Why this home stands out
Square footage like this — 3,168 finished feet in a home built in 1930 — is genuinely rare at this zip code. The bones reflect an era when rooms were built to live in, not just to photograph: thick walls, generous proportions, and a layout that has room for a real dining table, a home office, and guests who stay more than a weekend. Three full bathrooms seal the deal for households that need them.
HUNTINGTON HEIGHTS and the Newport News real estate market
Belvedere Drive sits in the southern end of Newport News, a city that stretches from the James River waterfront all the way up the Virginia Peninsula.

When people search for homes in newport news va, they often discover that the 23607 zip code offers more square footage per dollar than many comparable Peninsula neighborhoods. Newport News itself is a city of roughly 180,000 people with deep ties to the U.S. Navy and Air Force, a thriving shipbuilding industry, and a park system that punches well above its weight. The James River is a short drive south, and the broader Hampton Roads metro — including Hampton, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach — is easily accessible via Interstate 664 and Jefferson Avenue.
