Why this home stands out
What sets 120 Southerland Drive apart is its unbeatable proximity to Joint Base Langley-Eustis — just seven minutes door to gate — combined with easy access to NSA Hampton Roads twelve minutes away. The 1963 construction gives the home solid mid-century bones, and at 1,549 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, the layout offers genuine everyday livability without wasted space.
ASHTON HEIGHTS and the Hampton real estate market
120 Southerland Drive sits in Hampton, Virginia, a city that carries more history per square mile than almost anywhere else in the country — this is where English settlers first landed in 1607, and where you'll still find working waterfronts, tree-lined streets, and a genuine sense of place that newer suburbs simply can't manufacture. The Southerland Drive corridor reflects the broader character of mid-Hampton: established neighborhoods with mature landscaping, wide lots, and a pace of life that feels grounded rather than rushed. Hampton itself straddles the southern end of the Virginia Peninsula, giving residents quick access to Interstate 64 for connections across Hampton Roads. The city blends blue-collar practicality with waterfront recreation, a thriving arts scene downtown, and deep military roots that make it one of the most VA loan-friendly communities in the state. Neighbors here tend to stay — and that stability shows in the way the streets are kept.
What's nearby
Daily errands from 120 Southerland Drive are straightforward. Grocery options, pharmacies, and everyday retail are all within a short drive along Mercury Boulevard and Coliseum Drive. Buckroe Beach — one of Hampton's most beloved public beaches on the Chesapeake Bay — is roughly ten minutes east, making spontaneous afternoon trips genuinely realistic. Phoebus, Hampton's walkable historic village district, is close by and packed with independent restaurants, coffee shops, and galleries. Downtown Hampton's waterfront, with its marina, seafood spots, and the Virginia Air and Space Science Center, is also within easy reach.

For military families relocating
Seven minutes to Joint Base Langley-Eustis and twelve to NSA Hampton Roads — 120 Southerland Drive is about as well-positioned as a Hampton address gets for dual-military households or anyone managing a tight commute window. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the neighborhood's established character means you're not gambling on an up-and-coming area. This is proven, stable ground.
For first-time buyers
If you're buying your first home, 120 Southerland Drive offers a low-pressure entry point into Hampton's established housing stock. Three bedrooms and two full baths give you room to grow, and the 1963 construction means the home has already weathered decades — the big structural unknowns are largely behind it. Pair that with VA loan eligibility if you qualify, and the path to ownership gets notably clearer.
