219 Dogwood Rd, Yorktown, VA 23690

Why this home stands out

What sets 219 Dogwood Road apart is the rare combination of generous square footage — nearly 3,000 finished feet — five true bedrooms, and a location that puts Naval Weapons Station Yorktown practically at your doorstep. Most homes this close to the gate are significantly smaller. Here you get the space a larger household needs without sacrificing any of the commute advantage that makes Yorktown so appealing to Peninsula families.

MAGNOLIA PARK and the Yorktown real estate market

Yorktown sits at the northern tip of the Virginia Peninsula, where the York River meets the Chesapeake Bay, and it carries a character that's hard to replicate anywhere else in Hampton Roads. The town is best known for its Revolutionary War history — the actual battlefield and Colonial National Historical Park are woven right into the local landscape — but day-to-day life here is quietly comfortable rather than touristy. Dogwood Road falls within York County jurisdiction, which consistently ranks among Virginia's most desirable counties for quality of life. The surrounding streets have a settled, established feel: mature trees, modest lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stay for years. Commuters heading to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown appreciate that the base's main gate is essentially around the corner. Those working at Camp Peary are about eleven minutes away. Yorktown Virginia homes near military installations is a search that leads a lot of Peninsula buyers here, and once they see the area in person, most understand why.
