Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means everything — roof, mechanicals, appliances, finishes — starts at zero miles. With 2,511 square feet spread across five bedrooms and three full baths, there's room for a home office, a guest suite, and still have space left over. The location is the real headline: Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is literally three minutes away, making commute math almost embarrassingly easy for active-duty households.
ROSE HILL and the Yorktown real estate market
Baptist Road sits in the quieter, wooded corridor of York County — a part of Yorktown that feels genuinely removed from the noise of the peninsula's busier corridors while staying connected to everything that matters. Yorktown itself carries real historical weight as the site of the final major battle of the American Revolution, and that sense of place shows up in the community's character: unhurried, proud, and rooted. York County is an independent jurisdiction with its own government and services, and the area around 23690 has long attracted military families and civilian professionals who want space, good infrastructure, and reasonable drive times in every direction. The York River is close enough to feel like a backdrop to daily life, and the broader Hampton Roads region — with its mix of waterfront, history, and military presence — is fully accessible from here. Among homes for sale in 23690, a new-construction five-bedroom on Baptist Road is a genuinely rare find.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are covered close to home. Community Grocery Mart and Deli is under a mile away for quick grocery runs and fresh deli options. When you want a low-key dinner or a casual lunch, Jordan's Pizza, Subs, & Much More is also within 0.9 miles — the kind of neighborhood spot worth having on speed dial. Charles Brown Park, equally close at 0.9 miles, gives you a green space for weekend mornings, after-school hours, or just a walk to clear your head. Joint Base Langley-Eustis is about ten minutes south, and the broader Historic Triangle — Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown's own battlefield — is within easy reach for weekend exploring.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Three minutes to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about as good as it gets for gate-to-garage commute times.

For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and three full baths in a brand-new 2026 build means you're not inheriting anyone else's design choices or aging systems — you're starting fresh. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for York High School and homes for sale zoned for Yorktown Elementary School will find 1500 Baptist Road well-positioned within York County's attendance boundaries. There's room to grow here, and the park and casual dining options nearby make the neighborhood feel like a real community rather than just a commuter stop.
