Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Scale and relative youth are the defining combination here. At 8,298 square feet built in 2016, 809 Riverside Drive offers the kind of space that most Peninsula addresses simply can't match without asking you to accept decades-old systems and finishes. Five full baths plus a half bath means no morning traffic jams, and five bedrooms gives every member of a large or multi-generational household genuine breathing room.

RIVERSIDE and the Newport News real estate market

Riverside Drive runs along one of Newport News's most established corridors, tracing the James River side of the city where mid-century character meets newer construction on generous lots. The street carries a quiet, residential confidence — wide, tree-lined, and largely insulated from cut-through traffic. Newport News itself is a city of real substance: 180,000 residents, a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene anchored by the Mariners' Museum, and a geographic position that puts you equidistant between the Hampton Roads harbor and the quieter upper Peninsula. The 23606 zip code in particular is one of the more sought-after pockets — close to Christopher Newport University, Riverside Regional Medical Center, and the James River waterfront parks that give this part of the city its identity. Daily life here moves at a comfortable pace without feeling remote from anything that matters.

What's nearby

Coffee is a short walk away — Column 15 at the Mariners' is 0.7 miles out, and Einstein's adds a second option at 1.0 mile. For meals, Discover the Abstractions and Regattas both sit within 0.9 miles, and a Chick-fil-A is right there at the same distance when you need something fast. The Great Lawn and CNU Volleyball Court, each about 1.0 mile away, give you accessible green space for weekend mornings or afternoon exercise. The Mariners' Museum Park trail system is also in the immediate orbit, adding miles of waterfront walking and cycling paths to the everyday routine.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is a 16-minute drive from 809 Riverside Drive — Langley AFB and Fort Eustis are both inside 17 minutes. For senior-grade officers or E-7 and above households where BAH supports a larger footprint, this address delivers the square footage and bedroom count to house a big family comfortably, with a VA loan making the financing picture straightforward.

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms and 8,298 square feet built in 2016 is the kind of combination that ends the search for families who've outgrown their current home. Everyone gets a real room, there's space for a dedicated home office or two, and the 2016 build year means you're not inheriting a long list of deferred maintenance on the systems that matter most.

More buyer questions
