Why this home stands out
What sets 340 Martha Lee Drive apart is the combination of honest mid-century bones and an almost unbeatable daily-errand radius. A Food Lion is literally three-tenths of a mile away, a handful of restaurants are a two-minute walk, and the Langley flight line is a ten-minute drive. For a single-story, low-maintenance home this close to base, that trifecta is genuinely hard to replicate at this size.
FOREST PARK and the Hampton real estate market
Martha Lee Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of central Hampton — a city that has been home to American aviation and military history longer than almost anywhere else in the country. The streets here are lined with post-war ranches built during the 1950s boom that followed the expansion of Langley Air Force Base, so the neighborhood has a settled, established feel: mature trees, single-story homes, and neighbors who have often been around for decades. Hampton itself wraps around the water on three sides, giving residents easy access to waterfront parks, the Virginia Air and Space Science Center, and the broader Hampton Roads metro without the congestion of larger cities nearby. The city sits in Hampton Roads, Virginia's coastal metro, and is connected by interstate and tunnel to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Newport News. Whether you're drawn by the military community, the coastal lifestyle, or simply the practical convenience of a well-located home, Hampton delivers on all three.

Royal Farms handles both a quick coffee and a fast meal at the same stop. Mi Amour Eli Vendors District rounds out the coffee options nearby. Cheeseman Martial Arts Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, also 0.2 miles away, is a convenient spot for training or getting the kids into a structured program.
