Sailing toward serenity in Deep Creek
Resting on the shores of its namesake waterway near the confluence of the James and Warwick rivers, Deep Creek is one of the most secluded and serene neighborhoods in Newport News. The wooded enclave features riverside estates with private docks as well as traditional architecture, creating a cozy community for families just minutes from the city’s main shopping, dining and cultural centers. “A lot of the attraction is the neighborhood’s proximity to Christopher Newport University, which has built itself up as an entertainment hub,” says Carlyn Menser, a Realtor with RE/MAX Connect and a lifelong resident of Hampton Roads. Locals gather for performances at the university’s world-class Ferguson Center of the Arts, which is known to host renowned Broadway shows and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. From local marinas and yacht clubs to nearby schools and seasonal markets, Deep Creek offers a blend of coastal charisma and suburban comfort.

Ranch-style homes starting in the $350,000s
Homes in Deep Creek offer space and seclusion, with large lots separated by tall trees. Private piers and boat docks often come with riverside properties, while inland homes present a classic suburban feel with modest yards and multicar garages. Brick ranch-style, traditional Colonial Revivals and riverside cottages are all common, and the majority of properties date to the 1960s and 1970s. Buyers can expect most of these homes to list in the $350,000 to $450,000 range. Newer homes, although rare, tend to be the largest available and typically sell for $500,000 to $600,000. The CAP Index gives Deep Creek a crime score of 4 out of 10, which is equal to the national average.

Boating in Deep Creek
Waterside recreation is one of Deep Creek’s main draws, so it’s no surprise that many residents own boats. Whether they have a private dock or not, locals can always store their vessels at the James River Marina, which provides both wet and dry storage and repair services. “You’ll see lots of sailing in this area because of the deep-water access and the proximity to the Warwick Yacht Club,” Menser says. Sitting across the creek from the marina, the yacht club offers its members plenty of opportunities for boating, swimming and upscale dining. The club’s swim team is popular with area kids, while annual events such as the Oyster Roast draw visitors from all over the city. Just minutes from the neighborhood, Christopher Newport University serves as a cultural hub for the community with a calendar full of performances at the Ferguson Center for the Arts.
Covering more than 270 acres, Riverview Farm Park is a destination for kids’ playdates, weekend picnics and local soccer games. The spacious Fantasy Farm Playground includes a learning garden, a climbing wall and engaging sensory equipment, bordered by multiple picnic shelters and 2 miles of paved walking trails. Teens also enjoy practicing new tricks at the Riverview Farm Skatepark. After the occasional winter snow, the park becomes a wonderland, complete with gentle sledding hills. And in summer, residents often make the 50-mile drive south to the sandy shores of Virginia Beach.

Heading out on Warwick Boulevard
Warwick Boulevard, also known as U.S. Route 60, serves as the main north-south thoroughfare just outside the neighborhood. Hampton Roads Transit operates several bus lines along this corridor, which leads south past CNU and the Riverside Regional Medical Center. Drivers can also easily access Interstates 64 and 664, providing direct routes across the river to Norfolk and Chesapeake. For extended travel, the Newport News Williamsburg International Airport is just 5 miles away. The closest hospital is Sentara Port Warwick, which is located 2 miles east.
Locally sourced goods at Dean and Dons
With shopping centers lining Warwick Boulevard, residents don’t have to go far to grab groceries at Food Lion or Harris Teeter. Locals are known to dine at the longstanding Schooner’s Grill, a seafood spot that Menser says is popular. Down the road, “Dean and Dons is a locally owned shop that’s open every day” from April to early fall, Menser says. Family-owned since 1967, the combination farmers market and garden center offers everything from fresh, seasonal produce to locally sourced bread, honey, jam and eggs. Gardeners enjoy the shop’s colorful selection of plants, ranging from local roses and azaleas to tropical hibiscus imported directly from Florida.
Deep Creek is also “just a hop, skip and a jump from Port Warwick and City Center, where you’ll find so much to do,” Menser says. Here, shoppers will find a walkable town center with premier retailers and local restaurants surrounding a circular lake dotted with fountains, as well as a movie theater and a host of administrative offices. Less than 3 miles north, Patrick Henry Mall offers a traditional indoor mall experience surrounded by major retailers like Target, Best Buy and Costco Wholesale.
