Newport vs Block Island vs Narragansett: Three Years

Four extracts sit on this coast this week, and they are not one Rhode Island average. Newport watches $41,550 on 694 listings, a $4,089 median month, $442 ADR, and 36.9 percent occupancy. A Transient Guest Facility is the city certificate. 2022 already closed new residential whole-homes under 30 days. Block Island, which is New Shoreham, clears $46,356 on 132 listings. Narragansett watches $31,163 on 597 listings. Middletown clears $57,198 on 425 listings. A leftover $41,000 to $64,000 Newport year is the wrong starting number for any of those cells.

Peak three on the Newport extract are August, June, and September. Lows are January, February, and March. September is a peak. March is a low. Leftover Folk-week-only language is wrong on this file. Leave out unverified a 15 to 20 percent weekly cut or a 30 to 40 percent remote cut to blend the four years into one statewide slogan. August is the revenue peak on the Newport cell. January is the hole. Block Island's peak three are August, July, and June. Narragansett's peak three are August, September, and July. Middletown's peak three are August, July, and September.

This page is the four-clerk file. It will not blend $41,550, $46,356, $31,163, and $57,198 into a Rhode Island average, and it will not file a Transient Guest Facility. If you need the famous pin, keep theNewport market reportopen. If the question is a purchase, theinvestment filestarts with whether the district is real. It does not start with a leftover blend.

Four extracts, never one Rhode Island average

Newport is 694 listings, supply held steady, revenue plus 0.1 percent, RevPAR $175. Block Island is 132 listings, supply plus 7.3 percent, revenue minus 19.4 percent, RevPAR $275, median $4,578. Narragansett is 597 listings, revenue minus 23.1 percent, RevPAR $215, median $3,969. Middletown is 425 listings, supply plus 9.3 percent, revenue minus 9.0 percent, median $4,973. Those are four cells. A statewide average would hide the clerk, hide the ferry, and hide a gap of more than $25,000 between the highest and lowest years. Guests already know the mansions from the press and the ferry from the postcard. They will punish a blend.

Do not divide Rhode Island's $6.0 billion 2024 visitor spend across 694 plus 132 plus 597 plus 425. Do not divide the $1.3 billion lodging slice either. Visitor dollars are not host years. Keep each number on its pin. AirROI High on Newport is a vendor label, not a Transient Guest Facility. A live pin is not a district answer. Thetourism fileowns the statewide desk. This compare page only needs you to stop averaging four host years because a guest typed Rhode Island.

Professional management is 26.8 percent in Newport, 5.3 percent on Block Island, and 9.4 percent in Middletown. Superhost share is 72.3 percent in Newport and 68.2 percent on Block Island. Those are craft bars, not a reason to average the years. Matthew's 34 homes and Chris's 24 homes are Newport books. STAY Newport's 25 homes and $2,214,155 are a Middletown book. Vacasa and AvantStay are not on the AirROI top-PM table. Name the extract you are actually buying.

Newport is the $41,550 famous pin

Newport is the famous harbor, and the year is still a watch file. $41,550 sits on 694 listings. Median month is $4,089. ADR is $442. Occupancy is 36.9 percent. Peak three are August, June, and September. Lows are January, February, and March. January is the lowest revenue month. Occupancy is highest in August and lowest in January. ADR peaks in July. A leftover $41,000 to $64,000 range is wrong as the extract year. The famous postcard does not raise the year. Therules fileowns the certificate.

Any stay less than 30 days must register as a Transient Guest Facility. Filing is $15. After approval the annual card is $500 home-occupation or $1,000 non-home-occupation. One dwelling unit sits on each certificate. Post the card at the main entrance. The annual application is due May 31. Code 5.40.020 still sits on advertising without a certificate. State DBR registration is also required. 2022 already banned new whole-home stays under 30 days in residential zones. General Business and Waterfront Business remain the live districts. Confirm that line with Zoning.

52.3 percent of the Newport set already gates 30-plus. That is a listing setting, not booked winter. Cleaning median is $150. New York then Boston book the cell. Domestic share is 95.3 percent. Lead time is 82 days. Average stay is 5.8 nights. Superhost share is 72.3 percent. Rating is 4.84. Those are the Newport facts. They do not become Block Island because you typed island, and they do not become Middletown because the next town is closer.

Block Island is $46,356 and a ferry

New Shoreham prints $46,356 on a clear line, $655 ADR, 37.5 percent occupancy, RevPAR $275, a $4,578 median month, and 132 listings. That is a ferry town. It is not a Newport harbor walk. Peak three are August, July, and June. Lows are January, February, and March. Professional management is 5.3 percent. Thirty-plus settings are 58.3 percent. Superhost share is 68.2 percent. Supply grew 7.3 percent while revenue moved minus 19.4 percent. A leftover $140,000 Block Island year is wrong on this market sample.

Do not write a Thames sidewalk on a ferry pin. Do not write a Transient Guest Facility as if it were the New Shoreham clerk. Do not write June as a Newport peak-three month because Block Island carries June. Newport's third peak is September. Photograph the ferry you can actually take. Thevisitor guidecan name Block Island as a day if the guest can reach it. This page only needs the clerk sentence: $46,356 does not become $41,550 because you typed Rhode Island.

A leftover South County blend that treated Block Island as a $140,000 island and Newport as a leftover $64,000 harbor is the wrong file. Use the four AirROI years. is the Block Island count. is Newport. Those counts do not blend. The ferry is the product. The harbor is a different product. Keep the names apart in the title, the first paragraph, and the purchase file before anyone underwrites a blended ferry-and-harbor year.

Narragansett is $31,163, not a leftover $100k

Narragansett watches $31,163 on 597 listings. ADR is $524. Occupancy is 38.8 percent. RevPAR is $215. Median month is $3,969. Revenue moved minus 23.1 percent. Peak three are August, September, and July. Lows are January, February, and March. Thirty-plus settings are 59.1 percent. A leftover $95,000 to $128,000 South County year is wrong. A leftover $100k Narragansett year is wrong. The watch year on this market sample is $31,163. is the count.

Do not write a Newport mansion walk on a Narragansett pin. Do not write $41,550 as if it were the Narragansett year. Do not write June as a Narragansett peak-three month. Narragansett carries July with August and September. Newport carries June. Those calendars are neighbors, not twins. Confirm the Narragansett clerk before you underwrite a year. A live pin is not that clerk. AirROI High on the Newport extract is still not that Narragansett beach-town clerk either.

Keep $31,163 in the comparison column. Bring it to a lender only as a neighbor extract. Occupancy there is 38.8 percent. ADR is $524. Thefinance filewill ask for the $4,089 Newport month if the pin is Newport. It will not accept a leftover $100k South County screenshot as the file. September is a peak on both the Newport and Narragansett extracts. March is a low on both. That overlap is not a reason to blend the years.

Middletown $57,198 is a third island town

Middletown, the next town on Aquidneck, prints $57,198, 39.2 percent occupancy, $604 ADR, a $4,973 median month, and 425 listings. That is a third extract. It is not Newport's $41,550 and it is not Block Island's $46,356. It does not transfer. It does not become a Transient Guest Facility because you typed island. It does not become a harbor walk because The Breakers is a day trip. Supply grew 9.3 percent. Revenue moved minus 9.0 percent. Peak three are August, July, and September. Lows are January, February, and March.

Treat $41,550, $46,356, $31,163, and $57,198 as four separate figures rather than blending them into one Aquidneck-wide year. The gap is the point. ADR is highest on Block Island at $655 and lowest on Newport at $442. Occupancy is highest in Middletown at 39.2 percent and lowest on Newport at 36.9 percent. Those are different products. A Middletown house is not a Thames house. A Middletown house is not a ferry house. Caption the town the assessor would name. Professional management there is 9.4 percent. STAY Newport's 25 homes and $2,214,155 are their Middletown book, not a transferable Newport year.

Thehow-to fileis not a Middletown how-to. Do not steal harbor copy for a third-town pin. Do not steal ferry copy either. Keep $57,198 in the comparison column. Thezoning fileowns Newport's 2022 line. Middletown is a different clerk. Confirm that clerk before anyone underwrites $57,198 as if it were only a Newport harbor-and-mansion year.

Which property fits which pin

A house inside Newport that can walk the harbor, Thames, or the Cliff Walk is a Transient Guest Facility pin. Ask the district first. Ask whether the parcel sits in General Business or Waterfront Business. Ask whether 2022 already closed a residential whole-home. A house that needs a drive to Easton Beach is still a Newport pin if the parcel sits in town. It is a beach-day stay, not an Easton bed. Photograph the drive you actually have. The year on that pin is still $41,550.

A house that only works after a ferry is a Block Island pin. It gets $46,356, 37.5 percent occupancy, and a $655 ADR. It does not get a Newport certificate story. It does not get June as a borrowed Newport peak. Its third peak is June. 58.3 percent of that cell already gates 30-plus. If the parcel sits in Narragansett, you are in the $31,163 town, not in Newport. If the parcel sits in Middletown, you are in the $57,198 town. The assessor line is the pin. The listing headline is not.

Do not buy a wrong-zone Newport lot because a Middletown extract looked easier. Do not buy a Narragansett house because you wanted $41,550 and a mansion walk. Thestartup stackstarts with Zoning when the parcel is Newport. It does not start with a blended island photograph. Walking distance is a claim you can walk. A scarce district is a district you can show. September is a peak on the Newport file. March is a low.

What the press already sold the guest

Guests already arrive with three postcards. One is the harbor, the Cliff Walk, and The Breakers as a day. One is the Block Island ferry. One is a South County beach they saw in a leftover blend. The press already sold all three. Your listing does not get to blend them. New York then Boston book the Newport cell. Domestic share is 95.3 percent. A guest who typed Newport will punish a ferry hero. A guest who typed Block Island will punish a Thames sidewalk they cannot walk. Caption the actual place.

Do not steal $6.0 billion into either headline. That figure measures 2024 statewide visitor spend. Do not steal $1.3 billion either. That figure measures the lodging slice of that desk. Neither number is $41,550. Neither number is $46,356. Neither number is $31,163. The tourism file owns those desks. This compare page only needs you to stop using statewide spend as a reason to blend four host years. Hotel and boutique stock is already 15.6 percent in Newport. The house still has to look like a house.

Matthew's 34 homes and $3,724,528 are Newport books the press will not explain. Chris's 24 homes and $2,015,257 sit beside them. STAY Newport's 25 homes are a Middletown book. Superhost bars sit near 72 percent in Newport. A leftover island slogan next to those bars is a skip. Write the town the guest already paid to search. Write the year that town actually prints. Leave the blend on the templates that keep sending people to the wrong clerk.

How to choose without blending the years

Choose the clerk first. If the parcel is Newport, you are in a Transient Guest Facility file, $41,550, $4,089, 36.9 percent occupancy, peak-three August, June, and September, lows January, February, and March. If the parcel is Block Island, you are in $46,356, 37.5 percent occupancy, and peak three that swap September for July and June. If the parcel is Narragansett, you are in $31,163, not a leftover $100k. If the parcel is Middletown, you are in $57,198. The year follows the town. The town does not follow the listing title.

Choose the card second. A Transient Guest Facility does not travel because you typed island. A 52.3 percent thirty-plus gate in Newport is a listing setting, not booked winter. A 58.3 percent gate on Block Island and a 59.1 percent gate in Narragansett are the same kind of object. Statewide whole-home tax is 14 percent on occupancy on or after 1 January 2026. Cleaning median in Newport is $150. Use the median that matches the pin. Leave out unverified a 15 percent weekly cut to make the four years look closer.

Choose the guest last. Harbor-and-mansion character is a Newport product. The ferry is a Block Island product. Thepersonas filekeeps those guests apart. This page only needs the refusal: no Rhode Island average, no leftover $41,000 to $64,000 year, no leftover $140,000 Block Island year, no leftover $95,000 to $128,000 Narragansett year, no Folk-week-only spine. Write the extract the assessor would hand you. Write $41,550 or $46,356 or $31,163 or $57,198, not a blend. Leave the leftover blend on the leftover templates.

A Middletown house sits on $57,198. The assessor line is the pin. Walking distance is a claim you can walk. Do not buy the wrong clerk because a neighbor year looked larger.

Can I use statewide visitor spend as Newport host income?

Rhode Island's $6.0 billion is 2024 statewide visitor spend. The lodging slice is $1.3 billion. Neither number is $41,550 and neither number is $4,089. Do not divide those desks by 694. Visitor dollars are not host years. Use the extract that matches the parcel you hold. Do not divide Rhode Island's $6.0 billion 2024 visitor spend across 694 plus 132 plus 597 plus 425.

Choose the clerk first, then the card, then the guest. Newport is $41,550 and a Transient Guest Facility. Block Island is $46,356 and a ferry. Narragansett is $31,163, not a leftover $100k. Peak three and thirty-plus gates stay on their own files. Leave out unverified a 15 percent weekly cut to make the years look closer.
