Why this home stands out
What sets 116 Buckingham Drive apart is the combination of substantial square footage — 2,364 square feet is notably roomy for a mid-1960s single-family home — and a genuinely convenient location. You're 16 minutes from Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and 18 minutes from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, which means two major installations are within easy commuting range. That kind of dual-base access is harder to find than it looks on a map.
GOODWIN NECK ESTATES and the Yorktown real estate market
Buckingham Drive sits in an established residential pocket of Yorktown, Virginia — a city that carries more history per square mile than almost anywhere else on the East Coast. The broader Yorktown area has a character that newer developments rarely replicate: mature tree canopy, generous lot sizes, and streets that feel genuinely lived-in rather than freshly stamped from a master plan. York County is the governing jurisdiction here, known for its fiscal stability and well-maintained public infrastructure. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and predominantly owner-occupied, with homes from the same mid-century era giving the streetscape a cohesive, settled feel. Residents are close to the York River, the Colonial Parkway, and the historic Yorktown battlefield — not as tourist attractions, but as everyday backdrops for walks, bike rides, and weekend afternoons. It's the kind of place where people tend to stay once they arrive.
