Not every home on Aquidneck Island is a luxury mansion or a Gilded Age estate. While those properties often make the headlines, most year round residents are searching for something different. They want affordability, predictability, and a straightforward path to ownership in a community they care about. As prices continue to climb, alternative housing options are becoming an essential part of keeping Aquidneck Island accessible.
529 Forest Park is one of the few opportunities that truly fits that need. It offers low-maintenance living, manageable expenses, and long-term value at a price point that is increasingly rare in Newport County. Take a look at a short video we put together for the listing by clicking here.Â
To understand how rare, consider today’s inventory. Right now, there are 223 properties listed on the MLS between single family homes, condominiums, and multi family properties in Newport County. Out of those 223 listings, only 102 are priced under one million dollars. Narrow that down further and only 38 properties countywide are priced under five hundred thousand dollars. Take one more step and there are only three properties listed for sale under one hundred thousand dollars. 529 Forest Park is one of them. It is one of the last truly affordable ownership opportunities on the island.

It gave them a stable, comfortable place to live while keeping their expenses manageable. The home remains in excellent condition because of the care they put into it.
