At a glance

264 James River Drive is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,198-square-foot home built in 1947 in Newport News, Virginia 23601. With Joint Base Langley-Eustis just 14 minutes away and everyday essentials practically at the corner, this mid-century address puts comfort and convenience on the same block.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

At 2,198 square feet, a 1947-built home in this zip code offers something newer construction rarely delivers: genuine room proportions, solid bones, and a street presence that feels earned rather than manufactured. James River Drive sits in a walkable pocket of Newport News where groceries, dining, fitness, and green space all land within a mile — a combination that's harder to find than the listings suggest.

WARWICK ON JAMES and the Newport News real estate market

James River Drive sits in the Hilton neighborhood of Newport News — one of the city's older, tree-lined residential corridors that has held its character through decades of change. Streets here are wide enough for sidewalk strolls, and the housing stock reflects the mid-twentieth century era when craftsmen built homes to last. Newport News itself stretches along the Virginia Peninsula between the James River and Hampton Roads harbor, giving residents access to both waterfront recreation and a dense urban core. The city anchors the southern end of the Peninsula, sharing county lines with Hampton and sitting within easy reach of the broader Hampton Roads metro. Families comparing homes for sale in Newport News often land here once they discover how much square footage and neighborhood stability this part of 23601 delivers compared to newer-built alternatives farther inland.

What's nearby

Daily errands barely require a car from James River Drive. Food Lion and Dollar Tree are both 0.2 miles out, and Danny's Deli Restaurant, Golden China, and Peninsula Billiards are all within a tenth of a mile for quick meals or a casual evening. Health Trail Natural Foods — also 0.1 miles away — is a standout stop for wellness-minded shoppers. Better Health Fitness LLC is right around the corner if you prefer a gym over a yoga mat, while Arts Ballet Academy and Kundalini Yoga & Meditation with Atma are both under half a mile. Hilton Pier/Ravine, Riverfront Park, and Hilton Community Garden are all about 0.8 miles out — a short bike ride to the water's edge.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is 14 minutes from the front door, and NSA Hampton Roads is about 20. That commute window is short enough to matter on early-morning duty days. A VA loan fits naturally here, and the 2,198 square feet gives a military family real breathing room — space for a home office, a dedicated guest room, or a playroom that doesn't double as the living room.

For buyers drawn to character

Homes built in 1947 have a rhythm to them that tract construction simply doesn't replicate — thicker walls, distinct room shapes, and details that reward a second look. If you're searching Newport News homes for sale because you want a home with actual history and a neighborhood that predates the subdivision era, 264 James River Drive belongs on your shortlist.

More buyer questions

How far is 264 James River Drive from Joint Base Langley-Eustis?

The drive to Joint Base Langley-Eustis runs about 14 minutes under normal Peninsula traffic conditions. NSA Hampton Roads is roughly 20 minutes in the opposite direction, making this address workable for dual-military households.

What school zone does 264 James River Drive fall in?

Buyers comparing homes for sale zoned for Warwick High School and homes for sale zoned for Hilton Elementary School will want to verify current Newport News Public Schools boundaries directly with the district, as zone lines can shift — but this address has historically been associated with both schools.

Is 264 James River Drive in a flood zone?

Flood zone status for this address is covered by the FloodRisk tile on this page, which pulls current FEMA map data. Buyers should review that information and discuss flood insurance implications with their lender.

What grocery stores are closest to 264 James River Drive?

Food Lion and Dollar Tree are both 0.2 miles away, making routine grocery runs a quick errand. Health Trail Natural Foods, a specialty natural-foods shop, is just 0.1 miles from the address.

Are there parks or waterfront access points near 264 James River Drive?

Hilton Pier/Ravine, Riverfront Park, and Hilton Community Garden are all about 0.8 miles from the address — an easy bike ride or a brisk walk to the James River waterfront and community green space.
