Why this home stands out
Built in 2014, this property sidesteps the maintenance surprises that come with older Hampton stock — mechanical systems, finishes, and structural components all reflect a more recent construction era. Add in a 9-minute drive to Langley AFB, a Food Lion literally around the corner, and green space within a short walk, and the everyday math here works out unusually well for this part of the city.
CENTERVILLE and the Hampton real estate market
Lacrosse St sits in the Phoebus area of Hampton — one of the city's most distinctive and historically layered pockets. Phoebus developed as an independent town before being annexed by Hampton in 1952, and that independent spirit still shows in the tight street grid, the mix of architectural eras, and the genuine neighborhood feel you don't always find in newer subdivisions. Hampton itself is one of the oldest continuously English-speaking settlements in the country, and it wears that history lightly — waterfront parks, a working harbor, and a walkable historic district are all part of the everyday backdrop. The city sits at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, which means mild winters, water views around many corners, and a lifestyle that leans toward the outdoors. For military families, Hampton's location between Joint Base Langley-Eustis and NSA Hampton Roads makes it a practical anchor point — short commutes in multiple directions without the congestion of the Peninsula's busier corridors.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Nine minutes to Joint Base Langley-Eustis and eleven to NSA Hampton Roads — that's the kind of commute that makes a real difference in daily quality of life. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the 2014 build year means you're not inheriting deferred maintenance on aging systems. Grocery, pharmacy, and parks are all within walking distance, which matters when schedules are unpredictable.
For first-time buyers
If you're buying your first home, a 2014 build takes a lot of the guesswork off the table — newer roof, newer mechanicals, and finishes that don't need immediate updating. At 1,770 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.1 baths, there's real room to grow here. The Phoebus neighborhood gives you walkable amenities and a genuine community feel without the premium of a brand-new development.
