28 Colony Rd, Newport News, VA 23602

Why this home stands out

What sets 28 Colony Road apart is its rare combination of military-base proximity and walkable, neighborhood-level convenience. Fort Eustis is a nine-minute drive, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is seventeen minutes out, and a dense cluster of grocers, restaurants, and gyms sits within a half-mile of the front door. For a 1969-built home in the 23602 zip code, that kind of all-in-one access is hard to match.

ALL OTHERS AREA 109 and the Newport News real estate market

Colony Road sits in a quiet residential pocket of Newport News — a city that stretches from the James River waterfront all the way north toward Williamsburg and carries a genuine sense of place built over centuries of American history. The 23602 zip code covers a mature, established section of the city where tree-lined streets and mid-century homes give the area a grounded, neighborhood feel rather than a cookie-cutter subdivision vibe. Newport News is home to one of the largest naval shipyards on the East Coast, a thriving arts scene anchored by the Mariners' Museum and Park, and quick highway access via I-64 that puts you in Hampton, Williamsburg, or Virginia Beach within thirty to forty-five minutes. Families comparing homes for sale in Newport News consistently note how the city balances affordability with genuine quality of life — good parks, diverse dining, and a community that feels lived-in rather than transient.
