An outdoor classroom in Newport News
In 2022, The Newport News Green Foundation partnered with Virginia Tech and the US Forest Service to create Sarfan Food Forest, a 5-acre garden near the Marshall neighborhood in Newport News intended to address food scarcity through education and sustainable gardening. The food forest features a universal garden, berry patch, pollinator meadow and outdoor classroom where local students can learn about edible plants and the ecological systems that support healthy foods. Sarfan Food Forest is part of a more significant reinvestment in Marshall and the surrounding communities in downtown Newport News, where local employers like Newport News Shipyard and the US Navy have created opportunities for students to become more involved with art, STEM and the outdoors.

Starter homes, investment properties and more
The streetscapes in Marshall are laid out in a perfect grid between Interstate 664 and Wickham Avenue, a series of narrow one-way streets populated with modest homes, churches and recreation centers. "There are tons of historic homes with early 1900s architecture," says Dana Robbins, Realtor and associate broker with RW Towne Realty. "The homes have great bones, so they’re popular with investors looking to make renovations and resell the property to new home buyers.” Architectural styles in Marshall include ranches, bungalows and American Foursquares — some of which have been converted into two-level duplexes — priced between $150,000 and $380,000.

Supporting the growing commercial scene
Marshall is located near The Yard District, an up-and-coming commercial district on the banks of the James River. The Yard District is home to several new shops and eateries, including the Train Station Restaurant — a seafood joint located inside a historic train depot where diners can tap along to live jazz music on the restaurant’s riverfront patio — and Coastal Fermentory, a friendly neighborhood brewery serving hard kombucha and specialty beers with names like Chill Vibes, Free Expression and Fresh Perspective. “The Yard has a cool artistic flair to it,” says Robbins. “The area is still up-and-coming, but restaurants and small businesses are already buying the available retail spaces.”
