Fox Hill has Chesapeake Bay access
Fox Hill has come a long way from its 17th-century origins. “It’s a unique area with a lot of waterways and deep-water access right in your backyard, which is a great premium feature,” says Jamie Shannon, a Realtor at eXp Realty with over 24 years of experience. Some residents live near the Chesapeake Bay shores, while others have private access to the Back River. The Fox Hill Neighborhood Center brings locals together for programs and their annual festival. And with Langley Air Force Base 5 miles away and downtown Hampton 3 miles away, locals have short commutes to work. Residents walk along the Grandview Beach access trail to see wildlife run around the nature preserve or spend the day relaxing on the sand at Buckroe Beach and Park. Fox Hill is a quiet neighborhood with easy access to beaches, Chesapeake Bay views and downtown Hampton.
Colonial Revivals and ranch-style homes on every street
Fox Hill has gated communities, townhouses and residential streets filled with single-family homes from the ‘50s, ‘70s, ‘80s and early 2000s. “It’s a pretty quiet area that’s not super beachy,” says Natalie Desurne, a Realtor with LPT Realty LLC who has over five years of experience. “My client moved there to be close to work in Hampton.” Waterfront townhouses in the gated Southall Landing community range from $350,000 to $400,000. Colonial Revival and ranch-style homes, often with four bedrooms and spacious lots, can sell for anywhere between $225,000 and $650,000. There is moderate space between each home to give neighbors some breathing room, and tall trees shade the homes. Some live in homes near Back River with private piers or close to Grandview Beach with backyards that face out toward Chesapeake Bay. The CAP Index gives Fox Hill a 2 out of 10 crime score, with 10 being the highest. The national average is 4.
Fox Hill has sidewalk lined streets providing plenty of walking oppurtunities.

Exploring Grandview Beach or Buckroe Beach
Fox Hill’s coastal location offers boat lovers and fishing enthusiasts easy access to Chesapeake Bay. Residents who don’t have a private pier dock their boats at Belle Isle Marina or Dandy Haven Marina. And when the urge hits to relax on sandy shores, locals can park on the side of State Park Drive and walk about 10 minutes along the access trail to Grandview Beach near the Grandview Nature Preserve. Grandview Beach is a secluded oasis of 2.5 miles of shoreline where people boat, fish or take in Chesapeake Bay. Beachgoers who need more space to relax drive to Buckroe Beach and Park, which has public parking, playground equipment and public restrooms. For some indoor fun, locals visit the Willow Oaks Branch Library or Fox Hill Neighborhood Center.

Ordering lunch at Mezcal Mexican Grill
Residents don’t have to visit downtown Hampton to find a restaurant besides the nearby McDonalds. Instead, they grab a table at Capri Pizza & Italian Restaurant for lunch or dinner. Others stop by Mezcal Mexican Grill for some street tacos or seafood chimichangas. Next door to Mezcal, Food Lion offers locals a wide range of daily essentials and groceries. Some get their groceries at Harris Teeter in the Willow Oaks Village Square. The central shopping hub is Peninsula Town Center, 6 miles away, where shoppers can pop into stores like Target, H&M and Bath & Body Works.

Celebrating community at the Fox Hill Festival
The Fox Hill Neighborhood Center, run by local volunteers, hosts programs and learning activities throughout the year. Their biggest event is the annual Fox Hill Festival. Every May, the event kicks off with a parade, and the rest of the day is dedicated to eating with neighbors, browsing local vendors, learning the history of Fox Hill and listening to live music. The Buckroe Beach Farmers Market also sees a crowd shopping local produce every Saturday morning in May.
Kecoughtan High Warriors race to first place
Students who live east of the Back River often attend Francis Asbury Elementary, home of the Foxes. Those on the west side learn at Samuel P. Langley Elementary. Both of these schools earn a B-plus from Niche. The next step is the B-rated Benjamin Syms Middle School before moving on to Kecoughtan High School, also earning a B-plus. The Kecoughtan High Warriors Boys Outdoor Track Team took the state title in 2024.
Kecoughtan High is a public school in Buckroe Beach, Hampton, VA.
Benjamin Syms Middle School has almost 900 students in grades 6-8.

Quick commutes to Newport News
Residents rely on their cars to get around Fox Hill or connect to East Mercury Boulevard to commute into Newport News. “It’s very easy to get to the other side of or off the peninsula over there,” Desurne says. Narrow sidewalks run throughout the residential streets, giving locals a path when going for a morning run or walking furry friends. Most can take a quick 10-minute drive to the Grandview Beach access trail or a seven-minute drive to Buckroe Beach.
Planes overhead and flood risks
Fox Hill is surrounded by beaches and split by the Black River, posing a flood risk. “Some flooding, but it’s hit or miss. It goes property-by-property for which homes are in flood zones and which flood zones,” Desurne says. The Langley Air Force Base sits 5 miles east of the neighborhood, but Desurne also says the plane noise isn’t very noticeable. Eight churches sit throughout the neighborhood, including the First United Methodist Church Fox Hill, which organizes an annual indoor yard sale for the United Methodist Men Foundation.
