Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

This 1,500-square-foot home offers solid bones and a classic mid-century layout. You're steps from Nicewood Park, perfect for outdoor time without leaving the block. The location cuts your commute to the base down to nine minutes, and the neighborhood has the kind of stability that comes with established streets and long-term residents. Homes for sale in 23602 in this price range don't often sit this close to both a park and a military installation.

WALDEN and the Newport News real estate market

Mark Twain Drive sits in a residential pocket of Newport News where tree-lined blocks and modest single-family homes define the character. Nicewood Park is a genuine neighborhood anchor—less than a tenth of a mile away, it's the kind of green space that becomes part of daily life. The streets here have the feel of a place where people stay, where neighbors know each other. Newport News itself is a working waterfront city with deep roots in shipbuilding and the military. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 64 is minutes away, and the base commute is nine minutes. If you are comparing homes for sale in Newport News, note that proximity to both Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown shapes the whole region's rhythm. Grocery stops, casual dining, and coffee are all within walking distance or a short drive.

What's nearby

The Boulevard Pub and Crave Wings are both under a mile away for dinner out. Coffee and quick bites at 7-Eleven are just 0.6 miles down the street. For groceries, you have Uncle's Farm Korean Mart, Jung Ha Oriental Market, and Colony Food Market all clustered within 0.7 miles—a real convenience if you cook at home. Young's Mill Park sits 0.9 miles away for a longer walk or drive. Nicewood Park, just a tenth of a mile from the front door, is the everyday outdoor space.

For different buyers

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and two full baths give you room to spread out and grow. The 1,500-square-foot layout flows well for everyday living. Nicewood Park nearby means outdoor space is built into the neighborhood, and the established street keeps things quiet and stable.
