Kerry Hill-Van Zandt, located between Bellevue Avenue and Spring Street, is a historic and walkable Newport neighborhood with hillside lanes and Gilded Age architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bellevue Avenue–Ruggles Avenue corridor, where museum grounds, carriage-house outbuildings, and leafy sidewalks set a polished pace. The Breakers anchors the streetscape with monumental stonework and ocean-facing lawns. Marble House and Rosecliff add a cultural circuit of tours, exhibits, and seasonal events. Side streets mix shingled cottages and grand estates behind hedges and iron gates. Cliff Walk frames the edge with salt air and long views.
