Why this home stands out

What sets 40 Franklin Road apart is the combination of genuine mid-century bones — the kind of solid construction that 1945 produced — and a location that quietly overdelivers. You're half a mile from the James River at Huntington Park, thirteen minutes from Langley AFB, and within walking distance of everyday essentials. Four bedrooms in a 2,039-square-foot footprint means real room to breathe, not just square footage on paper.

RIVERMONT and the Newport News real estate market

Franklin Road sits in one of Newport News's most established residential corridors — a stretch of the city where mature trees line the streets and neighbors have been here long enough to actually know each other. The 23601 zip code occupies the older, western-facing edge of Newport News, where the James River isn't a distant amenity but a genuine part of daily life. Huntington Park is three-tenths of a mile away, and the Four Chaplains Memorial anchors the waterfront with a sense of civic history you don't find in newer subdivisions. The broader Newport News fabric here is walkable and human-scaled — coffee, groceries, a YMCA, and waterfront green space all within a half-mile radius. Families comparing homes for sale in Newport News often discover this part of the city last, which means it still rewards the buyers who look closely.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy here. Huntington Park and the Huntington Park Pavilion are a three-minute walk, giving you James River access, open lawn, and a genuine neighborhood gathering point. Monty's Penguin is 0.4 miles away for a quick bite, and Crab Shack on the James — true to its name — is just 0.5 miles down the road. Grocery runs are straightforward: Walmart Supercenter covers the big haul at 0.6 miles, Uncle Nick's and Wilcox Produce & Seafood add local flavor within a mile. The Tom & Ann Hunnicutt Family YMCA is half a mile away, and Starbucks is under a mile when you need a proper morning coffee.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is thirteen minutes from your front door, and NSA Hampton Roads is seventeen. That kind of commute matters when schedules are unpredictable. A VA loan pairs naturally with a four-bedroom home at this square footage, and the 23601 zip code has the kind of established neighborhood stability that military families — who've seen plenty of temporary — tend to genuinely appreciate.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms and 2,039 square feet give a growing family real room to spread out, and the 1945 construction means walls with actual thickness and a lot that reflects a time when builders weren't counting square inches. Huntington Park is walkable, the YMCA is half a mile away, and families comparing homes for sale zoned for Warwick High School and homes for sale zoned for Hilton Elementary School will find 40 Franklin Road squarely in that attendance zone.

More buyer questions

How far is 40 Franklin Road from Joint Base Langley-Eustis?

The drive to Langley AFB runs about thirteen minutes under normal traffic conditions. NSA Hampton Roads is approximately seventeen minutes away, making this address workable for personnel assigned to either installation.

What is the square footage and layout at 40 Franklin Road?

The home offers 2,039 square feet of living space across four bedrooms and two full baths. Built in 1945, the floor plan reflects mid-century proportions — rooms with real dimensions rather than the compressed layouts common in newer construction.

Is 40 Franklin Road in a flood zone?

Flood zone designation for this address is covered in the FloodRisk tile on this page, which pulls current FEMA map data. Given the proximity to the James River, reviewing that tile before making any decisions is worthwhile.
