Why this home stands out
What sets 737 Longleaf Lane apart is its dual-base convenience — six minutes to Joint Base Langley-Eustis and eight minutes to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown — without the premium price tag that often comes with that kind of proximity. The WOODCREEK neighborhood sits tucked against the edge of Newport News Park, one of the largest municipal parks on the East Coast, giving you green space and trails essentially at your back door.
WOODCREEK and the Newport News real estate market

Newport News itself is one of the larger cities in Hampton Roads, stretching from the James River up through the Virginia Peninsula, and WOODCREEK sits near its northern edge — close to York County and well-positioned for anyone commuting up or down the Peninsula.
