Why this home stands out

Most homes built in 2021 top out around 2,500 square feet. This one nearly doubles that. Six bedrooms and five full baths give you room to spread out in ways that older, smaller homes simply cannot match. The half-bath adds everyday convenience without sacrificing flow. The construction is modern, so the bones, systems, and finishes all start from the same recent baseline — no patchwork updates, no deferred maintenance guessing games.

RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market

Riverside Drive sits in one of Newport News's most established corridors, close to Christopher Newport University and the James River. The street has a settled, residential feel — mature trees, generous lot spacing, and homes that were built to last. It's the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23606 at the upper end of the market. The surrounding area mixes quiet cul-de-sacs with walkable access to dining and green space. Newport News itself is a working waterfront city with a strong arts scene, a world-class shipyard, and deep military roots. Getting around is straightforward: Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard connect you to every part of the city quickly. The Virginia Peninsula's highway network puts Norfolk, Hampton, and Williamsburg all within reasonable reach. Daily life here moves at a comfortable pace without feeling remote.

What's nearby

Coffee is easy to find. Column 15 at the Mariners' is just 0.7 miles away, and Einstein's is about a mile out. For a quick lunch or dinner, Discover the Abstractions and Regattas are both within 0.9 miles and offer very different vibes. Chick-fil-A is also at that same distance when you need something fast. The Great Lawn is one mile away and gives you open green space for weekend afternoons. CNU Volleyball Court is at the same distance if you want something more active. Everything you need day-to-day is genuinely close.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Langley AFB) is about 16 minutes from 309 Riverside Drive. Fort Eustis is roughly 18 minutes in the other direction. VA loan financing is common in this zip code, and a 2021 build means the property meets modern standards with minimal friction at appraisal. The size and layout also support a quick, organized move-in without the renovation planning that older homes often require.

Room to grow

Six bedrooms give you genuine flexibility — dedicated guest rooms, a home office, a playroom, and still enough left over. Five full baths mean no morning bottlenecks. At 5,193 square feet, there is room for everyone to have their own space without the house feeling cavernous. The 2021 construction means storage, closets, and layout were all designed with modern living in mind from day one.
