Why this home stands out
What sets 117 Benjamins Court apart is the combination of generous square footage — 3,139 finished feet across five bedrooms — and its remarkably strategic location. York County addresses in this zip code are genuinely rare in how efficiently they connect you to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and the broader Peninsula corridor, all without the congestion that plagues more urban Hampton Roads neighborhoods.
ALL OTHERS AREA 112 and the Seaford real estate market
Seaford sits in the southwestern corner of York County, a part of the Virginia Peninsula that tends to fly under the radar compared to louder neighbors like Williamsburg or Newport News — and that's exactly the point. The community has a quieter, established character: mature trees, winding residential streets, and a genuine sense of remove from the bustle. York County itself is one of the stronger jurisdictions on the Peninsula, known for well-maintained infrastructure and a relatively low-density feel that's hard to find this close to major employment centers. Benjamins Court is a cul-de-sac address, which means minimal through-traffic and a pocket of calm that larger subdivisions rarely deliver. The Seaford, Virginia 23696 zip code covers a stretch of land between the York River and Poquoson, giving the area a distinctly coastal, wooded character. If you value space, privacy, and easy access to the Peninsula's military and commercial corridors without paying a Williamsburg premium, Seaford checks a lot of boxes.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. The Seaford area connects quickly to Route 17 and the broader York County road network, putting grocery runs, pharmacies, and dining within a short drive. The York River State Park is a short hop away for hiking, kayaking, and waterfront access. Williamsburg's shopping, dining, and entertainment district sits roughly 20 minutes northwest, while Newport News and Hampton are accessible to the south via Route 17 and Interstate 64. The Peninsula Town Center in Hampton offers a full range of retail and restaurant options. For outdoor recreation closer to home, Seaford's proximity to the York River gives the whole area a low-key, nature-forward personality.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
For military families, 117 Benjamins Court is about as well-positioned as a Peninsula address gets. Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is roughly 13 minutes away, and Joint Base Langley-Eustis clocks in at about 15. That dual-base proximity is genuinely uncommon, and for households managing PCS cycles or split-command situations, having both installations within easy reach — while living in a quiet York County cul-de-sac — is a meaningful quality-of-life advantage. VA loan eligibility makes this kind of square footage even more accessible.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and 3,139 square feet give a growing family real room to spread out — dedicated spaces for a home office, a guest room, and still have bedrooms left over. Built in 2003, the home sits in a mature phase where the neighborhood is settled and the street is calm. York County's reputation on the Peninsula adds another layer of confidence for families making a long-term move and looking for a community with staying power.
