Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What makes 117 Jenness Lane stand out is the combination of a compact, manageable footprint and a genuinely walkable immediate surroundings — something rare in this part of Newport News. Within a third of a mile you have multiple international grocery options, sit-down dining, and serious training gyms. Add an 8-minute drive to Fort Eustis and you have a location that simply does a lot of work for you every single day.

ALL OTHERS AREA 110 and the Newport News real estate market

117 Jenness Lane sits in the ALL OTHERS AREA 110 section of Newport News — a mature, mid-century corridor that developed steadily through the late 1950s and 1960s. The streets here have a settled, established feel: modest lots, older tree canopy, and a mix of long-time residents and newer households drawn by the area's practicality. The neighborhood runs along the warwick boulevard newport news va corridor, which gives residents quick access to the full length of the city without needing the interstate. Newport News itself is one of Hampton Roads' most self-contained cities — home to a major shipyard workforce, two military installations, and a surprisingly diverse food and retail scene that reflects decades of international community-building. Daily life here tends to be straightforward: short commutes, affordable everyday costs, and a city that keeps investing in its parks, waterfront, and public spaces. The 0.18-acre lot gives you real outdoor space without an overwhelming maintenance burden.

What's nearby

The block around Jenness Lane punches well above its weight for walkable errands. El Viejo Jalisco doubles as both a grocery and a full restaurant at 0.3 miles, and it shares that stretch with Oriental Market and Halal Food Mart & International Market — three distinct grocery options within a short walk. NuVibez Restaurant Bar & Lounge and Tienda Restaurant round out the dining within the same radius. When you want coffee, Tropical Smoothie Cafe is 0.6 miles out, with Starbucks Coffee Company and Panera Bread both at 0.7 miles. Fitness is equally well covered: American Iron Barbell Club Newport News, Peninsula Boxing Academy, and Modern American Mixed Martial Arts are all under half a mile. Chatham Trail at 0.5 miles gives you a green corridor for walking or running.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Fort Eustis) is an 8-minute drive from 117 Jenness Lane, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 15 minutes out — making this address workable for service members at either installation. VA loan eligibility can stretch your purchasing power here, and BAH rates in this zip code are worth running the numbers on before you decide.

For first-time buyers

A 1961-built, 3-bedroom home on a real lot in Newport News — this is the kind of address where a first purchase starts to make long-term sense. The square footage is manageable, the lot gives you room to grow into, and the walkable grocery and dining options nearby mean you're not car-dependent for every errand. It's a grounded, practical starting point.
