Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

117 Dogwood Drive is a spacious 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath home in Newport News, Virginia, offering nearly 4,800 square feet of living space on a classic 1964 footprint — all within a 16-minute drive of Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Four bedrooms and three and a half baths spread across 4,800 square feet is genuinely hard to find in this part of Newport News. Built in 1964, the home carries the solid construction and generous room proportions of that era — the kind of bones that support a full renovation or reward a buyer who simply wants room to breathe without sacrificing proximity to the base or the waterfront.

RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market

Dogwood Drive sits in a well-established residential pocket of Newport News — a city that stretches from the James River up through the Virginia Peninsula and has been home to military families, shipyard workers, and longtime Virginians for generations. The streets here are lined with mature trees and mid-century homes, giving the area a settled, unhurried character that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. Christopher Newport University is right around the corner, which means the surrounding blocks benefit from the energy of a college campus — walkable green space, cultural events, and a steady neighborhood pulse — without the noise of a college town. Newport News as a city offers serious infrastructure: a deep-water port, a major medical corridor along Warwick Boulevard, and easy interstate access toward Hampton, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. For a home of this size, the location strikes a balance between quiet residential living and genuine urban convenience.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from 117 Dogwood Drive. Column 15 at the Mariners' is just 0.7 miles away for a morning coffee, and Einstein's is under a mile in the other direction. When it's time to eat out, Discover the Abstractions and Regattas are both within 0.9 miles — solid options for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend meal. Chick-fil-A is equally close for a quick lunch run. The Great Lawn and CNU Volleyball Court are both about a mile away, making it simple to get outside without loading up the car.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis — both the Langley and Fort Eustis sides — is a 16-to-17-minute drive from Dogwood Drive, making this one of the more practical addresses on the Peninsula for active-duty households. With 4,800 square feet and four bedrooms, there's genuine space for a growing family, a home office, or a dedicated guest room for visiting family. A VA loan can be a strong fit for a home at this size and vintage.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown your current home and want something with real room to spread out, 4,800 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths is a meaningful step up. The 1964 build means larger lot setbacks, more generous room dimensions, and a neighborhood of established neighbors — not a new development still finding its identity. Christopher Newport University's green spaces and The Great Lawn are a short walk away, adding outdoor options right in the neighborhood.
