116 Buckingham Drive is a 2,364-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home built in 1965 in Yorktown, Virginia. With generous square footage for its era and a location minutes from two major installations, it offers a lot of house in a well-established York County neighborhood.
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.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from Buckingham Drive. Grafton area shopping — including grocery, pharmacy, and big-box retail — is a short drive up Route 17. The Colonial Parkway connects you to Williamsburg to the west and the broader Historic Triangle without a single traffic light. Riverwalk Landing in historic Yorktown puts waterfront dining and weekend events within about ten minutes. York River State Park is close enough for regular use, offering trails, kayak launches, and open space. For commuters, Interstate 64 access keeps Hampton Roads' wider job market and military installations within practical range.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
With Naval Weapons Station Yorktown just 16 minutes away and Joint Base Langley-Eustis reachable in 18, 116 Buckingham Drive lands in a sweet spot for dual-installation households. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the York County location keeps BAH working efficiently. When orders eventually change, this address has historically attracted buyers for the same reasons you're looking at it now.
Room to grow
At 2,364 square feet, 116 Buckingham Drive gives a growing family real room to spread out — three bedrooms, two full baths, and the kind of square footage that mid-century homes in established neighborhoods rarely give up without a fight. York County's location, with the Colonial Parkway, York River access, and Riverwalk Landing nearby, means weekends have plenty of options beyond the backyard.

Special Flood Hazard Area — 1% annual chance of flooding. Federal flood insurance is required on most mortgages.
Data sources: Flood zone and base flood elevation come from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Property elevation is sampled from a single point on the parcel using the USGS National Map elevation service — actual elevations across a single property can vary by several feet higher or lower than the figure shown. Use these numbers as a starting reference and do your own due diligence (a professional survey or elevation certificate) before relying on them for any financial, insurance, or construction decision.
Zone AE typically means lenders require flood insurance. Factor it into the monthly numbers below.
