Why this home stands out
Built in 1949, this home carries the kind of solid bones and generous room proportions that newer construction rarely replicates. With four true bedrooms spread across 2,154 square feet, there's real flexibility here — space for a home office, a guest room, or a dedicated playroom without anyone feeling cramped. The location is the other headline: Langley AFB sits five minutes away, and the quiet, tight-knit character of Poquoson surrounds you on every side.
ALL OTHERS AREA 111 and the Poquoson real estate market
Poquoson is one of the most distinctive small cities on the Virginia Peninsula — an independent city of roughly 12,000 residents bordered by water on three sides, with a community identity that's genuinely hard to find elsewhere in Hampton Roads. Life here moves at a measured pace. Neighbors know each other, streets are quiet, and the waterfront heritage of the area shapes everything from the local culture to the landscape. The 23662 zip code is one of the more sought-after addresses on the Peninsula, and it's easy to see why when you're standing in the middle of it. Families comparing homes for sale in 23662 often cite the city's small-town feel paired with surprisingly easy access to major employers — particularly the aviation and defense complex at Langley — as the deciding factor. Daily life is easy here, with groceries, parks, and community green space all reachable without ever leaving the city limits.
