Why this home stands out

Square footage this generous — nearly 4,800 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths — is genuinely hard to find in central Newport News. The 1964 construction era brings solid mid-century bones, and the floorplan has the room to accommodate a home office, a dedicated playroom, a guest suite, or all three at once. This is the kind of house that grows with you rather than against you.

RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market

Dogwood Drive sits in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of Newport News that feels a world apart from the city's busier corridors — yet you're never far from anything you need. The surrounding streets carry the unhurried character of an established mid-century neighborhood: mature canopy trees, generous lot spacing, and neighbors who've often been around long enough to know each other by name. Newport News itself stretches from the James River shoreline up through the Virginia Peninsula, and this address lands you squarely in the city's well-connected midsection. The 23606 zip code is one of the more sought-after pockets in the city, known for its accessibility to major employers, parks, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. Whether you're heading toward the waterfront, cutting across to Hampton, or making the quick run up to Williamsburg, the road network from this part of Newport News keeps your options open.

What's nearby

Daily errands and weekend plans are both well-covered from 117 Dogwood Drive. Whole Foods and a full complement of shops along Warwick Boulevard are within a short drive, and the Oyster Point commercial corridor puts restaurants, pharmacies, and services close at hand. City Center at Oyster Point offers outdoor dining and green space just minutes away. For outdoor time, Mariners' Museum Park and the adjoining Newport News Park — one of the largest municipal parks on the East Coast — are a quick trip north. Interstate 64 access is nearby, making the broader Hampton Roads region easy to reach on any given day.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is about 16 minutes from the front door — whether you're heading to the Langley side or the Fort Eustis gate. That kind of dual-gate proximity is genuinely useful for households where assignments can shift. A VA loan is a strong fit here, and the four-bedroom layout gives you the flexibility to house a growing family or set up a proper home office for remote duty work.

For families upgrading

If you've been waiting for a home that finally has enough room — enough bedrooms, enough bathrooms, enough square footage to stop feeling like you're managing around the house — 117 Dogwood Drive is worth a serious look. Nearly 4,800 square feet means everyone gets their own space, and the established neighborhood gives kids room to roam while keeping parents close to everything the Newport News midsection has to offer.
