VaHome Team property overview
A five-bedroom, 4,225-square-foot home built in 1975 on Canal Drive in Poquoson, Virginia — just five minutes from Joint Base Langley-Eustis and a short drive from the water, parks, and everyday conveniences that make this small city so livable.

Why this home stands out
Four thousand square feet of living space in a city of fewer than 13,000 people is genuinely rare, and 10 Canal Drive delivers exactly that. The 1975 construction era means solid bones, generous room proportions, and the kind of lot depth that newer infill simply can't replicate. Add a five-bedroom count, two full baths plus two half baths, and a Canal Drive address that puts you steps from the water's edge, and you have a combination that's hard to match anywhere on the Peninsula.
CEDAR LANDING ESTATES and the Poquoson real estate market
Poquoson is one of the most distinctive small cities in all of Hampton Roads — an independent city surrounded on three sides by water, with a tight-knit community feel that residents fiercely protect. Canal Drive sits in the heart of that waterfront character, where streets dead-end at tidal creeks and neighbors wave from their docks. The city's low density and largely residential makeup mean quiet streets, minimal cut-through traffic, and a pace of life that feels genuinely unhurried. At the same time, you're never far from what you need: the broader Hampton Roads metro is accessible via Route 171 and Mercury Boulevard, and the proximity to Joint Base Langley-Eustis makes 10 Canal Drive a natural fit for military households. The 23662 zip code covers the core of Poquoson, a community that has consistently ranked among Virginia's safest cities and where waterfront living doesn't require a waterfront price premium on every block.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy from Canal Drive. Sheffield's Grocery is about a mile away for quick pantry runs, and the restaurant 185 is less than a mile out when you'd rather let someone else cook. Poquoson Parks & Recreation — also roughly a mile away — gives you organized sports fields, recreational programming, and open green space. Kids Island Park, at about the same distance, is a genuine neighborhood gem with playground equipment and room to run. The waterfront access inherent to a Canal Drive address means kayaking, fishing, and crabbing are essentially backyard activities rather than weekend road trips.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is roughly five minutes from 10 Canal Drive — one of the shortest base commutes you'll find anywhere on the Peninsula. For active-duty households, that proximity translates directly into time back in your day. A VA loan can make a home of this size more accessible than you might expect, and Poquoson's stability and safety record make it a place families genuinely want to stay through multiple duty cycles.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and 4,225 square feet give a growing family real room to spread out — dedicated space for a home office, a playroom, guest quarters, and still have bedrooms left over. The 1975 build era means larger rooms and wider hallways than most modern construction at this square footage. Poquoson's waterfront setting and strong community identity make it the kind of place where kids grow up with genuine roots.
