Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a single-family home this close to Langley AFB is a genuinely rare combination in Hampton. Built in 1973, the home carries the solid construction and generous room proportions that era is known for, spread across 2,587 square feet with three full baths. Whether you need space for a growing family, a dedicated home office, or a guest suite, the layout gives you real options without compromise.
ELIZABETH LAKE ESTATES and the Hampton real estate market
526 Elizabeth Lake Drive sits in a well-established residential pocket of Hampton, Virginia — one of the oldest and most storied cities on the East Coast. Hampton wraps around the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads harbor, giving the whole city an unmistakable waterfront character even in neighborhoods that sit a few blocks inland. This particular stretch of Hampton has a quiet, tree-lined feel that comes from decades of mature landscaping and owner-occupied homes. Streets curve gently, lots run a comfortable size, and neighbors tend to know each other. The Elizabeth Lake area takes its name from the lake itself, which anchors the community and gives the surrounding blocks a natural focal point. You're far enough from the main commercial corridors to feel removed from the noise, but close enough that errands take minutes rather than a dedicated trip. Hampton's city amenities — waterfront parks, the Virginia Air and Space Science Center, and easy access to I-64 — round out a location that works equally well for commuters, families, and anyone who simply wants a well-connected place to call home.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life is genuinely convenient here. Harris Teeter is just half a mile away for full grocery runs, and a 7-Eleven is only six-tenths of a mile out when you need something quick. Coffee is covered by a Starbucks Coffee Company at 0.5 miles and a McDonald's even closer at 0.4 miles. For a sit-down meal, Good Fortune is right at the 0.4-mile mark. Elizabeth Lake Estates Community Recreation Area is only 0.3 miles away — an easy walk for an afternoon outside — and Ridgway Bark Park is under a mile if you have a dog. Rising Lotus Yoga Studio and Howard White Gymnasium, both about 0.6 miles out, give you solid fitness options without a long drive.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Six minutes to Joint Base Langley-Eustis makes 526 Elizabeth Lake Drive one of the most practical addresses in Hampton for active-duty families. Five bedrooms handle PCS moves with ease — there's room for everyone, including visiting family during those hectic transition weeks. A VA loan can make the numbers work well here, and the 14-minute drive to NSA Hampton Roads keeps a second-base household manageable too.
For families upgrading
If your current home has run out of room, five bedrooms and three full baths across 2,587 square feet is a meaningful step up. The 1973 construction means solid bones and rooms with real dimensions — not the narrow layouts that became common in later decades. Add a neighborhood park less than a third of a mile away and a Harris Teeter within walking distance, and daily family life becomes noticeably easier.
