Hidenwood
Classic architectural styles from the mid-20th-century
The Hidenwood area was built in the 50s and 60s, and a drive through the neighborhood reflects its history featuring classic architectural styles. The community is made up of brick, ranch-style homes and colonials. This is a heavily tree-lined enclave with well-maintained lawns creating a welcoming ambiance, while spacious lots provide ample room for outdoor living. There’s also Cape Cod and contemporary waterfront homes near The James River. Riverside retreats feature boat docking for exploring the waterways and fishing piers. If there’s no docking available, there are several nearby marinas. The median home price is $429,000, and due to its waterside location, this is a great place to lock in your property value as homes are selling in the millions. “The neighborhood itself is gorgeous, and in the spring, when the Azaleas bloom, it's breathtaking,” Quinn says.Newport News City Public Schools and Christopher Newport University
For education, kids may start at Hidenwood Elementary School, which gets a C from Niche, before going to Gildersleeve Middle School with a C-plus. Students may then attend Menchville High School, which earns a B-plus grade. Hidenwood is also adjacent to Christopher Newport University, a public liberal arts college consistently ranked as one of the best regional universities in the South by US News & World Report.Country clubs and community pools
Nestled among the live oaks and bound by the gentle waters of the James River is the James River Country Club, a private golf facility founded in 1932. This is a members-only club where people can unwind and enjoy tennis, golfing, swimming and dining. The club is also the site of the oldest golf museum in the world with artifacts dating back to the 18th century. Whether hitting a hole in along the green, narrow fairways overlooking the water or enjoying dinner and a cocktail at The Huntington Lounge, The James River Country Club invites members to experience serenity and history at their fingertips. Meet neighbors and become a Hidenwood Pool & Recreation Association member, serving the community since 1958. This is the perfect spot to soak up the sun, featuring a large pool with diving boards and a picnic area for summertime cookouts.Shopping centers and popular local businesses
For shopping, head to the City Center at Oyster Point on the weekends, less than three miles away, that boasts an abundance of upscale and unique businesses. At the heart of the center is a scenic fountain where, every First Friday of the month from May to September, folks gather to jam out to live music and support local vendors. There’s also the city’s Annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony with an illuminated fountain, carnival games and a holiday market. There is a Harris Teeter in the neighborhood for easy grocery trips and many eateries nearby. Make a reservation at Schlesinger’s Steakhouse, an upscale restaurant specializing in premium-cut steaks and seafood for dinner. Order a plate of Chesapeake Bay-style lump crab cakes and pair it with one of their 150 selections of world-class wine. Or grab a booth at Byrd’s Restaurant, where you can get a plate of classic, southern breakfast including their famous cinnamon roll pancakes.Convenient access to US Route 60
With easy access to US Route 60, Hidenwood is a prime location for those seeking a balance between urban convenience and natural tranquility.
