Why this home stands out
What sets 118 Oxford Run apart is simple: it's brand new. Built in 2024, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home delivers the kind of clean slate that's genuinely hard to find in a small, water-oriented city like Poquoson. No deferred maintenance, no outdated floor plans, no compromises. You get 2,664 square feet of contemporary layout paired with the quiet, community feel that defines this corner of the Virginia Peninsula.
LEGACY OF POQUOSON and the Poquoson real estate market
Poquoson is one of the most distinctive small cities in Hampton Roads — an independent city of roughly 12,000 residents tucked between the York River and Back River on the lower Virginia Peninsula. The city has a tight-knit, waterfront-community identity that's held onto its character even as the surrounding region has grown. Streets here tend to be quiet, lots are generous by Hampton Roads standards, and neighbors tend to stick around for decades. That sense of permanence is part of the appeal. Poquoson sits in York County's orbit but governs itself, which means its own public services and a community pride that's easy to notice. For anyone looking at new construction in Poquoson, the combination of a newly built home and a city that doesn't turn over quickly is a genuinely rare pairing. Outdoor recreation is woven into daily life here — boating, fishing, and kayaking are weekend staples, and the city's parks and boat ramps keep residents close to the water year-round.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to Langley AFB is a commute that genuinely changes your daily life. For active-duty families, 118 Oxford Run puts you close enough to the flight line to make a quick base run feel effortless, while Poquoson's quiet streets give you the separation from base housing that many families prefer. A VA loan pairs naturally with new construction like this — no seller concessions needed for repairs, just a clean appraisal on a home that's never been lived in.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and 2,664 square feet give a growing family real room to spread out — a dedicated space for a home office, a guest room that actually functions as one, and enough square footage that the whole household isn't sharing the same corner. Because this home was built in 2024, the systems are current, the layout reflects how people actually live today, and you're not inheriting someone else's renovation decisions. Poquoson's community feel makes it a place families tend to put down roots.
