Newmarket Creek Homes for Rent

Buyers can find established Postwar homes along Newmarket Creek’s organized suburban streets while living only minutes away from beaches and parks along the James River and a massive marshland preserve in neighboring Isle of Wight County. “Most people stay on either side of the tunnel,” says Raul Mendez, a real estate agent with eXp Realty. “Wherever they’re working, that’s usually where they end up buying.” The neighborhood is close to Interstate 64 for access to the wider Hampton Roads region, and local restaurants and retailers are just a block north. As far as the market goes, Mendez says that “it’s a combination of starter homes, some larger customs and properties that might need some TLC as well.” Newmarket Creek has a variety of brick ranch-style homes and bilevels built from the 1940s through the ‘80s, as well as New Traditionals built within the last decade. Prices start around $140,000 for three-bedroom homes in need of renovation and go for as much as $450,000 for newer four-bedroom custom homes. Streets are grid-patterned, and sidewalks aren’t universal, which allows some homes to have larger lawns. Newport News City Public Schools is the main district serving
