Retail, dining, and green space are woven right into the fabric of the block. Newport News itself stretches from the James River north to York County, giving residents access to a wide range of parks, waterways, and employment centers. Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard are the main commercial corridors, both easy to reach from Carolyn Drive.
