Why this home stands out
Built in 2016, this 3,975-square-foot home gives you the kind of space that's genuinely hard to find in this price corridor — five bedrooms, four full baths, and a half bath, all under one relatively young roof. You're not dealing with the quirks of a decades-old build here. The systems are modern, the footprint is generous, and the layout is designed for the way people actually live today.
TURTLE CREEK and the Newport News real estate market
638 Newman Drive sits in a residential pocket of Newport News that punches above its weight for everyday convenience. Newport News stretches from the James River up through the Virginia Peninsula, and this address lands you in the northern half of the city — close to the water, close to the base, and close to the kind of walkable retail that makes daily errands feel less like a chore. The surrounding streets are a mix of established homes and newer construction, giving the area a lived-in, community feel without the dated infrastructure that sometimes comes with older neighborhoods. City services here fall under Newport News jurisdiction, which means solid road maintenance, accessible parks, and a municipal government that's accustomed to serving a large military-connected population. Whether you're commuting to Langley, heading downtown, or just grabbing coffee before work, the location puts you within easy reach of most of what you'll need on any given day.

Within a mile you'll also find a Starbucks, a Wawa, Jimmy John's, Vinny's Pizza and Pasta, and a Subway for quick weekday meals. Fitness options are equally close, with both Pivot Performance and Tidewater Performance Center less than a mile from the front door.
