Why this home stands out
Half-acre lots inside Hampton's city limits are genuinely rare, and 1704 Neptune Drive delivers one. The 2004 build means you're getting modern construction bones — think open floor plans, taller ceilings, and updated mechanicals — without the quirks of a mid-century remodel. Four bedrooms and three full baths plus a half bath give households room to spread out, host guests, or carve out dedicated workspace.
POWHATAN PARK and the Hampton real estate market
Powhatan Park sits in the northern reaches of Hampton, Virginia, tucked between the water-influenced streets that give this part of the city its distinct coastal personality. The neighborhood carries a quiet, established feel — mature trees, generous lot sizes, and streets wide enough to feel unhurried. It's the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other. Hampton itself is one of the most storied cities in Hampton Roads, home to some of the oldest English settlement sites in North America and a waterfront that draws residents year-round. If you've been searching through homes for sale hampton va, you'll notice that Powhatan Park stands out for its combination of space, proximity to the base corridor, and access to the broader city without the density of more urban neighborhoods. Hampton sits in the heart of the Peninsula, putting you within easy reach of Newport News, Norfolk via the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, and the entire Hampton Roads metro. The vibe here leans residential and grounded — a solid place to put down roots.
