405 Normandy Lane is a 2,396-square-foot, three-bedroom home in Newport News, built in 1966 and carrying the solid bones of mid-century construction. Two and a half baths give the layout real daily comfort. Joint Base Langley-Eustis is about 12 minutes away, and everyday errands are close.
Homes from this era in Newport News tend to offer something newer builds rarely match: generous room proportions, thick walls, and lots that have had decades to mature. At 2,396 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, 405 Normandy Lane delivers real living space. The 23606 zip code sits in a stable, established part of the city. That combination of size, era, and location is harder to find than it looks.

Newport News stretches from the James River up to York County, giving residents a city that punches above its size.
