FOREST PARK and the Hampton real estate market
Martha Lee Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Hampton — one of the oldest and most storied cities on the Virginia Peninsula. Hampton wraps around the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay and has been home to military families, longtime locals, and working professionals for generations. The streets here in the 23666 corridor have a settled, no-frills character: modest lots, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay put. You're not in a flashy new subdivision, and that's exactly the point. Daily life is easy here — groceries, quick bites, and green space are all within a mile. The broader city offers waterfront parks, the Virginia Air and Space Science Center, Buckroe Beach, and the Hampton Coliseum for weekends when you want more. Families comparing homes for sale in Hampton often find that this part of the city delivers solid fundamentals — commute convenience, community stability, and room to make a home your own.
