Newport Naval Station: Greene Lane Housing
Greene Lane Housing
On Newport Naval Station
"Naval Station Newport - War College"
Family Friendly Neighborhood. We lived in Lower Greene Lane housing while my husband attended War College. It was small, but being able to keep some of our BAH and not having to pay for utilities made it worth it for us. We had lots of kids on our street and lots of playgrounds nearby. We also loved having the pool right up the hill. The management company host various social events throughout the year--Easter egg hunt, movie and game nights, 4H club. We had a garage which we didn't use for parking, but it was great to have for storage. Our kids went to Forest Ave. for K and 2nd grade, and had a great year. We were very happy with the school and teachers. If we would've been here longer, we probably would've looked out in town, but for a year or so, it's definitely doable.

"Lower Greene Lane, Middletown, RI"
We enjoy all the outdoor areas to explore. Lots of children in the neighborhood for my children to play with. The older houses are small (4 bedroom duplex is about 1600sqft) and not always well maintained. Nice view of the water within walking distance.

"Navy Housing in Newport"
We are living in Greene Lane Housing. Navy Housing in Newport is managed by Balfour Beatty. We love our neighborhood - lots of kids, a playground every block or 2, walking trails, community center - and we have some good neighbors. Our only complaint is about the quality of the houses.
