Park Newport

This is our first experience in an apartment since 1977! We were homeowners in MA until we moved here in March of this year. We looked at a LOT of apartments in this area, and there was just something about the energy here that told us we'd found our new home! So glad we listened to our instincts! Our apartment is beautiful, located in a quiet area, has a gorgeous view of the bay, and is quite spacious!
We are very impressed with the with the meticulous upkeep of this property! It is pristine... and beautiful . The staff is always friendly and helpful, and repair issues are addressed very,very quickly and efficiently.
The Clubhouse is a wonderful place with something for everyone. The other amenities, such as the hair salon, dry cleaners, and store make one feel as though they are living in a little town.
The proximity to stores, restaurants,and Newport Center is just right! Not too close,
yet not a long distance away.
In case my words haven't made it obvious, we LOVE living at Park Newport! Read More

I've lived @ Park Newport since October of 2000. I can say that this place was more fun in the past. There were more events to build cohesion within the community in the form of dinners and breakfasts, Halloween parties, Christmas gatherings, etc. The library was a place where people met to have coffee and read the paper and talk or watch a ball game. Now you have to have an attendant come and change the channel. Bring your own cup, etc. Its just does not have the same atmosphere period. Now its... "Sterile" like a hospital lobby. Its possible its just me, but I don't think so. Just my two cents. Even if I did go down to the clubhouse, there is no life to it anymore. Feels like its a morgue these days. If more was going on, I'd definitely participate. Read More

The complex has potential, but there are several serious issues that need attention. The household appliances are very old and often don’t work properly. A neighbor constantly smokes on the balcony, and the smell enters my apartment. Parking is poorly organized — many cars park without permits, making it difficult for residents to find a space. There’s no gate at the entrance, which allows anyone to enter. Also, non-residents often use the swimming pool, even though residents are the ones paying... for its maintenance. I hope management takes these problems seriously and improves the living conditions. Read More

My partner and I very much enjoy the Park Newport experience. What follows is why we love living here. Park Newport includes a vast array of amenities: additional underground parking, storage lockers, gyms with hot and dry saunas, programs, movies, pools, a mini market including a deli with a decent large menu, a hair salon, cleaners, activities, muffins, juices and ice cream on some weekends, food trucks, pet stations, many trash areas, toilets in every parking structure, wildlife encounters.... The views of the bay and sunsets are spectacular. There are trails for walking and biking. All of the above is enjoyed in cooler beach weather and the best part of it all is it is affordable. We adore our life here; we have nicknamed our deck the "jetty". We believe maintenance is outstanding and the logistics and work involved in keeping the areas updated, clean and safe are commendable. There are good reasons why there are many tenants who have been here for years and years. I say with confidence and pride that we feel like we are on vacation every day at a great affordable resort. We hope to become one of your long-term tenants too. Read More

The current management team is unresponsive, unprofessional, and operates with a blatant "take it or leave it" mentality that signals they have no interest in earning or retaining residents' business. Rather than treating residents as valued members of a community, they reduce them to mere numbers on a spreadsheet—interchangeable, disposable, and ignored.

Email communication is curt, dismissive, and at times outright rude. Accountability is nonexistent. Management is largely invisible, and... instead, unqualified individuals make unilateral decisions far outside their authority—then go silent when confronted or questioned.

As a long-time resident, I remember when this community was managed with integrity, care and decency. That’s all gone now. The current regime shows no interest in maintaining that legacy, let alone upholding even the minimum standards of respect or professionalism.

Park Newport is no longer being managed, it’s being mishandled. Read More
