Huntington Homes for Rent

The historic Huntington neighborhood in Newport News is rich in cultural heritage, with landmarks such as the Ella Fitzgerald Theater and the Pearl Bailey Library honoring local icons. The Dorie Miller Community Center, named after a WWII Navy hero, is undergoing a $100 million revitalization to merge with the library, creating a modern community hub. Interstate 665 divides Huntington into two residential areas, with Newsome Park Elementary and a mix of single-family ranch homes and brick apartments to the north, and a variety of ranch, colonial-style townhouses, and American Foursquare homes to the south. Huntington is located near the James River, less than 60 miles southeast of Richmond, and offers public transportation options including bus stops and an Amtrak station nearby. While retail options within Huntington are limited, residents have access to a Piggly Wiggly grocery store and 7 Brew Coffee on Jefferson Avenue, and larger shopping centers are just 3 miles north in Carver. Dining options include the Train Station Restaurant, known for its seafood and live jazz, and Coastal Fermentory, a local brewery. Although there are no parks within Huntington, Briarfield Park is a short drive away, offering picnic areas, playgrounds, and sports complexes. The King-Lincoln fishing pier provides opportunities for saltwater fishing, and historical sites like the Newsome House and James A Fields House offer cultural attractions.
