Why this home stands out
Built in 1954, this single-family home carries the solid construction hallmarks of mid-century Hampton: a defined lot with room to breathe at 0.1469 acres, a straightforward floor plan that makes every square foot count, and a location inside Monroe Colony that puts groceries, parks, waterfront green space, and local dining within a short walk or quick drive.

MONROE COLONY and the Hampton real estate market
Monroe Colony sits in the Phoebus section of Hampton — one of the city's most historically rooted and walkable pockets. Phoebus has its own distinct personality: small-scale, community-minded, and close to the water. Streets here are lined with mid-century homes, locally owned businesses, and parks that back up to the Hampton Roads waterfront. If you've been searching for a house for sale hampton va that actually puts you inside a real neighborhood rather than a sprawling subdivision, Monroe Colony delivers that. Hampton itself is a city with deep roots — home to Fort Monroe, the Virginia Air and Space Science Center, and miles of waterfront along the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads harbor. Getting around is easy whether you're heading to the Peninsula Town Center, crossing the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, or commuting to one of the region's military installations. The combination of affordability, access, and authentic neighborhood feel makes this corner of Hampton genuinely hard to replicate.
