Buckroe Beach is a coastal neighborhood near the Bay
About 3 miles from Downtown Hampton, Buckroe Beach is a coastal community near the Chesapeake Bay. “It was a fabulous secret when I first moved out there 25 years ago,” says Sheila Johnson-Pane, Realtor with Sheila Pane Realty. She has worked in the area since her move and says that the neighborhood is still a “quaint and quiet” place. People can swim, fish and sail off the shores of the titular beach. Many homes cost under $400,000, although gated communities with more expensive properties populate the northern parts of the neighborhood. Students in the area attend Hampton City Public Schools, which receives a B from Niche.
Buckroe Beach and Park is open year-round
Buckroe Beach and Park, this neighborhood’s namesake, has a nearly 1-mile-long sandy bank. It is open all year, with lifeguards on duty between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Families can splash in the water and enjoy a picnic, and children can pretend to be sailors at the nautical-themed playground. During the summer, food vendors fill the boardwalk. The James T. Wilson Fishing Pier sits at the beach’s end and gives people a fishing license with their day or yearly passes. Salt Ponds is at the top of the neighborhood if someone is looking for a smaller beach. Southall Landings Marina and Salt Ponds Marina Resort are in the Buckroe Beach area, allowing their members to dock their boats. Both offer several amenities, including a swimming pool, fish cleaning stations and a clubhouse. For more activities, locals can travel the 3 miles into Downtown Hampton to explore the Hampton History Museum or watch a movie at the Virginia Air and Space Center.

Coastal gated communities in Buckroe Beach
The Pointe at Salt Ponds is a gated community at the top of Buckroe Beach. Many of these waterfront properties have personal docks in their backyards. Single-family contemporary homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s are situated upon landscaped lawns. Most of these houses have at least one balcony, letting residents watch the sun come up over the water. While three- and four-bedroom prices tend to fall between $775,000 and $875,000, many have sold for upwards of $1 million.
The rest of the neighborhood is filled with a variety of houses. Bungalows and ranch styles sitting on grassy lawns are common throughout, typically costing between $175,000 and $275,000. Two-story new traditional homes, many with colonial or French influences, sit on manicured lawns near the beach, and sidewalks line the roads. Homebuyers can expect to pay anywhere from $300,000 to $375,000 for these properties.
Walk the plank at the Blackbeard Pirate Event
Locals will travel into Downtown Hampton to enjoy the several events held throughout the year, including the summer concert series Groovin’ by the Bay at Mill Point Park. The Blackbeard Pirate Event is an annual celebration with reenactments of pirate fights and interactive activities. Southall Landings Marina and the Salt Ponds Marina Resort feature year-round social gatherings for their members.
Buckroe Beach Farmers Market
Buckroe Beach Farmers Market runs every Saturday morning between spring and fall and sells produce, baked goods and canned goods from local vendors. Residents shop for groceries at Food Lion and head to Buckroe Shopping Center for more stores, including Dollar General. In the shopping center, they can also eat a Southern American brunch at Laura’s Rise and Shine. Residents travel farther into Hampton to explore the many restaurants in the city, including Surf Rider, which is about 5 miles away. “It’s the best seafood,” Johnson-Pane says. Lowe’s and Target are about a 7-mile drive from the beach.
Buckroe Beach students attend Hampton City Schools
As part of Hampton City School District, students can start at Francis Asbury Elementary School, which earns a B-plus from Niche, before attending Benjamin Syms Middle School, rated B. Phoebus High School, which receives a C-plus, features the Academy of Digital Video Production, allowing them to work in television and media production or video media production.
Little traffic in Buckroe Beach
Andrews Boulevard acts as the main drag in the neighborhood. “There’s not a lot of traffic because there’s just the one-in and one-out road,” Johnson-Pane says. The road connects with US Route 258, about 2 miles outside the area. From there, drivers can easily access Interstate 64, which connects to major Virginia cities. Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) has bus routes that connect the beach to the rest of Hampton, although most people drive themselves. Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport, about 17 miles away, offers flights to Philadelphia and Charlotte through American Airlines.
Buckroe Beach’s flood plan
Because Buckroe Beach is right on the water, residents can expect a 1% annual flood chance. The Know Your Zone initiative classifies the neighborhood as Zone A, meaning it will be one of the first areas to evacuate or shelter in place during severe weather. Many homeowners with a mortgage are required to get flood insurance.
