Why this home stands out

What sets 163 Princess Margaret Drive apart is its dual-base convenience in a city where commute time genuinely matters. Fort Eustis is nine minutes away, Yorktown is eighteen — and you're not sacrificing neighborhood depth to get there. The 1964 construction era means generous room proportions and a lot size that gives you actual yard space, not a postage stamp. For a three-bedroom home in this range, that combination is harder to find than it looks.

BOXLEY HILLS and the Newport News real estate market

Princess Margaret Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Newport News — a city that stretches from the James River waterfront all the way north toward York County, and carries serious military and industrial heritage alongside everyday livability. This part of the 23602 zip code leans suburban and low-key: established streets, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay put. Newport News homes for sale in this corridor attract a steady mix of military families, longtime locals, and buyers who want proximity to both the Peninsula's major employers and its green spaces without the density of closer-in neighborhoods. You're in a part of the city that feels settled rather than transitional — the kind of block where people know each other's names and front yards get tended. Newport News as a whole offers a lot: waterfront parks, a world-class museum, a busy shipyard economy, and road access that connects you north toward Williamsburg or south toward Hampton and Norfolk without much drama.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from Princess Margaret Drive. Grocery runs, pharmacy stops, and fast-casual dining are all within a short drive along Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard — two of the Peninsula's main commercial corridors. Deer Run Golf Club is close by for weekends, and the broader Newport News park system gives you trails and open space without a long drive. The Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport is roughly fifteen minutes away, which matters more than people expect once you're actually living here. For weekend trips, Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens are under thirty minutes north.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Nine minutes to Joint Base Langley-Eustis and eighteen to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown — 163 Princess Margaret Drive is built for Peninsula military life. A VA loan makes this kind of single-family home especially accessible, and the three-bedroom layout handles the realities of family life without squeezing anyone. When orders change, the location holds its value on both sides of the transaction.

For first-time buyers

If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, a 1,353-square-foot home with three bedrooms and a half bath gives you room to grow without overwhelming you on maintenance. The 1964 build means solid construction and a real yard. Newport News in the 23602 zip code is one of the more approachable entry points on the Peninsula — established, connected, and not overbuilt.
