A little farm town becomes an urban community
Once its own small town, today Denbigh is an urban neighborhood in Newport News. “Denbigh is a great location. It’s in the middle of everything and is convenient to shopping centers, Joint Base Langley-Fort Eustis and the Newport News Shipyards,” says Keisha Deering, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker NOW and a resident of Newport News. Before the 1960s, the Denbigh neighborhood primarily consisted of churches, farms and railroad stops. During the housing boom of the post-war 1960s and the concurrent development of nearby military facilities, subdivisions and commercial strips quickly sprang up across the area, attracting new residents and homeowners. “There is a great mix of people here, including longtime residents and military families,” says Deering. “Neighbors are protective of each other and of their community. They work hard to make sure their homes are kept up.”
Brick ranchers and bilevels
The predominant home styles in Denbigh are brick ranch-style homes and bilevel houses with garages. While some homes maintain their original charm, many newly renovated properties exist. There are also condos, townhouses and apartments here. Home prices in the neighborhood range from $300,000 to around $450,000. Most homes sit on medium-sized lots with expansive backyards perfect for patios and pools. Quiet, tree-lined streets are plentiful throughout the community, and many homes offer views of wooded areas or of Lucas Creek’s marshlands. “Inventory is low. Homes are usually selling in a few days to a couple of weeks,” says Deering.
Focusing on academics and aviation
Students in Denbigh may begin their schooling at T. Ryland Sanford Elementary School, which has a C rating from Niche. Mary Passage Middle School also holds a C rating. Denbigh High School is rated C-plus. The high school’s nationally recognized Aviation Academy specializes in aircraft maintenance, piloting, engineering and aviation safety fields.
Playtime, parks and piers
Residents of Denbigh have access to high-tech entertainment and outdoor fun. Both Tagtime Laser Tag and Surge Adventure Park are in the neighborhood. Nature lovers will want to explore Denbigh Park, nestled among the marshlands and wetlands. Locals can launch a kayak from the boat ramp, explore the Warwick River or follow the small walking trail through the marsh. Anglers will want to bring a rod and reel to the fishing pier. A visit to the Mariner’s Museum means a day of nautical adventure. The maritime museum has over 32,000 artifacts and is home to a life-sized replica of the ironclad warship that revolutionized naval warfare. Nature fans will enjoy strolling on the award-winning Noland Trail, a five-mile footpath offering views of wildlife.
A melting pot of markets and menus
Jefferson Avenue has a Trader Joe’s and an Aldi for groceries. The Jefferson Commons shopping center is home to big-name retailers like TJ Maxx, Home Goods and Old Navy. Patrick Henry Mall is less than 3 miles away. For those who don’t want to travel, the community has plenty of local options, including Denbigh & Warwick, a small gift shop with a curated selection of artisan soaps, fragrances and home décor.
When hunger strikes, there are plenty of choices. “Denbigh is definitely a melting pot of culinary options,” says Deering. Tres Borrachos, a Mexican restaurant, serves traditional Latin fare in a vibrant setting. The authentic Puerto Rican street food at DeRican Chef brings the taste of the islands to Virginia. A good way to end the day is with a local draft and apps from Craft 60 Taphouse & Grill. Or say good night with a sweet treat from Pasteles De Maria bakery.
Family fun and jazz fests
The Denbigh Day Parade and Festival is held in September at the Courthouse Way Community Center. For 65 years, this family friendly event has included a parade, music, games, train rides, and more. In June, locals look forward to the Hampton Jazz Festival and its accompanying 757 Extravaganza Marketplace where jazz fans and shoppers can listen to great music while exploring the offerings of local artisans and vendors at the Hampton Roads Convention Center.
Transportation
Denbigh is flanked to the east by Interstate 64. Denbigh Boulevard runs north-south through the community and Warwick Boulevard (U.S. Route 60) runs east and west. Williamsburg/Newport News Airport is 2 miles from Denbigh and Norfolk International is just under 30 miles.

Denbigh is a car-dependent city with a slightly above average crime score of 5 out of 10.
