美国最贵的一条街就位于美国最小的洲的一角 两边全是奢华的豪宅 房主不少都是由于没落交不起房产税所以把房子捐给了政府 看来房产税的作用真的是惊人的。。。

We continued into the more densely populated are to see more of these huge mansions. Incredible to see all the details as we explored the streets. through this area. Definitely want to return for a walk through the neighborhood some day.

Drive almg to see at least a glimpse of most all of the Mansions. No traffic this time of year. Easy drive.

This street is really pretty but we didn't get to enjoy it as much as we would've if the weather was warmer. I would've loved to stop at more of the houses just to observe them but with the wind the way it was, we drove which didn't leave us much time to see all we would've liked to have seen.

This street is a treat to drive down. From this lane you can see all of the estates. Also, at the start of the street is a nice shopping center where the original casino used to be and where the tennis hall of fame is now.

A stretch of road of about a mile or so lined up with shops, restaurants, museums and mansions. Feels good and exhilarated walking down that stretch. Two three story buildings some with beautiful architecture, most of them charming colonial houses.

Drive slowly down Bellevue Avenue (speed limit is 25 mph anyway) or better, walk, and be totally awed by the larger-than-life mansions on each side - it makes Beverly Hills look like a poor neighborhood. Nothing quite prepares you for the sights of mansions that were built during the Colonial era to the Gilded Age when America's industrial tycoons had unlimited access to money and resources - and labor - to realize their visions. And yet, these were just "summer cottages" of the rich, who used them only some 8-12 weeks each year while "vacationing" - the rest of the time was spent at their homes and offices elsewhere, like New York. Then visit several of the mansions and walk through room by room - no other street in America offers so many mansions worth visiting. Take in at least The Breakers, Marble House and The Elms - bur there are at least another 6 worth a visit that are managed by The Preservation Society of Newport County. Don't miss this while in Newport, Rhode Island!

It's a beautiful street lined with America's castles. Well worth a trip and worth the price to see the houses. Each house has its own unique personality!

nothing special, I didn't really find it so great. there is a lovely art gallery there, however, and the owner is very interesting.

Driving and walking this historic street in Newport brings you back to a time of ridiculous wealth and ostentation. Mansion after mansion after mansion. Beautiful works of art. Mastery of architecture. But the money that built them is just ridiculous. A sight to see in Newport. Did not tour any of the mansions as I refuse to pay for that.

It was a pleasure to see Bellevue Avenue looking so good after 40 years away. A delight to see all the great Newport mansion lining the Avenue as well as the commercial district. Hotel Viking is remarkably upgraded over the years, while the Bellevue Avenue shopping center which I remember opening in the 1950's looks so seedy and sad. Great opportunity, but not sure for what.

This road has may of the mansions (from the days of the rich and famous) that can be toured. We only did the Breakers. You could probably tour 3 of them in a day.

Actually the original owners called these summer homes but in actuality they are mansions & each has it's own character. The gates, fences and walls of Bellevue Avenue, dating from the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries, represent the work of a number of prominent American architects. These enclosures made of brick, stone, wood andiron reflect a variety of construction methods, materials and historic revival styles. When taken as a whole, all of these gates, walls, and fences serve as a character-defining framework for Bellevue Avenue; they are the first elements an individual sees and encounters. These mansions are open now. (Oh I bought the replica of the Chateau-sur-mer for a tree ornament as I like unique items that have a meaning on my tree) OCTOBER 14 - NOVEMBER 21, 2014The Breakers, Chateau-sur-Mer, The Elms, Marble House & Rosecliff Open daily

Liked the incredible variety of mansions, the range of taste and lack of same, the landscaping of magnificent trees with their trunkd blackened by rain and remaining leaves a shiny orange and golden hue.

The point of this street is to go along it and look at the houses, read the info-boards.You won't see anything from your car and you'll get a damn-sight fitter walking too ! ;o)
