by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

Meet 498 Windemere Road, a four-bedroom, two-bath home in Newport News built in 1962. You'll find 1,732 square feet of living space on a solid lot. Joint Base Langley-Eustis is just seven minutes away, making this a convenient choice for base commuters.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

This 1962 home sits on a residential lot with four bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across 1,732 square feet. The layout gives you room to work with, whether you're looking to settle in as-is or make updates over time. The bones are there, and the location near Joint Base Langley-Eustis keeps your commute short. Newport News homes for sale in this price range don't often combine four bedrooms with proximity to the base.

SHORE PARK and the Newport News real estate market

Windemere Road sits in a quiet residential area of Newport News, where tree-lined streets and established homes create a stable neighborhood feel. The block has the kind of character you find in mid-century communities—solid construction, good spacing between properties, and neighbors who've been here for years. Newport News itself is a working waterfront city with deep military and maritime roots. Daily life is easy: you're minutes from shopping, dining, and parks. Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 17 minutes away. Getting around town is straightforward on local roads, and the broader Hampton Roads region is accessible via I-64. If you are comparing homes for sale in Newport News, note that this address offers four bedrooms and a commute that works.

What's nearby

Nicewood Park sits about a mile away, offering green space and a place to spend an afternoon. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining are all within a short drive. The area has the convenience of suburban living without feeling isolated from everyday needs. You're close enough to Newport News' downtown waterfront to explore when you want, but far enough away to enjoy quiet residential streets and established trees.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is seven minutes away, keeping your commute short. VA loan financing is common in this area and works well for base-adjacent homes. Four bedrooms give you space to settle in, and the 1962 construction means you can move in without major surprises.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms give you room to grow. The 1,732 square feet offers flexible space—a den, office, or playroom alongside your main living areas. A solid lot provides outdoor space, and the established neighborhood means mature trees and a quieter setting than newer subdivisions.
