Why this home stands out
What sets 216 Citizens Lane apart is its position in the Denbigh corridor of Newport News — close to two military installations, walkable to groceries and dining, and part of a neighborhood built in the 2000s with consistent, well-maintained streetscapes. The half bath on the main floor is a practical detail that many similarly sized homes skip. Three bedrooms and a two-story layout make every square foot count.
