Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

The standout here is the lot: nearly 1.5 acres gives you room to breathe and room to grow. The 2,883-square-foot floor plan spreads across four bedrooms and two full baths plus a half bath. You get the kind of privacy and outdoor space that anchors homes for sale in Newport News without the density of smaller subdivisions. The 1984 construction means solid bones and a layout built for living, not just passing through.

CAPN JOHNS LANDING and the Newport News real estate market

This address sits in a quieter corner of Newport News, where larger lots and tree-lined streets define the character. The neighborhood feels removed from the bustle but remains convenient to everyday errands and major routes. Newport News itself is a working waterfront city with deep military and industrial roots. The city center offers dining, shopping, and cultural spots along the water. Getting around is straightforward: you're close to I-64 for longer trips, and local roads connect you to parks and services. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Menchville High School and homes for sale zoned for Knollwood Meadows Elementary School will find this location sits within those attendance zones. The broader area blends suburban quiet with urban access, making it a natural fit for those who want both.

What's nearby

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is about eight minutes away by car. Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits roughly 18 minutes north. Local shopping and groceries are within a short drive. Parks and recreational areas dot the surrounding neighborhoods. You're close enough to downtown Newport News for evening outings but far enough away to enjoy the calm of your own land. The location balances accessibility with the peace of a larger lot.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Eight minutes to Joint Base Langley-Eustis puts this home within easy commute range for active duty and civilian employees. VA loan financing is common in this area, and the four-bedroom layout plus acreage gives you room to settle in. The home's 1984 construction and solid foundation mean minimal surprises at inspection—a real advantage for a quick move.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms and nearly 1.5 acres mean space to grow without crowding. The half-bath addition gives flexibility for a larger household. Outdoor space is rare in Newport News at this price point—you have room for a garden, play area, or future expansion. The open lot layout lets you shape the land to fit your needs.
