Briarfield gives residents access to all of Hampton Roads

Briarfield is a neighborhood in Hampton, Virginia, that's close to everything. Nearby shopping centers make errand runs or shopping sprees convenient, while sprawling outdoor spaces allow residents to get active. Various housing options offer potential buyers different price ranges and architectural styles. Plus, easy access to interstates 664 and 64 allows locals to commute throughout the area quickly. “Being so close to those roadways expands your network into all of Hampton Roads,” says Jessica Concepcion, an associate with Re/Max Peninsula who has sold numerous homes in the area.

Outdoor spaces and annual events

The nearly 50-acre Briarfield Park lies roughly in the center of the neighborhood. Little League teams play on the lighted fields, kids run around the playground and people get active on the five tennis courts or the fitness trail. Nearly 150 domestic and wild animals call nearby Bluebird Gap Farm, a public park and petting zoo, home. On this 60-acre farm, pigs and goats live next door to whitetail deer and alpacas. An outdoor stage hosts performers during various events like the Bluebird Gap Fall Festival, a two-day celebration with ax throwing, hayrides, a pumpkin patch and more. The farm’s Azalea Trail offers walkers views of Newmarket Creek and the farm’s large duck pond. The Hampton Coliseum, located just across Interstate 64, hosts everything from monster-truck shows to music festivals. The West Hampton Community Center is also in the area, and it has a gym, basketball courts, an arts and crafts room, and an indoor rock-climbing wall, while nearby War Memorial Stadium hosts the Peninsula Pilots minor league baseball team.
