Our read on this home

At a glance

802 Thimbleby Drive is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Newport News with 2,044 square feet built in 1992. Eight minutes from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, it sits close to parks, groceries, and everyday conveniences in a well-connected part of the city.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 802 Thimbleby Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage for a three-bedroom home — over 2,000 square feet — and a location that puts two major military installations within a short drive. The half-bath adds everyday practicality, and the 1992 build era typically means solid construction with enough age to carry real character without the unpredictability of much older stock.

COLONY PINES and the Newport News real estate market

802 Thimbleby Drive sits in the Denbigh area of Newport News, a part of the city that long-time residents tend to stay in once they arrive. The streets here have a settled, residential feel — mature trees, established lots, and neighbors who actually know each other. Denbigh runs along the northwestern edge of Newport News, giving you quick access to Interstate 64 without the noise of living right on a major corridor. Newport News itself is one of the larger cities on the Virginia Peninsula, home to a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene, and a population shaped in large part by the military and shipbuilding industries. That mix creates a community that's practical, diverse, and genuinely rooted. Whether you're drawn to the James River, the city's parks system, or simply the convenience of having everything within reach, this part of Newport News delivers without asking you to compromise on space or accessibility.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are easy from Thimbleby Drive. Neighborhood Market, MP International, and La Norteña Latin Store are all within 0.8 miles, giving you solid grocery options including international selections. When you'd rather not cook, Cazadores Mexican Grill Carniceria and Hop N Shop / Zero's Subs are right in the same radius. For fresh air and exercise, Colony Pines Park is just 0.6 miles away, Huntington Pointe Pet Park is 0.8 miles out — a plus if you have dogs — and Woodside Park rounds out the options at a flat mile from your front door.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is eight minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is eleven — which means 802 Thimbleby Drive works for service members at either installation. A VA loan can make this kind of square footage and location more accessible than you might expect, and the Denbigh area of Newport News has a long track record of welcoming military households.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown your current space, 2,044 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths gives you room to breathe. The half-bath on the main level is one of those details that sounds small until you're living without one. Add three nearby parks within a mile and a grocery run that takes ten minutes, and daily life here has a rhythm that's hard to argue with.
