1049 E Little Back River Rd, Hampton, VA 23669

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in a sub-2,000-square-foot footprint is a rare configuration — it means flexible space for a growing household, a dedicated home office, or a guest room without sacrificing the tight-knit feel of a manageable home. Add a sub-five-minute drive to Langley AFB's main gate and you have a combination that's genuinely difficult to replicate on the Peninsula. The 1970 build era also means larger lot dimensions typical of that decade's residential planning.

RIVER POINT and the Hampton real estate market

East Little Back River Road sits in a quiet residential pocket of Hampton, Virginia — one of the older, established sections of the city where mature trees line the streets and neighbors tend to stay put for years. Hampton itself is one of the most historically significant cities in the country, anchored by waterfront character, a walkable downtown, and a deep military presence centered on Joint Base Langley-Eustis. The 23669 zip code covers a stretch of the city that balances suburban calm with genuine urban access — you're never far from the water, a park, or a main corridor. Families comparing homes for sale in Hampton often single out this part of the city for its proximity to the base without the congestion of living directly on a commercial strip. The neighborhood has a lived-in, unpretentious quality — sidewalks, older ranch-style and split-level homes, and a community that feels settled rather than transient.
