Why this home stands out
What sets 116 Stonewall Place apart is the sheer amount of space — 3,230 square feet spread across five bedrooms is genuinely hard to find at this end of the Peninsula. The 1961 construction era means solid craftsmanship, real room dimensions, and a layout where people actually have room to spread out. Add in the quick shot to both Fort Eustis and Langley AFB, and this address checks a lot of boxes at once.
MAXWELL GARDENS and the Newport News real estate market
Stonewall Place sits in the 23606 zip code, one of Newport News's more established and centrally located pockets. The streets here have a settled, tree-lined character — the kind of neighborhood where houses were built to last and lots have had decades to mature. You're in the heart of the mid-Peninsula, which means you get easy access to the city's main commercial corridors without being right on top of them. Newport News itself stretches from the James River up through York County's border and carries a lot of identity: shipbuilding heritage, a strong military presence, and a genuinely diverse residential landscape. The 23606 area specifically tends to attract buyers who want proximity to everything — bases, shopping, parks, and dining — without the congestion of the waterfront districts. Daily life here has a comfortable rhythm, and the neighborhood's longevity speaks to why people tend to stay once they arrive.

Peninsula Memorial Park is 0.6 miles away for walks, open air, and a change of scenery. There's a 7-Eleven at 0.8 miles for quick stops. Most of what you need on a given day is reachable without getting on a highway.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis — both the Fort Eustis and Langley AFB sides — is 12 to 16 minutes from the front door, which puts this address comfortably inside most BAH-supported commute ranges. Five bedrooms gives you real flexibility for a growing family, a home office, or a dedicated guest room when family visits. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the stable 23606 neighborhood has long been a go-to for military households on the Peninsula.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown a three- or four-bedroom home, 116 Stonewall Place offers the kind of square footage that actually solves the space problem. Five bedrooms and 3,230 square feet means everyone gets their own room and there's still space left over — a playroom, a home office, a proper guest suite. The 1961 construction gives you larger-than-average room dimensions that newer builds rarely match, and the neighborhood is quiet enough that kids can actually use the street.
