Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms and three full baths in a single-family home under 1,700 square feet is a rare configuration — it means more rooms for more people without the sprawl of a larger footprint. The Pear Ridge neighborhood sits in a quietly connected pocket of Newport News where daily errands, dining, and fitness are all within a half-mile, yet the street itself stays residential and low-traffic.
PEAR RIDGE and the Newport News real estate market
Pear Ridge is a small, established subdivision tucked into the central Newport News corridor — the kind of neighborhood where streets curve gently, lots are manageable, and neighbors tend to stick around. The community was built out largely in the late 1980s, giving it a consistent, mature character with established tree canopy and settled streetscapes. You're sitting close to warwick boulevard newport news va, the city's main north-south spine, which means everything from big-box retail to specialty grocers and quick-service dining is a short drive or walk away. Newport News itself is one of the larger cities on the Virginia Peninsula, with a diverse economy anchored by the shipyard, military installations, and a growing healthcare and tech sector. The city's park system is extensive, and the waterfront along the James River adds an outdoor dimension that surprises many newcomers. Pear Ridge puts you near the geographic center of all of it — not too far north toward Yorktown, not too far south toward Hampton — which makes the daily geography of life on the Peninsula genuinely convenient.
What's nearby

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is roughly seven minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about fifteen — both within the range where BAH on the Peninsula makes homeownership a straightforward calculation. A VA loan can cover a property like this with no down payment, and five bedrooms means there's room for a home office, a guest room, or a growing family without anyone feeling crowded. The commute math and the room count both work.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown a three- or four-bedroom home and need that fifth room — for a teenager who wants their own space, a dedicated home office, or a guest suite — 387 Pear Ridge Circle delivers it without requiring a move to a larger, more expensive zip code. Three full baths means morning routines don't turn into scheduling conflicts, and the neighborhood's quiet, established feel is the kind of backdrop families tend to stay in for years.
