1420 Seward Dr, Hampton, VA 23663

Why this home stands out

What sets 1420 Seward Drive apart is the combination of location and lot. Six minutes to Langley AFB, a park less than a third of a mile away, and a walkable stretch of shops and eateries — all on a freestanding residential lot in an established mid-century neighborhood. For a 1,261-square-foot home, the 0.15-acre footprint gives you genuine outdoor breathing room without the maintenance burden of a sprawling property.

FORDHAM and the Hampton real estate market

The area has the kind of settled character that comes from decades of owner-occupied households — neighbors who wave, blocks that feel familiar, and a pace that doesn't rush you. Hampton itself is one of the most historically significant cities on the East Coast, anchored by water on three sides and shaped by centuries of military and maritime heritage. When people search for houses in hampton va, Fordham often surprises them — it delivers proximity to the base corridor without the congestion of busier commercial strips. Hampton sits in Hampton Roads, one of the largest metro areas in Virginia, giving residents access to a wide range of employment, culture, and outdoor recreation while still coming home to a neighborhood that feels genuinely residential.
