24 Lee Ave, Poquoson, VA 23662

Why this home stands out

Ranch-style homes from the early 1970s on the Poquoson peninsula are genuinely hard to find in this condition. Four bedrooms and two full baths in 1,550 square feet gives you a practical, single-level layout with no stairs to navigate. The lot sits in a low-density neighborhood where houses are spread out and traffic stays light. That combination — peninsula quiet, base proximity, and single-floor living — is a short list in this zip code.

ROBERTS ACRES and the Poquoson real estate market

Poquoson is a small independent city tucked onto a narrow peninsula between the York River and Back River. The streets here are flat, tree-lined, and mostly residential. Neighbors tend to stay for decades, which keeps the blocks stable and unhurried. Lee Ave itself is a straightforward residential street with single-family homes on generous lots. The surrounding area leans heavily toward water access — marinas, boat ramps, and tidal creeks are woven into daily life here. Poquoson covers only about 15 square miles, so nothing feels far. Getting around is simple: Route 171 connects you to Hampton in minutes, and I-64 is reachable without a long drive. Downtown Hampton and Newport News are both under 20 minutes. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23662 will notice that Poquoson trades urban density for a slower, more connected-to-the-water pace. The city has its own municipal services, its own identity, and a community feel that larger cities rarely match.

What's nearby

Two Tree Park is about a mile from the front door — a green space that works well for a walk, a run, or an afternoon outside. Poquoson's waterfront areas and public boat ramps are close, making weekend time on the water genuinely easy. For everyday errands, Hampton's retail corridor along Mercury Boulevard is roughly 10 minutes away. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants are all reachable without a long trip. Joint Base Langley-Eustis sits about 10 minutes out, and the Fort Eustis side of the installation is around 21 minutes. Daily life here runs on short drives and low traffic.
