Why this home stands out

What sets 249 Batson Drive apart is the combination of tight proximity to Joint Base Langley-Eustis and a genuinely walkable daily routine. Food Lion is six-tenths of a mile away. Young's Mill Park is half a mile down the road. Two military installations sit within 18 minutes. For a 1,254-square-foot home built in 1981, the location does a lot of heavy lifting — and that matters when you're weighing Newport News homes for sale against each other.

COLLEGE PARK and the Newport News real estate market

Batson Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Newport News near the 23602 zip code's western edge. The streets here are lined with single-family homes from the late 1970s and early 1980s, giving the area a settled, established feel. Lots are modest in size, and the neighborhood has a low-key suburban character without feeling remote. Sidewalks and short drives connect you to everyday needs quickly. Newport News is a mid-sized independent city on the Virginia Peninsula, stretching from the James River north toward York County. It carries a strong sense of place — part military town, part shipbuilding hub, part waterfront city. Getting around is straightforward. Interstate 64 is accessible nearby, putting you within reach of Hampton, Williamsburg, and Norfolk. The city's main commercial corridors along Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard keep errands close. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Newport News will find that the 23602 zip code offers a good balance of access and affordability.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from Batson Drive. Food Lion is just 0.6 miles away for grocery runs. Dairy Queen Grill & Chill is half a mile out when you want a quick bite. OKINII Hibachi & Sushi and Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant are both within 0.6 miles for sit-down dinners. Coffee is covered by Starbucks and Raceway, each about 0.7 miles away. Planet Fitness is 0.6 miles for workouts. Young's Mill Park is a half-mile walk, and the River Farms Park Soccer Fields are under a mile for weekend outdoor time.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Fort Eustis is about 10 minutes from 249 Batson Drive. Langley AFB adds a second option at roughly 18 minutes.

The home's three bedrooms and two full baths mean you can settle in without a renovation project standing between you and the front gate.

For first-time buyers

At 1,254 square feet with three bedrooms and two full baths, 249 Batson Drive offers a complete layout without the complexity of a larger home.
