Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

A mid-century home on Potomac Avenue gives you solid bones from 1953 and a layout that uses every square foot. Three bedrooms and two full baths fit comfortably into 1,400 square feet. Two military installations sit within 13 minutes. Briarfield Park is less than a mile away. The neighborhood is quiet, established, and close to the things you actually use every day. That combination is harder to find than it looks.

ALL OTHERS AREA 104 and the Hampton real estate market

Potomac Avenue sits in a residential pocket of Hampton that has been home to working families and long-term owners for decades. The streets here are lined with mid-century ranches and bungalows on modest lots. Sidewalks connect the blocks, and the pace is calm without feeling isolated. Neighbors tend to stay, which gives the area a settled, familiar feel. This is the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23605 across multiple market cycles. Hampton itself is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the country, and it carries that history in its bones. The city stretches from the James River to the Chesapeake Bay, with waterfront parks, a downtown arts scene, and easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads. Interstate 64 is nearby, putting Norfolk, Newport News, and Virginia Beach within a reasonable drive. Hampton's location at the center of the region makes it a practical base for getting around the whole metro area.

Roughouse Boxing and Fitness MMA is 1.0 mile away for a solid workout. McDonald's and 7-Eleven are both within 0.9 miles when you need coffee or a quick stop.
