Developed on former farmlands, these affluent subdivisions are dominated by family-minded professionals and business executives. The nearer edge of the Newport area consists of some lovely old farmhouses. Newport West Condominiums are off Newport just north of M-14 and adjacent to Bird Hills Park. Large custom-built homes along Blueberry Lane and west of Newport in Scio Township are comparably priced.
Renters are rare to nonexistent in Newport.
This neighborhood lies within the First Ward. Schools are Wines Elementary, Forsythe Middle School, and Pioneer High.
