The Martin’s Gate Neighborhood project is developing a 4.23-acre new urban village in Newport close to many of Northern Kentucky's urban attractions, businesses, and amenities. It has suburban conveniences such as garage parking. Martin's Gate is on a hillside in south Newport that overlooks downtown Newport and has excellent Cincinnati skyline views.

The city has a fun history, too. The 1940s through 1980s brought turbulent times for Newport as gambling halls and Vegas-style nightclubs operated in the city. During Prohibition, Newport became a hotspot for gangster activities. It earned the locals a reputation as a “sin city." In response to public outcry, efforts to clean up the city led to vast political and social change. Those reform efforts have rewarded Newport with its current family-friendly reputation today.
