Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

Meet 3 Flax Mill Road — a 3,214-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home built in 1991 in Newport News, Virginia. With Fort Eustis just 11 minutes away and Riverview Farm Park practically at your doorstep, daily life here is genuinely convenient.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 3 Flax Mill Road apart is the sheer amount of living space — over 3,200 square feet spread across three full baths and a half bath, all in a well-established Newport News neighborhood. Homes of this size in the 23602 zip code are less common than you might expect, making this address a standout for buyers who need room to spread out without leaving the city.

DENBIGH PLANTATION and the Newport News real estate market

The 23602 zip code sits in the northwestern corner of Newport News, a city of roughly 180,000 on the Virginia Peninsula between the James and York Rivers. This part of town has a settled, suburban feel — mature trees, quiet side streets, and the kind of neighbors who have been around long enough to wave hello by name. Riverview is the defining green anchor here: a stretch of parks and open fields that gives the area a spacious, unhurried character even though you're never far from everything you need. Newport News itself offers a rich mix of history, waterfront access, and genuine working-city energy. The Virginia Living Museum, the Newport News Shipbuilding yard, and the sprawling Newport News Park are all woven into the city's identity. Commuters appreciate the easy reach of I-64, which connects the Peninsula to Hampton Roads in either direction. Families comparing homes for sale in Newport News often land in this zip code once they discover how much green space and square footage they can find here.

What's nearby

Step outside and you're immediately close to some of the best outdoor space in Newport News. Riverview Farm Park is under a mile away — a beloved multi-use park with open fields, trails, and a community garden. The Riverview Farm Park Soccer Fields are just a mile out, making weekend games effortless. Fido Field, a dedicated dog park, is only 0.6 miles away, and Riverview Gymnastics Center is at the same distance for families with young athletes. Daily errands and dining options along Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard are a short drive, keeping the neighborhood genuinely livable without requiring a long commute for anything.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis — both the Fort Eustis and Langley AFB sides — is within 11 to 19 minutes of 3 Flax Mill Road, making this address a practical fit for active-duty households. The VA loan is a natural match for a home of this size, and the 23602 zip code consistently attracts military buyers who want space, stability, and a short drive to the gate.

For families upgrading

Three bedrooms, three and a half baths, and more than 3,200 square feet give growing families genuine room to breathe. Parents comparing homes for sale zoned for Menchville High School and homes for sale zoned for Knollwood Meadows Elementary School will find 3 Flax Mill Road worth a close look — the square footage is hard to match at this address, and Riverview Farm Park is less than a mile from the front door.
