Why this home stands out
What sets 3 Artillery Place apart is its rare combination of proximity to two major military installations and a walkable cluster of shops, eateries, and a park — all within half a mile. The 1977 construction gives the home solid bones typical of that era, and at 1,715 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the layout offers real breathing room without the sprawl that makes maintenance a weekend project.
WINDSOR GREAT PARK and the Newport News real estate market
3 Artillery Place sits in the western reaches of Newport News, a city that stretches from the James River shoreline all the way up to the York County line. This part of town has a lived-in, established feel — tree-lined streets, single-family homes with real yards, and neighbors who have been around long enough to wave hello. The surrounding blocks are quiet without feeling remote, and the mix of international grocery stores and local eateries nearby hints at the diverse, community-minded character of the area. Newport News itself is one of the larger cities on the Virginia Peninsula, home to the Newport News Shipbuilding yard, Mariners' Museum Park, and a growing downtown corridor. Getting around is straightforward — Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard are both close, connecting you to the rest of the Peninsula without much fuss. Whether you're heading toward Hampton, Williamsburg, or across the James River via the Monitor-Merrimac Bridge-Tunnel, you have options. It's the kind of address that keeps daily life manageable.
