309 Riverside Dr, Newport News, VA 23606

Why this home stands out

Built in 2021, this property delivers the kind of square footage — 5,193 feet across six bedrooms and five and a half baths — that almost never comes paired with a build this recent. Most homes this size carry decades of deferred maintenance. Here, you get the room to spread out without the renovation to-do list. The half-bath alone signals that the builder was thinking about how real families actually live and entertain.

RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market

Riverside Drive sits in a well-established corridor of Newport News that feels a world away from the city's busier commercial strips, even though you're never far from anything you need. The street carries a residential calm that's hard to manufacture — mature landscaping, a sense of permanence — while the surrounding area has quietly become one of the more desirable pockets in Newport News. Christopher Newport University is nearby, which brings a steady cultural energy to the neighborhood: outdoor events, green space, and a walkable rhythm that most suburban streets can't match. Newport News itself is one of Hampton Roads' most geographically diverse cities, stretching from the James River to the York River, and this address lands you in the northern half — closer to the water, closer to the parks, and well-positioned for commutes in any direction across the Peninsula.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy here. Column 15 at the Mariners' Museum is just 0.7 miles away — a genuinely good coffee stop that doubles as a cultural landmark. Einstein's is another option at 1.0 mile. When you're ready for a meal, Discover the Abstractions and Regattas are both within 0.9 miles, and Chick-fil-A is right there too for the quick-lunch crowd. The Great Lawn and CNU Volleyball Court, each about a mile out, give you real outdoor options without a drive. There's a lot to live well within a very short radius of 309 Riverside Drive.
