Phoebus’ rich history and lively community
Bordered by Hampton River and Mill Creek, the waterfront community of Phoebus was founded in the 17th century in the coastal city of Hampton, Virginia. “Many amazing things are going on in Phoebus, and it’s very close to Fort Monroe, which is one of the most historical spots in Hampton,” Realtor Susannah Oskarsson with Abbitt Realty says. The homes in Phoebus reflect their history, exuding turn-of-the-century charm with Cape Cods and renovated two-story homes, especially near the water. Students attend Hampton City Public Schools, and historic Hampton University is right on the water. Boating and golfing flourish here, and many residents spend their days outside during the warmer months. Phoebus also has access to many dining, entertainment and recreation options in Hampton, Virginia.
Renovated historical homes in varying styles
Because of its historical significance, Phoebus homes are steeped in history and are in a variety of styles and states of renovation. Renovated builds with four to five bedrooms can be found throughout the neighborhood, such as spacious Cape Cods or two-story residences from the early 1900s with wide front porches and balconies. These homes can cost between $350,000 and $450,000. Brick ranch-style dwellings on the north side of town can be dated back to the 1970s and cost around $300,000. Three-bedroom ranch homes with colorful wood and vinyl siding near Pembroke Avenue are priced closer to $200,000 and are sometimes renovated with new interiors and fresh paint.

Mornings are best begun at Mango Mangeaux, a favorite featured on Shark Tank and in Forbes Magazine for its signature mango preserves. “They are very well known, and their business is always hopping and busy,” Oskarsson says. They offer Creole and Neo Soul-inspired cuisine, including their sweet and savory fresh-caught fish, grits and warm gumbo. The American Theater, a historic theater that opened in 1909, is the place to go for a concert or show. Locals can also visit The Charles H. Taylor Visual Arts Center to see an exhibition or sign up for an art class.
