shoreline fishing, but it’s important to know that swimming isn’t recommended here.

Potter Cove (Prudence Island)

Facing the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, Potter Cove is on Prudence Island — an inhabited island and local gem off the coast of Portsmouth. Its sandy beach, idyllic picnic spots, fishing, and kayaking opportunities make it a great spot for family retreats. Bonus points for breathtaking views! There are no public moorings at Potter Cove, but you are welcome to anchor within the cove itself. Keep in mind, it can get awfully busy, so head over early and plan to spend the day. Speaking of busy, if a giant floating boating party is your thing, check out Aquapalooza, held here annually as a celebration of boating life. It typically attracts hundreds of boats at a time, so plan to join in, or steer clear if you’re after a low-key visit!

Our Pick for Dock-to-Dining Restaurant in Portsmouth

Dock at the Safe Harbor Marina to enjoy Gulf Stream Bar & Grille. It’s known for coastal cuisine that’s a favorite among the locals, who are partial to their Cuban and cajun offerings, Bermuda fish chowder, and more. Beyond its eclectic menu, it offers stunning sunset and harbor views and is a dog-friendly option for outdoor deck dining if you’ve got your furry friends in tow.

Our favorite boating stops in Tiverton, Rhode Island

Grinnell’s Beach

The Sakonnet River is a must-experience when boating in Newport County, and Grinnell’s Beach is a fantastic spot for checking it out. Fish at the Stone Bridge Pier or enjoy a beach day on the sandy beach nearby while taking in gorgeous views of the Sakonnet as well as Gould Island.

Nanaquacket Pond

If you’re boating on the Sakonnet River, you can easily slip into the pond by passing under the Nanaquacket Bridge. Bring along a kayak, standup paddleboard, or a fishing pole to catch a few scup. Nanaquacket Pond is known for the calm waters of its protected cove. It’s also home to Evelyn’s Drive-In restaurant, with dock space available to pick up your meal and dine at anchor on the water. Try some of their famed clam cakes and fish ‘n chips.

Nanaquacket Pond Tiverton Rhode Island

Our Dock-to-Dining Restaurant Pick in Tiverton: The Boat House

The Boat House is a local favorite and a must-visit if you’re boating on the Sakonnet.You can enjoy scenic views of the river whether you’re dining inside or outside. The menu is overflowing with delicious seafood options. We love the baked stuffed lobster!

If you’re considering buying a home and enjoy boating, give Rhode Island a look. We’d love to help you find your perfect match.

Our Favorite Summer Camps in Newport County

by ·

Now that temperatures are starting to heat up in Rhode Island, it seems like the sunny season–and summer vacation for kids–is just around the corner. This is the time when parents look for opportunities to help their kids build friendships, grow, and make the most of their time off from school. Luckily it’s all within reach here in Newport County. We checked in with our agents who have first-hand knowledge of local summer camp offerings to find out which ones they recommend.

Hogan agent Kelly Powers lives here on Aquidneck Island and has four school-age boys. She recommends Island Art Spot for quality, hands-on art activities for young kids and the no-pressure triathlon training program called Race 4 Chase. “Kids learn what it takes to complete a triathlon from experienced athletes while having fun. It’s an incredible opportunity and truly inspiring.”

While all camps are designed to be fun and engaging, some programs allow kids to experience the premier facilities and institutions of Newport County. The International Tennis Hall of Fame, the Newport Art Museum, and the prestigious St. George’s School are just some of the unique locations that host camps.

Kids can even take sailing lessons in the same race area used by the America’s Cup. As the Committee Chair of Junior Sailing at the Ida Lewis Yacht Club, Hogan agent Caroline Richards has insight into the club’s summer offerings. “My kids love the program at Ida Lewis. My son enjoys racing while my daughter is into leisure sailing. The camp accommodates both styles. They’ve both learned so much and love the adventure of being on the water.”

In addition to sailing, many other summer camps aim to teach kids a new hobby or skill, such as sewing, acting, or surfing. From soccer to archery, horseback riding, and even overnight tent camping, the wide selection of summer camps for school-age kids in and around Newport, RI guarantees an exciting summer with lasting memories.

The Project REGive Spotlight Series: Lucy’s Hearth

by ·

 

 

Hello and happy holidays from all of us here at Hogan Associates! We hope you’re feeling the magic in the air this time of year. It’s hard to believe it is our eighth year of Project REGive, a charitable program that accepts unwanted, unneeded, or duplicate holiday presents and donates them to deserving causes here in Newport County. Last year, more than 9,000 new items were distributed to our friends and neighbors thanks to the many local donors who participated.

Project REGive Supports Newport County Residents Year-round

Maybe you know the feeling all too well of receiving a well-intentioned gift that you already have or just don’t need. What if those same items could help your neighbors celebrate not just the holiday season, but birthdays and other important milestones the whole year through?

That’s exactly what sparked Hogan Associates co-owner Matt Hadfield to start Project REGive back in 2013 in a year-round effort to connect locals in need with items they can put to good use. Hogan Associates hosts the program that collects donations of unused toys and gifts for children and adults and distributes them to non-profit partners in the community.

Getting Involved Doesn’t Cost a Thing, But Makes a Big Impact

“One of the beautiful things about Project ReGive is that no one is asked to go out and buy presents,” Matt shares. “We are simply distributing unwanted, unused gifts to those in the community that can benefit from them. With times being especially difficult right now for many, we know the families in need will appreciate the gifts more than ever.”

Over the years, more than forty local businesses and organizations have participated in Project REGive donations to help us make an even bigger impact. Every donation helps local families mark special occasions with things they want and need but may not otherwise be able to afford.

Lucy’s Hearth in Middletown, RI is a Project REGive Beneficiary

When it came time to decide which of the many deserving local organizations to support, Lucy’s Hearth in Middletown, RI was a natural choice. This 24-hour emergency family shelter aids those who are homeless due to economic hardship, family crisis, divorce, or eviction. Lucy’s Hearth residents gain life skills to help them create a brighter future and prevent future homelessness.

In addition to contributions through Project REGive, Hogan Associates supported the annual designer wreath sale fundraiser hosted by Lucy’s Hearth this year. Not only does the event raise needed funds, but it’s also a lot of fun!

We are proud to continue supporting the important work of Lucy’s Hearth through Project REGive. Most of all, we are grateful to those community members who donate the items that bring much happiness to those in need. We wish you and yours a happy, healthy holiday season.

MAKING EVERY MOVE COUNT: HOW TO BE A SAVVY MILITARY BUYER

by ·

Making Every Military Move CountBy Tammy Bass and Simi Rush

If your next duty station is in Newport, R.I., and whether you are CONUS or OCONUS, finding a home doesn’t need to be difficult. Virtual tours and inspections, mortgage approvals and closings are commonplace now thanks to Covid. You’re likely accustomed to it, and we are too, as military wives living the military life for 20 years. With stints in Italy, Colorado, Maine, Monterey and San Diego, California, and now Newport, we understand the complications that arise from living far away from your next home. We speak the language (and the acronyms!), know the connections, and do this every day with our clients relocating from duty stations such as Germany and Japan.

Fun fact as we wrap up 2021: more than 75% of our clients who we have assisted in either selling or buying a home this year were military families! We also know that with the opportunity to buy a home in Newport also comes the opportunity to use the purchase as a long-term investment opportunity. We are seasoned in the market to help guide you in the geographic areas and styles of homes that would be most rentable, and we have sold enough homes to honestly inform each of our clients.

Whether you’re planning to retire in your home here, or hope to rent it once you relocate again, let us help you make it easier than ever to buy or rent a house or apartment here without ever stepping foot inside it. Here are a few tips and tricks to buying when coming to your next duty station destination: NEWPORT, RI!

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

It all starts with education, and we’ll help you with this. If you’re relocating to Newport and Rhode Island, make sure you investigate the resources, like schools and extracurricular programs, outdoor activities, and municipal services like the transfer station and tax rate. The proximity to things you need, like open spaces and special learning resources for your kids, or access to city life, for example, could make your decision easier, and it will help us focus your search.

We can help you navigate the Rhode Island real estate process, which is slightly different than other states. Homes tend to be older here than in newer exclusive military communities like Norfolk, Virginia, or San Diego, California, so it’s important to understand the consequences of that age on inspections, pricing, and insurance.

BE ORGANIZED & THINK AHEAD

Start the search well in advance of your need, so you’re not rushed by a lease expiration or other deadline. We have many military families signing now for spring and summer 2022 occupancy, even as much as a year in advance based on duty assignment. So, if you start looking sooner, you’ll have more time to make appropriate decisions and maximize the fluctuating real estate market.

It’s common among military families to invest in a home wherever you go, building equity and adding value to your investment portfolio. This is especially true in Newport County, since it’s a hotbed of rental activity thanks to our history hosting Naval Station Newport (since 1883), the Naval War College (since 1884) and Naval Undersea Warfare Center (since 1869). Consider the property’s rental potential, and you’ll have consistent renters after you’ve relocated to your next duty station.

USE YOUR NETWORKS

The best way to know if a house near ______ (fill in the blank: train station, pond, business district, shooting range, whatever) is right for you is to ask your friends, family and extended network if it poses any unforeseen consequences that you might not have considered. They will tell you honestly based on their experience if it’s a red flag, and you’ll know if you should proceed or wait for the next property.

You can also trust us to share with you details you may not have thought to ask, such as: if there are cracked bathroom tiles or the basement smells, or if its septic system (yes, some properties in R.I. have septic systems!) needs replacing, we’ll tell you. If you need to secure power of attorney or other legal documentation, we’ll advise you. If you want us to help you find a house that might be easily rented, and we will guide you through that and help you understand the implications.

Check out our Facebook group page exclusively for military families to connect with one another about coming to the duty station and rental homes available. This is a great outlet for asking questions, as well as meeting new friends here.

BE FLEXIBLE

Don’t fall in love with a property or even a specific town. We have sold more properties off island this year, even when clients originally requested Newport, because of Aquidneck Island’s competitive market, higher prices, and low inventory— so consider other locations. Rhode Island is a small state, so you might be surprised how close East Greenwich, North Kingstown and even Providence are, and how much more home you get for your dollar. We understand your broad list of needs, and adjust our search to accommodate supply and resources.

HAVE FINANCING

And line it up in advance. We will educate and inform you of the timeline needed to close on a house in RI. There is little worse than losing a house to a cash offer because you had to wait a few days for your loan to be approved, so sort out financing and be ready to sign on the dotted line. Whether you choose to use your VA benefit or use another loan type, we will connect you with local lenders to help you streamline your process and share with you in advance of speaking to them the costs associated with buying a home (inspections and closing costs).

“ROSEWALK” AT 104 OLD BEACH RD IN NEWPORT SELLS FOR $4,750,000 

by ·

 

Hogan Associates announces the October 14, 2021 sale of 104 Old Beach Road in Newport, R.I., a stately mansion in the sought-after Kay/Catherine neighborhood. The home sold for $4,750,000. Caroline Richards of Hogan Associates represented the Buyer, and Kylie McCollough of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International represented the Seller. 

 

“Rosewalk,” nestled in the heart of the scenic Kay/Catherine neighborhood, is just a half mile from Newport’s famed Cliff Walk, Easton’s Beach, downtown attractions and renowned Bellevue Avenue. The property grounds are surrounded by mature trees and lush plantings offering ample privacy–a rare find in such a convenient neighborhood.

 

The eight-bedroom mansion was built by Mark Horan in 2001 and was featured in Coastal Living in 2018. The Victorian exterior and Mansard roofline blend perfectly into the surroundings of the architecturally-rich neighborhood. Inside, the idyllic home is teeming with modern, luxury details including a stunning chef’s kitchen and intricate custom millwork throughout. The lower level recreation space is equipped with a professional-grade bar, a pool and ping pong area, and opens up to an in-ground gunite pool, hot tub and outdoor shower…truly making Rosewalk an entertainer’s dream. This lavishly appointed estate is the perfect home for the Newport vacationer or year-round resident.

 

“My buyers had been actively looking in Newport for years,” said Caroline Richards of Hogan Associates. “This special property had the right combination of location and size to accommodate their big family and love of entertaining.”
