1049 E Little Back River Rd, Hampton, VA 23669

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms is genuinely hard to find at this size and era in Hampton — most mid-century homes in the area top out at four. That extra room gives you real flexibility: a dedicated home office, a guest suite, a workout space, or a room that simply grows with your family. The 1970 build means solid construction with a floor plan that keeps common areas and sleeping quarters sensibly separated.

RIVER POINT and the Hampton real estate market

East Little Back River Road sits in a residential pocket of Hampton that feels unhurried without feeling remote. The streets here are lined with established trees and homes from the same mid-century era, giving the block a consistent, settled character that newer subdivisions rarely achieve. Hampton itself is one of the most storied cities in Hampton Roads — it's the oldest continuously English-speaking settlement in the country, and that history shows up in its architecture, its waterfront parks, and its deep civic pride. The city wraps around the water on multiple sides, so you're never far from a marina, a boat ramp, or a shoreline walk. Neighborhoods near the base corridor tend to attract a mix of military families, longtime locals, and professionals who work across the broader Hampton Roads metro. Daily life here runs at a comfortable pace, and the city's grid makes getting around straightforward whether you're heading toward the peninsula or crossing into the Southside.

What's nearby

Groceries, pharmacies, and everyday errands are within a short drive along Mercury Boulevard and Pembroke Avenue. Bluebird Gap Farm — a free city park with animals and open green space — is a favorite for families and just a few miles away. The Hampton Coliseum area puts you near a range of dining and retail options without a long commute. Fort Monroe National Monument is a short drive east, offering waterfront trails and a genuine slice of American military history. For coffee runs, several independent and chain options cluster along the main commercial corridors feeding this part of Hampton.
