Why this home stands out
What sets 706 Yorktown Road apart is the rare combination of genuine space — over 3,700 square feet, five bedrooms, and more than an acre of land — inside a tight-knit city that rarely delivers lots this size. Built in 2005, the home hits a sweet spot between modern construction and established neighborhood character, giving you room to spread out without sacrificing proximity to the base or the waterfront community feel Poquoson is known for.
POQUOSON HEIGHTS and the Poquoson real estate market
Poquoson Heights is one of those neighborhoods where the streets feel unhurried and the lots have breathing room — a refreshing contrast to the denser subdivisions found elsewhere on the Virginia Peninsula. The area sits within the independent city of Poquoson, a small, tight-knit coastal community bordered by the Back River and Chesapeake Bay. With a population under 13,000, Poquoson punches above its weight in quality of life: low traffic, a genuine small-town atmosphere, and a fiercely loyal community of long-term residents who take pride in where they live. Yorktown Road runs through the heart of this setting, and the Poquoson Heights address puts you close to the water without being on top of it. The city's parks, boat ramps, and walking trails are woven into everyday life here, and the short hop to Langley AFB makes it a natural landing spot for military families looking to put down real roots. If you've been searching for elbow room on the Peninsula without sacrificing convenience, this corner of Poquoson consistently delivers.
