Why this home stands out
Homes from the early 1960s in this part of Newport News tend to be solidly built with generous room proportions that newer construction rarely matches at the same square footage. At 2,087 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, 27 Hertzler Road gives you real living space — the kind where a home office, a dedicated dining room, and a comfortable living area can all coexist without compromise.
ALL OTHERS AREA 109 and the Newport News real estate market
Hertzler Road sits in a quiet residential pocket of Newport News, a city that stretches from the James River shoreline all the way north toward York County. This part of the 23602 zip code has a settled, established feel — tree-lined streets, single-family homes with mature landscaping, and neighbors who have often been around long enough to know each other by name. Newport News itself is one of the most geographically diverse cities in Hampton Roads, offering everything from waterfront parks along the James River to the Virginia Living Museum, the Mariners' Museum, and a walkable downtown that has been steadily reinventing itself. Daily errands are easy here — grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and coffee shops are all within a short drive. The city's location at the center of the Hampton Roads region means you're rarely more than 30 minutes from anywhere on the Peninsula or across the water.
What's nearby
Nicewood Park is about a mile from the front door — a practical green space for morning walks, weekend afternoons with kids, or simply getting outside without a long drive. Beyond the park, the broader 23602 corridor puts everyday conveniences close at hand. Patrick Henry Mall is a short drive for shopping and dining, and the retail corridor along Jefferson Avenue covers most routine errands in one trip. For weekend outings, the Mariners' Museum and Park is within easy reach, offering miles of trails around Noland Trail Lake in addition to its world-class maritime collection.
