Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in a mid-century Hampton home is genuinely hard to find. At 2,745 square feet, 102 Congress Ave gives you room that most properties in this price range simply can't match — spread across a layout built in 1951 when rooms were generous and walls were real. Add in quick access to two major installations and a walkable block with dining and groceries, and this address checks boxes that usually require a much longer commute.

MERRIMAC SHORES and the Hampton real estate market

Hampton is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the country, and the streets around Congress Ave carry that layered character well. You're in a mature, established part of the city where mid-century homes sit on real lots with mature trees and sidewalks that actually connect somewhere. The broader Hampton community wraps around the waterfront, the Virginia Air & Space Center, and a downtown that has been quietly gaining energy over the past decade. Living here means you're close to the water without paying waterfront premiums, close to the base without being on top of it, and plugged into a city that balances deep history with a working, active present. Hampton's position on the Peninsula also gives you easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads — Norfolk, Newport News, and the broader region are all within a reasonable drive. For anyone weighing where to plant roots on the Peninsula, 102 Congress Ave in Hampton sits in a part of the city that rewards the decision.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from Congress Ave. Food Lion is four-tenths of a mile away for a full grocery run, and Dollar General is even closer at three-tenths of a mile for quick stops. When you're ready to eat out, Safe Harbor Bluewater and Vancosta's Pizza are both within a short three-tenths-of-a-mile walk, with Stir Fry just a bit further at four-tenths. Legacy Park and Trimble Field are both under a mile for outdoor time, and Eason Park rounds out your options at nine-tenths of a mile. The Cosmic Cafe at the Virginia Air & Space Center is under a mile away when you want something a little more interesting than a drive-through.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NSA Hampton Roads is nine minutes from the front door, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is ten — making 102 Congress Ave one of the more strategically located addresses on the Peninsula for active-duty households. Five bedrooms means there's room for everyone, including a dedicated home office or flex space for the inevitable PCS paperwork. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than you might expect.

For families upgrading

If you've been squeezing into a three-bedroom and watching your kids share space they've long outgrown, 102 Congress Ave offers a real answer. Five bedrooms and 2,745 square feet give every family member breathing room, with space left over for a dedicated workspace, a playroom, or a proper guest suite. The mature neighborhood, walkable errands, and nearby parks make the upgrade feel complete — not just in square footage, but in daily quality of life.
