Why this home stands out
Homes built in 2017 with five full bedrooms are genuinely uncommon in Poquoson's mostly older housing stock. That combination — modern construction standards, three full bathrooms, and over 2,700 square feet — means you get the reliability of a newer build without sacrificing room count. Add a six-minute drive to Langley's main gate and you have a property that checks boxes most buyers in this market have to compromise on.
ALL OTHERS AREA 111 and the Poquoson real estate market
Poquoson is one of the most distinctive small cities in Hampton Roads. Surrounded on three sides by water — the Back River, Poquoson River, and Chesapeake Bay — it has the feel of a tightly knit coastal community that just happens to sit minutes from a major Air Force installation. The city covers roughly nine square miles and carries an independent, small-town character that residents tend to hold onto fiercely. Poquoson Avenue is one of the city's main corridors, running through the heart of the community and connecting residential areas to local marinas, parks, and the handful of shops and eateries that define daily life here. The primary keyword for this page — Poquoson homes for sale — reflects exactly what buyers searching this city are looking for: a place that trades urban density for elbow room, water access, and a genuine sense of neighborhood. Streets here are quiet, lots are real, and neighbors tend to know each other. It's the kind of place people move to on purpose.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is six minutes from the front door — that's one of the shortest commutes you'll find in any residential neighborhood near the base. Five bedrooms means space for a home office, a guest room for visiting family, or a dedicated room for each kid. A VA loan can make a newer construction home like this one more accessible than many buyers expect, and Poquoson's low-traffic streets make the daily routine genuinely easy.
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's shrinking, 2,722 square feet across five bedrooms and three full baths gives everyone room to spread out. Built in 2017, the major systems are still relatively young — roof, HVAC, and mechanicals all have meaningful life ahead. Poquoson's small-city feel means your kids grow up with space to roam, and you're never far from the water.
