120 Selden Road is a four-bedroom, two-bath home in Newport News, Virginia, built in 1955 with 1,800 square feet of living space. The 23606 zip code puts you close to Christopher Newport University, local dining, and two gates of Joint Base Langley-Eustis. There is a lot to like about this address.
A mid-century build on Selden Road carries the kind of bones that newer construction rarely offers. The floor plan spreads across 1,800 square feet with four bedrooms, giving you real flexibility for how you use the space. Two full baths keep the morning routine moving. The 1955 vintage means solid construction, and the location in the 23606 zip code places you squarely in one of Newport News's most connected corridors.
RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market
Selden Road sits in a quiet, established section of Newport News near Christopher Newport University. The streets here are lined with mid-century homes on generous lots, and the pace feels unhurried even though everything is close. Neighbors tend to put down roots, and the blocks have a settled, lived-in character that newer subdivisions simply do not replicate. The 23606 zip code is one of the more walkable pockets in the city. Newport News itself stretches from the James River up to the York River, giving residents access to waterfront parks, a strong arts scene, and a diverse mix of local businesses. Getting around is straightforward. Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard are both nearby, connecting you to the rest of the Peninsula quickly. The Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport is a short drive away. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Newport News will notice that this corridor consistently offers proximity to both employment centers and everyday conveniences.
