Why this home stands out
Six bedrooms in a single-family home is genuinely rare, and 406 Regents Cove delivers that headcount without sacrificing square footage — 3,712 finished feet give every room room to breathe. Built in 1994, the home carries the solid construction standards of that era while sitting inside one of Newport News's most convenient zip codes, putting groceries, gyms, and quick-serve dining within a half-mile walk.
HUNTERS GLEN and the Newport News real estate market
The 23606 zip code sits in the Midtown corridor of Newport News — a part of the city that quietly punches above its weight in terms of everyday convenience. Streets here tend to be established and tree-lined, with a mix of family-sized homes that have been owned and cared for over decades. Regents Cove itself is a cul-de-sac address, which means less through traffic and a tighter sense of community among neighbors. Newport News is a working waterfront city with genuine character: it borders the James River, anchors the Virginia Peninsula, and carries a long history tied to shipbuilding, the arts, and military service. The Virginia Living Museum, the Mariners' Museum, and a growing restaurant scene along City Center give residents plenty to explore on weekends. Families comparing Newport News homes for sale consistently find that the Midtown area offers a strong balance of space, access, and neighborhood stability.

Fitness options are equally close — Club Pilates, World Class Gymnastics, and Coastal Strength & Fitness are all under a mile away. Peninsula Memorial Park and Young's Mill offer green space and walking trails within a mile, giving the neighborhood a genuine outdoor anchor.
