Natural beauty and urban access converge

With its blend of charming suburban vibes, access to big-city amenities and lush natural beauty, Windsor’s rise in popularity is reflective of the entire Newport News area – though even among fierce competition, Windsor manages to stick out. “Windsor is just so convenient,” says Melinda Larson, Realtor with Iron Valley Real Estate Hampton Roads and longtime resident on Newport News. “But even with all of its access, it still has that suburban feel – it feels a bit farther back than the surrounding neighborhoods.” With small-town serenity and unbridled urban access, those looking for a lifestyle that allows for a bit of both could find it in Windsor.

Established styles on wooded lots

Along Windsor’s wide residential streets, many established styles of home are present. Among the most common types of home in the neighborhood are ranch styles, split levels and colonial revivals, though a variety of other traditional styles can be found. Townhouses are also found throughout the area. Thanks to the neighborhood’s more spaced-out nature, homeowners can take advantage of large, leafy lots that allow for sizeable yards – a fact that lends the neighborhood no shortage of curb appeal, with mature trees standing tall on well-tended lawns. “Thanks to the large military population in the area, you have a really diverse range of neighbors,” says Kelly DeLucia, Realtor with KW Allegiance. “From first-time buyers to people who have lived there for decades, the neighborhood is just a really great spot for so many people.” Prices for a townhouse typically start around $100,000 and reach as high as $250,000, while single-family homes range from $250,000 to $375,000.

Newport News Park has a bit of everything

Those looking to appreciate the area’s natural beauty have ample opportunity to do so at Newport News Park – a feature that many consider the best part of life in the area. “Newport News Park is an absolute staple of the community,” says DeLucia. “There’s so much to do, and the community loves to gather there.” The park is over 8,000-square-foot and features miles of hiking trails and a hard-packed, gravel bike loop over 5 miles long. Residents can play disc golf on its 18-hole championship course or go fishing in one of its reservoirs. The park is also an excellent spot for camping, featuring over 188 campsites – with canoes and kayaks available to rent, too. Younger residents can enjoy the Newport News Park Playground, which offers them an immersive play experience.
