Why this home stands out
Built in 2019, this home skips the renovation math entirely. Four bedrooms and three full baths give you genuine flexibility — a home office, a guest suite, or room for a growing household without compromise. The newer construction means tighter energy standards, modern mechanicals, and finishes that don't feel like a time capsule. In a city where older stock dominates, a five-year-old build at this size is genuinely uncommon.
ALL OTHERS AREA 102 and the Hampton real estate market
Hampton is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the country, and it carries that history lightly — waterfront views, a walkable downtown, and a military community that keeps the city energized year-round. The ALL OTHERS AREA 102 designation covers a broad swath of Hampton where neighborhoods transition from established mid-century blocks to newer infill construction like this one. It's a practical, unpretentious part of the city where you're close to everything without paying a premium for a trendy zip code. If you're running a hampton va property search and prioritizing commute times and everyday livability over neighborhood cachet, this corridor checks those boxes cleanly. Hampton sits in the heart of Hampton Roads, bordered by the James River and Chesapeake Bay, and the city's mix of military history, waterfront access, and genuine affordability keeps drawing people back. Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Newport News are all within a reasonable drive.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. Kente's coffee shop is just 0.2 miles away — a quick walk before work. For a bite, Ambrosios Treats and Nothing But Wings & Things are both 0.3 miles out, and there's a McDonald's nearby for those early-morning drives. Grocery runs are covered by EZ Smoke & Mart (0.4 mi), Swami Food Store (0.5 mi), and Best of British (0.6 mi) — that last one is a local favorite for specialty imports. Old Hampton Community Park, Eason Park, and Trimble Field are all within 0.4 miles, and the Hampton Family YMCA is just 0.6 miles away for structured fitness.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is eight minutes from the front door, and NSA Hampton Roads is eleven. That kind of proximity makes PCS transitions smoother — shorter commutes, more time at home, and a BAH rate that aligns well with Hampton's price range. VA loan eligibility pairs naturally with newer construction like this, where appraisals tend to be straightforward. Four bedrooms means room for a family to land and settle without feeling squeezed.
For families upgrading
If your current home has you counting square footage and sharing bathrooms, 2,200 square feet across four bedrooms and three baths changes that math. Built in 2019, there's no deferred maintenance waiting for you on the other side of closing. The parks within walking distance — Old Hampton Community Park, Eason Park, Trimble Field — mean kids have outdoor space without loading everyone into the car. The Hampton Family YMCA is less than a mile away for after-school and weekend activity.
