Morrison Homes for Rent

Morrison is a residential neighborhood in central Newport News. While suburban roads are quiet, it’s a short drive to scenic outdoor spaces and the expansive City Center at Oyster Point, a mixed-use facility great for quick errands or weekend entertainment. Plus, the neighborhood is near major roadways that lead throughout the city and the state. “It’s so close to Interstate 64, making all of the Hampton Roads area accessible,” says Jessica Concepcion, an associate with Re/Max Peninsula and a 20-plus-year Newport News resident. “It’s near employment hubs like the shipyard and has affordable and market-rate housing.” Sandy Bottom Nature Park is just outside the neighborhood. Sandy Bottom Lake is the centerpiece of this roughly 450-acre outdoor space, and visitors can rent boats to cruise through the water or stand on a wooden platform to watch migratory birds fly overhead .
