Peaceful, suburban living close to the Warwick River
Reservoir is a neighborhood which borders the Warwick River to the west and Lee Hall Reservoir to the north, but there’s more to see here than waterfront properties. For starters, the reservoir connects to Newport News Park – one of the largest city-run parks in the country. There’s also Warwick Boulevard on the neighborhood’s east end, making for easy access to commercial amenities, like Food Lion. Plus, as local realtors like David Tortolini with eXp Realty point out, desirable schools are within reach, such as Woodside High next door. “Woodside High is a very popular high school, and people really like that one because they have a great music program.”
Diverse Reservoir homes at relatively affordable prices
Home prices can vary, but not too widely: the range is $200,000 up into the low $300,000s. Home styles can vary as well, so homebuyers should expect to see everything from townhouses to condos to single-owner homes. Cul-de-sacs, gently curving streets and sparse but decorative landscaping installations – these are all the norm in this neighborhood. A three-bedroom condo represents the entry point of the market here, while classic styles like ranches and Cape Cods from the 1980s represent the middle of the curve. For example, a three-bedroom ranch on a corner lot with a fenced backyard can go for $240,000. It's the newer 2-story townhouses that command the highest price points, and these are immediately recognizable due to their aesthetic: a modern Craftsman look with stone and steel accents, done up in fresh color palettes of taupe, mineral blue and cream. Stark white finishes inside enhance the contemporary vibe.

Woodside High School's main entrance.
Newport News City public schools just down the road
David Dutrow Elementary enrolls nearly 500 students, and Niche gives it an A in diversity. Mary Passage Middle elevates the student population to 1,000, but it too earns an A in diversity. Woodside High has over 1,700 students enrolled, and it scores high across many Niche categories: an A in clubs and activities and a B-plus overall. The school offers an Arts and Communication magnet program, where students can concentrate in art forms like music or communication endeavors like public relations.
Head outdoors at Newport News Park
Reservoir is primarily residential space mixed with commercial amenities, so there aren’t many small parks dotting the neighborhood. However, Newport News Park to the north more than makes up for it. Residents can hike on over 30 miles of trails, or rent a bike and hit the 5-mile multi-use path. Facilities encourage unique activities, such as archery, disc golf and flying model airplanes. For wildlife lovers and history buffs, there are educational signs and Civil War artifacts.

Shopping and dining along Warwick Boulevard
Warwick Boulevard is loaded with eateries, giving residents an abundance of options, any night of the week. While fast food options exist, there are local establishments to explore. Papo’s Columbian Restaurant dives into Latin American cuisine with coconut rice, grilled steak, seafood and fried plantains. Supreme Restaurant focuses more on soul food in a funky setting, such as fried chicken and oxtail. Even more casual is The Original Pizza Sam, where hot slices are served up on bright red tables.

Getting around Reservoir
Warwick Boulevard runs down the center of the neighborhood, and is frequently trafficked by buses. Taking it north about a mile leads to Washington Boulevard, another main thoroughfare leading to cultural attractions like the Army Transportation Museum. Interstate 64 runs in parallel to Warwick Boulevard, offering an easy way to explore the wider region – the Busch Gardens amusement park is a mere 10 miles north.
