Newport, KY – A Proud CommunityResidents are proud of their community, which is a hotbed for development. Its beginnings go back to 1791, to founder James Taylor, who named the place for Admiral Christopher Newport, leader of the first English settlement in Jamestown (Taylor’s native state of Virginia). Many of the houses and buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its East Row Historic District offers homebuyers an eclectic selection of architectural styles such as Italianate, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival. New home constructions, along Newport’s riverfront, will add to the housing options here. There’s the SouthShore, a $200-million, 21-story condominium and office development, whose first condo tower (70 condo units) is on track for completion in fall 2008. Second tower follows and will add some 75 condos. There’s also the proposed $800-million residential and commercial development called Ovation. A big draw here is Newport on the Levee, a food and entertainment complex, anchored by the Newport Aquarium. Soon to come is the Newport Pavilion to be developed in Newport’s Cote Brilliante neighborhood and anchored by Target and Home Depot. Other amenities are The New Edgecliff Theater and Monmouth Theater; World Peace Bell; festivals such as Newport Arts & Music Festival, Italianfest and Seafood Festival. New popular dining spots include Hofbrauhaus, Jeff Ruby’s Tropicana and Alex Chin’s Pacific Moon on the Levee. | More Local Area InformationAs the largest city in Campbell County, Newport, Kentucky gets all the extras that come from having a growing population and a prime location.
