Why this home stands out

Properties this close to Buckroe Beach with nearly 2,800 square feet and a 1935 build date are genuinely uncommon in Hampton. The multi-family configuration means you have real flexibility in how you use the space — whether that's accommodating extended family, housing a home office suite, or simply spreading out across a generous footprint with old-school construction quality that newer builds rarely match.

BUCKROE BEACH and the Hampton real estate market

Buckroe Beach is one of Hampton's most distinctive coastal neighborhoods, anchored by the public beach and park that sits literally at the end of the block from 218 Tappan Ave. The area has a laid-back, year-round beach-town feel — think morning walks along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, weekend volleyball at the park, and a tight-knit community that's been here for generations. Hampton itself is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the country, and that history shows in the architecture and street patterns throughout Buckroe. The city sits at the southern tip of the Virginia Peninsula, giving residents easy access to both the water and the broader Hampton Roads metro. Interstate 64 connects you to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the rest of the region without much fuss. It's a city that balances genuine coastal lifestyle with practical everyday convenience.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy here. Little E's Grocery is just 0.3 miles away for quick runs, and Green Wave Watersports at Buckroe Beach is practically your front yard at 0.1 miles — perfect for kayaks, paddleboards, or just watching the water. Alley Al's is 0.2 miles out when you want a casual bite. Buckroe Coffee Co. is a mile away for a proper morning cup, and Joy2bFit, Ogun's Strength and Conditioning Gym, and C4 Boxing Club all sit within a mile for staying active. Buckroe Beach and Park is essentially steps from the front door.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is nine minutes from 218 Tappan Ave, and Naval Station Norfolk is about 14 minutes across the water — making this address a rare find for dual-military households or anyone who needs quick access to both installations. A VA loan can be a strong fit for a multi-family property like this, and Hampton's Buckroe neighborhood gives military families a genuine beach community to come home to.

For buyers drawn to character

If you're drawn to homes with real bones — thick walls, period details, and a build quality that reflects 1935 craftsmanship — 218 Tappan Ave delivers. The multi-family layout adds versatility to that character, and the Buckroe Beach location means you're not trading charm for convenience. You're getting both, in a neighborhood that still feels like a place rather than a product.

What is Buckroe Beach like as a neighborhood?
