Live music and sports at Hampton Coliseum
The area’s biggest draw is the Hampton Coliseum, a multi-use arena and an architectural jewel. Since it opened in 1969, it’s been the go-to destination for entertainment. There are concerts often, and iconic acts like Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin have recorded live albums here. It’s also a sports arena, hosting everything from college basketball conference tournaments to WWE shows and stock-car racing. The Coliseum also holds the annual Hampton Jazz Festival, one of the largest jazz events in the country. The three-day event has showcased some of the biggest names in jazz over the years, including Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. Riverdale residents can head to their community pool, while other neighbors can visit the Hampton Virginia Aquaplex for indoor pools and an outdoor waterpark. Air Power Park is a museum showcasing vintage aircraft and jets from the nearby Air Force base, as well as rockets from the NASA Langley Research Center. There’s also an observation deck with a boat launch and creekside views. Golfers can head to Hamptons Golf Course, a public 27-hole course. For those looking to escape the Virginia humidity, visit Sky Zone Trampoline Park or the local YMCA.

Ranch-style homes and condos
There are several residential areas surrounding its central hub. The area offers luxury condos with private clubhouses, apartments that sit on top of retail businesses and single-family homes in established neighborhoods. 1960s Ranch-style homes and split-level houses with attached garages comprise most of the community. The Southwest Branch River backs up to some homes with marshes and low-lying wetlands, while others have scenic views of Coliseum Lake from their porches. Single-family homes typically sell for $250,000 to $350,000, while condos go for $150,000 to $250,000. "There isn't much turnover for homes in the area, which is good; it’s a sign of stability," adds Shannon.
