Why this home stands out
What sets 78 Harris Creek Road apart is its rare proximity to Langley AFB — few homes for sale in Hampton put you this close to the flight line without the noise. The 1964 construction gives the home solid bones and a floor plan that lives larger than the square footage suggests. Add a walkable cluster of parks, grocery, and dining within a mile, and this address punches well above its size.
