Why this home stands out
What sets 16 Al Street apart is the combination of size and location that's genuinely hard to find in this pocket of Hampton. Five bedrooms in a 2005-built home gives you flexibility — home office, guest room, playroom — without sacrificing proximity to the water. Buckroe Beach is a short walk away, and two major military installations are each within a twelve-minute drive. That's a rare trifecta in Hampton Roads.
BUCKROE and the Hampton real estate market
16 Al Street sits in the Buckroe Beach area of Hampton, Virginia — one of the most distinctive coastal neighborhoods on the Virginia Peninsula. Buckroe has a genuine beach-town character: wide sandy shores, a waterfront park, and a laid-back energy that draws people who want the Chesapeake Bay as part of their daily backdrop. The streets here are a mix of long-established homes and newer construction, and the community has a tight-knit feel that's easy to appreciate once you're in it. Hampton itself is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the country, and it carries that history while still feeling very much alive and forward-moving. From Buckroe, you're connected to the broader Hampton Roads region without being swallowed by it — close enough to everything, far enough from the noise. The city's waterfront, downtown arts scene, and Air and Space Center are all within easy reach, making Hampton a place that rewards exploration.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is ten minutes from your front door, and Naval Station Norfolk is about twelve.

Buckroe Beach as your backyard makes the assignment feel like a posting worth looking forward to.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and three full baths in a 2005-built home gives a growing family real room to breathe. There's space for everyone to have their own corner, plus the kind of square footage — 2,660 feet — where you're not constantly reorganizing to make things fit. Add Buckroe Beach and Park half a mile away, and weekend life takes care of itself.
