Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms and four full baths inside 3,300 square feet is a combination that's genuinely hard to find in this price corridor of Newport News. Built in 1989, the home carries the generous room proportions of that era — real dining rooms, wide hallways, and bedrooms that fit actual furniture — while sitting on a 0.21-acre lot that gives you meaningful outdoor space without an overwhelming yard to maintain.
MEREDITH WOODS and the Newport News real estate market
Meredith Woods is a quietly established subdivision tucked into the northwest quadrant of Newport News — the part of the city that feels residential and unhurried even though everything you need is within a mile. Streets here are lined with mature trees, and the homes tend to be larger than the city average, which gives the neighborhood a settled, spacious character. Neighbors have typically been here a while, and the streets reflect that stability. If you're browsing newport news va houses for sale and want a neighborhood with roots rather than a freshly poured subdivision, Meredith Woods fits that profile well. Newport News itself is one of the more underrated mid-sized cities on the East Coast — anchored by the shipyard, the peninsula's military presence, and a genuinely diverse economy that keeps the area resilient. The city's parks system is strong, the waterfront is accessible, and the road network makes commuting to most peninsula destinations straightforward.
What's nearby
Daily errands are easy from Chelmsford Way. A Food Lion sits just half a mile away for everyday grocery runs, and La Suprema Latin Store at 0.7 miles adds specialty options. Dinner choices are equally close — Okinii Hibachi & Sushi and Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant are both within half a mile, and Dairy Queen Grill & Chill is right there too when the occasion calls for it. A Starbucks Coffee Company at 0.6 miles handles the morning routine, and a 7-Eleven at 0.7 miles covers quick stops. Planet Fitness is 0.7 miles away for workouts, and Peninsula Memorial Park is the same distance for outdoor time.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Fort Eustis) is eleven minutes away, and Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Langley AFB) is seventeen — making 202 Chelmsford Way one of the more commute-friendly addresses on the peninsula for dual-base households.

VA loan eligibility makes a home at this square footage genuinely accessible for qualifying service members.
For families upgrading
If your current home has outgrown your family, 3,300 square feet across five bedrooms and four baths is the kind of space that actually solves the problem. There's room for older kids to have their own floors, for guests to stay comfortably, and for the household to spread out without anyone feeling crowded. The 0.21-acre lot adds outdoor space, and the mature Meredith Woods neighborhood means you're buying into a community with real character — not a brand-new street still finding its identity. Houses for sale Newport News VA at this size don't come around constantly.
