Boulevard
Ranch-style homes starting at about $250,000
Boulevard's winding, cul-de-sac-heavy streets sheltered by towering pines and bushy oaks are characterized by brick, hipped roof ranch homes built in the 1950s and 1960s that range between $250,000 and $375,000. Larger split-level colonial-style dwellings with upwards of four bedrooms can price north of $400,000.Track teams at Menchville High School, CNU blocks away
Students in Boulevard are served by the Newport News Public Schools district. Children can go to Hidenwood Elementary School or Ethel M. Gildersleeve Middle School while teenagers may attend Menchville High School to the west of Boulevard off Menchville Road. Earning an overall Niche grade of B-plus, the high school regularly competes for state championships in boys' indoor and outdoor track and offers a student newspaper called "The Lion's Roar."Boulevard also neighbors the campus of Christopher Newport University, which has a total undergraduate enrollment of over 4,000 students. "Boulevard definitely has that college town vibe with Christopher Newport University nearby, but it's also a good family community with lots of residential homes in the area," Kearns says.
Easy access to I-64, local bus stops

Several Hampton Roads Transit bus routes also run through the area with many stops along Warwick while Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport is only 5 miles outside of Boulevard.Hiking and kayaking at Mariners' Lake Natural Area, living museum
On the southeastern end of the Virginia Peninsula, Boulevard residents are close to multiple scenic parks and attractions.

Go for a run on the park's 5-mile pathway or test your photography skills with stunning shots of Mariners' Lake. Just east of Boulevard is Deer Park, offering a large playground, two baseball fields and a picturesque view of Deer Park Lake. Stationed directly next to Deer Park off J. Clyde Morris Boulevard is the Virginia Living Museum. Housing 250 species of native animals, guests can get up close and personal to red wolves, river otters and raccoons.Hiddenwood Shopping Center, 3 miles to City Center at Oyster Point
For ingredients to make a home-cooked meal, head to the local Harris Teeter off Warwick or pick up essentials from Food Lion stationed inside Hidenwood Shopping Center, which also contains a Family Dollar and a myriad of restaurants. If you're looking to eat out, Byrd's is one of the top local eateries in the area. A popular spot to gather for brunch, Byrd's offers chicken and waffles, cinnamon roll pancakes and signature mimosas. Schooners Grill is another neighborhood favorite, featuring build-your-own pizzas, chicken wings and a "Seafood Feast" that includes shrimp, flounder and crab cake. City Center at Oyster Point is 3 miles east of Boulevard. A business district that features restaurants, retail markets and a movie theater, City Center is an excellent place to give yourself some TLC with friends.
