Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

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

At a glance

Meet 309 Mimosa Drive — a four-bedroom, two-bath, 2,550-square-foot home built in 1955 in one of Newport News's most walkable pockets, sitting just minutes from Christopher Newport University's green spaces and a quick 15-minute drive to Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 309 Mimosa Drive apart is its rare combination of mid-century scale and genuine walkability. At 2,550 square feet, this 1955-built home gives growing households real room to breathe, while the surrounding streets put coffee, groceries, fitness, and open green space within a half-mile stroll. Few Newport News homes for sale can claim this particular mix of square footage, vintage character, and campus-edge convenience.

RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market

Mimosa Drive sits in a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Newport News that borders the Christopher Newport University campus — which means wide sidewalks, manicured lawns, and a neighborhood energy that feels both settled and lively. The area draws a mix of long-time residents and newcomers who appreciate the walkable rhythm of daily life here. Newport News itself is one of Hampton Roads' most underrated cities: a working waterfront, a world-class art museum, and easy access to the wider peninsula make it a place people tend to stay once they arrive. The 23606 zip code in particular carries a reputation for solid infrastructure, mature tree canopy, and proximity to both major employers and recreational green space. Families comparing homes for sale in Newport News often circle back to this corridor once they realize how much is within reach on foot.

What's nearby

Daily errands and downtime are genuinely easy from 309 Mimosa Drive. Harris Teeter is 0.7 miles away and Food Lion is just 0.8 miles — two solid grocery options without getting in the car. When you want to eat out, Regattas and Discover the Abstractions are both 0.4 miles away, and Chick-fil-A is right there too. Einstein's and The Captain's Den handle your coffee needs within half a mile. For fitness, the CNU Freeman Center and CNU Trieshmann Health and Fitness Pavilion are 0.5 miles away, with Pure Barre just slightly farther. CNU Volleyball Court, The Great Lawn, and Ferguson Field give you outdoor space close to home.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Langley AFB) is about 15 minutes away, and Fort Eustis is roughly 17 minutes — both well within a comfortable commute for most duty schedules. A VA loan can make a home like this very accessible, and the four-bedroom layout handles PCS moves with room for a home office or a dedicated guest space. Families comparing homes for sale in 23606 often find this address checks a lot of boxes at once.

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms and 2,550 square feet in a 1955-built home means real room — not just square footage on paper. There's space for everyone to have their own corner, plus the kind of lot and neighborhood that makes outdoor time feel natural. Families researching homes for sale zoned for Menchville High School and homes for sale zoned for Riverside Elementary School will find 309 Mimosa Drive worth a close look.
