Built for defense workers in the 1940s, Stuart Gardens is a living piece of Newport News history.

“There’s so much to do,” Concepcion says. “There are so many parks in the area, and this neighborhood is close to so much.” In Stuart Gardens, Anderson Park pushes up to the Newport News Channel.

The adjacent Monitor-Merrimac Overlook Park also has a public beach, as well as a fishing pier that reaches into the water. Buckroe Beach, one of the area’s most popular, is about 11 miles away and gives residents access to the Chesapeake Bay.
