Why this home stands out
With over 4,100 square feet spread across four bedrooms and four and a half baths, 426 Richter Lane offers the kind of breathing room that larger households genuinely need. Built in 2003, the home sits in the established THE GREENLANDS community in York County — a setting that balances suburban calm with real proximity to two gates of Joint Base Langley-Eustis, making it one of the more practical addresses in this part of the Peninsula.
THE GREENLANDS and the Yorktown real estate market
THE GREENLANDS is a well-established residential community in Yorktown, Virginia, where tree-lined streets and generously sized lots give the neighborhood a settled, unhurried character. York County is consistently regarded as one of the stronger jurisdictions on the Virginia Peninsula — known for responsive local government and a tax structure that tends to be favorable compared to neighboring cities. Yorktown itself carries a layered identity: it's a place with genuine colonial history, a scenic riverfront, and a modern residential fabric that has grown steadily without losing its small-town feel. Living here puts you on the quieter, more spacious side of Hampton Roads, yet Interstate 64 keeps you connected to Newport News, Hampton, and the broader metro in under 20 minutes. The primary keyword for this page — homes in THE GREENLANDS Yorktown — reflects exactly the kind of address that draws buyers who want space, stability, and a short commute to the base.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from 426 Richter Lane. The Victory Family YMCA is just 0.2 miles away — practically a neighbor — and BlueSky Yoga and Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu Yorktown are both under a mile for anyone who likes options. When it's time to eat, Andrea's Italian Restaurant, Café Full Circle, and Luna Mexican Grill are all within 0.7 miles, so weeknight dinners rarely require planning. Royal Farms and Tokyo Market cover grocery runs at 0.8 and 1.0 miles respectively, and Jamestown Village Recreation Area is a mile out for weekend walks or outdoor time with kids.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is about 10 minutes from the front door — close enough for a manageable daily commute from Langley AFB, and only 17 minutes to the Fort Eustis side. Four bedrooms and four and a half baths handle the space demands of a growing military household, and a VA loan can make a home at this size more accessible than many buyers expect.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel like it's shrinking around you, 426 Richter Lane answers that directly. Four bedrooms, four and a half baths, and 4,138 square feet give everyone room to spread out — whether that means a dedicated home office, a proper guest suite, or just a living room that doesn't double as everything else. THE GREENLANDS is the kind of neighborhood where that upgrade feels permanent.
