Why this home stands out
Few addresses in Newport News combine this kind of square footage — 4,128 feet across five bedrooms — with a location this close to a university campus, a walkable cluster of restaurants and coffee shops, and straightforward access to both Langley Air Force Base and Fort Eustis. The 1970 build gives the home a solid, established footprint that larger new-construction neighborhoods in the region rarely replicate at this scale.
RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market
Scottland Terrace sits in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of midtown Newport News, Virginia — a city of roughly 185,000 people anchored by shipbuilding heritage, a thriving arts district, and one of the region's most walkable university corridors. The street itself has the feel of an established residential enclave: mature landscaping, generous lot sizes, and neighbors who have been around long enough to wave from the driveway. Christopher Newport University is practically a backyard amenity here, which means green lawns, walking paths, and a campus energy that keeps the surrounding blocks lively without being loud. Newport News stretches from the James River up through the Virginia Peninsula, and this address lands you in the middle stretch — far enough from the waterfront bustle to feel residential, close enough to the city's core to reach anything you need quickly. Warwick Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue are both nearby, giving you the full commercial spine of the Peninsula without living on it.
