Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue Avenue real estate in Newport, RI is home to some of the most spectacular mansions on earth. This historic district is the product of an unprecedented social race to the top which began in 1880 and ended in 1913. Prior to 1913 there were no federal income taxes, and railroad barons, steel magnates and other titans of the Industrial Age amassed such vast fortunes that there was virtually no limit to what they could spend on their Newport summer "cottages."
Bellevue Avenue itself extends from downtown Newport to Bailey's Beach on the southeastern end of the island. Bellevue Avenue real estate includes of a few Gilded Age mansions which have been converted into fabulous condominiums. A few Bellevue Avenue mansions still remain in private hands and are available for sale.
