Housing

While at the U.S. Naval War College (NWC) for their year-long resident program, intermediate- and senior-level officers and civilian leaders call Newport home. The Naval Station Newport Housing office has excellent resources to help you secure a home in the area that best fits your needs and budget, whether it is on- or off-base or in the nearby region.
