Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

138 Racine Drive is a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home in Newport News, Virginia, offering 2,188 square feet of living space built in 1985 — just minutes from Joint Base Langley-Eustis and a short walk to Denbigh Park.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 138 Racine Drive apart is its rare combination of generous square footage, a half-bath beyond the standard count, and an almost unbeatable position for military households — Fort Eustis is literally three minutes away. That kind of proximity is hard to find among Newport News homes for sale, and it translates directly into shorter commutes and more time at home.

KNOLLWOOD MEADOWS and the Newport News real estate market

Racine Drive sits in the Denbigh corridor of Newport News, a well-established section of the city where mature trees line quiet residential streets and neighbors tend to stick around for years. Denbigh has a distinctly suburban feel without the isolation — you're close to shopping, parks, and major routes, yet the streets themselves stay calm. Newport News as a whole is one of Hampton Roads' most livable cities, stretching from the James River waterfront up through these inland neighborhoods. The city carries serious economic weight — shipbuilding, defense contracting, and a growing medical sector all call it home — which gives the area long-term stability that families comparing homes for sale in Newport News consistently appreciate. Racine Drive drops you into that stability without putting you in the thick of traffic, and the lot gives you breathing room that tighter urban addresses simply can't match.

What's nearby

Denbigh Park is a half-mile from the front door — an easy walk or a two-minute drive when you want open space, a ball field, or just somewhere to decompress after work. Daily errands in the 23608 zip code are well covered, with grocery options, pharmacies, and casual dining all within a short drive along Jefferson Avenue. The broader Denbigh commercial corridor keeps most routine needs close. Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is fourteen minutes out, adding a second base option for dual-military households or those whose orders shift over time.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is three minutes from the driveway — that's about as close as it gets without living on post. Four bedrooms handle PCS moves with kids in tow, and the extra half-bath means busy mornings run smoother. Families using a VA loan will find the price point and square footage here competitive among homes for sale in 23608, with Naval Weapons Station Yorktown only fourteen minutes away as a backup option.

For families upgrading

If the last house felt a little tight, 2,188 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths gives everyone room to spread out. The 1985 build means solid bones without the quirks of older construction, and Denbigh Park half a mile away becomes a natural weekend anchor. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Denbigh High School and homes for sale zoned for Stoney Run Elementary School will find this address lands squarely in that attendance zone.
