Why this home stands out
What sets Unit 4A apart is the combination of generous square footage and a waterfront-adjacent address that most condos in this price range simply can't match. At 1,671 square feet across three bedrooms, you get the breathing room of a single-family home with the low-maintenance lifestyle of a condo. Windward Towers sits right along the James River corridor, meaning water views and riverside parks are part of everyday life here — not a weekend treat.
WINDWARD TOWERS and the Newport News real estate market
Windward Towers occupies one of the more scenic stretches of Newport News, hugging the James River shoreline in the city's southern end. The community has a settled, established character — brick construction, mature landscaping, and neighbors who tend to stay a while. River Road itself is a quieter residential artery, but it connects quickly to the broader grid, and warwick boulevard newport news va is just a short drive north, giving you a straight shot to shopping, dining, and the rest of the city. Newport News is one of Hampton Roads' most geographically expansive cities, stretching from the James River up through the Virginia Peninsula, and this address plants you near its southern waterfront tip — close to nature, close to bases, and well-connected to everything in between. The surrounding area blends older residential neighborhoods with parks and local businesses, giving it a lived-in, community feel rather than a cookie-cutter suburban vibe.
