About buying in Newport News
Homes for sale in Newport News, VA span from historic Hilton Village's English-Tudor cottages (23601) to brand-new construction in Port Warwick and City Center at Oyster Point (23606), to affordable family homes in Denbigh and Riverside (23608). As one of the longest cities in the U.S. — stretching over 30 miles along the James River — Newport News effectively contains three distinct real estate markets: the lower peninsula (23601-23607) closer to Hampton and Williamsburg, with established neighborhoods and pre-war homes; the middle peninsula (23608, 23606) with modern subdivisions and Oyster Point's office park; and the upper peninsula (23602, 23603) closer to Williamsburg and the Mariners' Museum. Newport News' biggest employer is Huntington Ingalls Industries / Newport News Shipbuilding — Virginia's largest industrial employer, building U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and submarines. Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Fort Eustis portion) is also in Newport News. Public schools include Menchville High, Heritage High, Denbigh High, and Warwick High, with Menchville historically among the top performers. Median home prices run $250K-$450K with select luxury inventory in Riverside and Port Warwick exceeding $700K. The Newport News MLS listings below refresh every 5 minutes from the REIN feed.
