Why this home stands out
Size and location rarely line up this cleanly. At 3,589 square feet, 38 Forrest Road gives you room to actually spread out — four bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths across a layout built in 2010 when floor plans were generous by design. Add a seven-minute drive to Langley AFB and you have a combination that's genuinely hard to replicate anywhere else on the Peninsula.
BENNETT CREEK POINT and the Poquoson real estate market
Poquoson is one of the most distinctive small cities on the Virginia Peninsula — an independent city of roughly 12,000 people that sits on a peninsula of its own, surrounded by water on three sides and connected to the broader Hampton Roads region by a handful of roads. Life here moves at a pace that feels intentional. Neighbors know each other. Yards are real. The city maintains its own parks, recreation programs, and a community identity that larger surrounding cities simply can't manufacture. For buyers searching homes for sale near nas oceana who also want a quieter, more residential setting, Poquoson offers a compelling alternative — close enough to the action, removed enough to breathe. The 23662 zip code sits in York County's orbit but operates independently, which means city services are attentive and the community feels cohesive. Forrest Road itself sits in a well-established residential pocket where 2010-era construction means you get modern systems without the raw-edge feel of a brand-new subdivision.
What's nearby
Daily errands are easy from 38 Forrest Road. Sheffield's Grocery is just 0.8 miles away for quick runs, and two solid dining options — Surf Rider and 185 — are both under a mile, giving you real choices on weeknights without a long drive. Green space is genuinely close: Poquoson Parks & Recreation and 4 Dove Point Trail are each about half a mile out, and Kids Island Park is 0.7 miles away — a detail that matters if young kids are part of the picture. Everything you need for a comfortable, low-commute daily routine is within a short drive or an easy bike ride.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is seven minutes from the front door — a commute that changes the math on daily life significantly. For active-duty families weighing base housing against owning in the community, 38 Forrest Road's size, location, and 2010 build quality make it a strong case for putting down roots. VA loan eligibility can make the financial side more straightforward than many families expect.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and 3,589 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and there's still room left over. If you've been in a smaller home and the walls are closing in, 38 Forrest Road is the kind of upgrade where you stop counting square footage and start thinking about how to use it. Poquoson's tight-knit community feel and walkable parks make the neighborhood match the home.
