This three-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a quiet Yorktown street with easy access to shopping, dining, and two major military installations. Built in 1968, it offers 1,502 square feet of living space. You're about 12 minutes from Langley Air Force Base and 16 minutes from Fort Eustis.
The 1968-built layout gives you solid bones and a manageable footprint—perfect if you want a home without sprawl. Three bedrooms and two baths fit most needs without excess space to maintain. Location-wise, you're positioned between two major bases without the congestion of base-adjacent neighborhoods. Daily life here centers on convenience: grocers, quick meals, and fitness options are all under a mile away.
PLANTATION ACRES and the Yorktown real estate market
Yorktown's residential streets have a settled, established feel. Tree-lined blocks and modest single-family homes create a neighborhood where neighbors tend to stay put. The area balances quiet living with practical access to services—you're never far from what you need. York County offers a slower pace than nearby Virginia Beach. Route 17 connects you quickly to the Peninsula's main corridors. Commutes to Langley Air Force Base take about 12 minutes, and Fort Eustis is roughly 16 minutes away. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23693 will notice the straightforward access to both installations. Yorktown itself has deep colonial roots and a waterfront downtown, though daily life here is suburban and car-dependent.
What's nearby
King's Palace Pizza is just half a mile away—perfect for a quick dinner without leaving the neighborhood. Dunkin' and Wawa sit under a mile out for morning coffee and snacks. Walmart Supercenter handles grocery runs at 0.9 miles. Your Time 24-7 Fitness is within walking distance for gym access. Two parks—Kiln Creek Park and YCLL #3—are about a mile away, offering outdoor space for recreation. The cluster of dining and coffee options means you rarely need to venture far for everyday errands.
