Porsche Chick-isthmus? Not so. Three bridges connect the island (that Newport is on) to the rest of RI.

One other thing about Bristol is that most of the state is on the other side of the Bay which is not a problem except that the airport is there meaning that you'll drive from Bristol up to Providence and then down to the airport-maybe 45 minutes (or down to Newport, cross bridges and then go up to the airport-maybe a little longer).

Winter can be tough but I put on my winter tires, drive the Bxtr year round and love it.

Want affordable waterfront living? Check Prudence Island with a ferry that runs from Bristol. It is small, not a lot of houses but great water views. Good luck.
