An independent city on the southeastern side of the Virginia Peninsula, opposite Norfolk and Portsmouth across the Hampton Roads, Newport News has around 179,000 residents and is Virginia’s fifth largest city. The city takes its name from William and Thomas Newce who established a “new port settlement” in the 1620s. Being seated on the large and winding James River, which feeds into the Hampton Roads, Newport News relies heavily on shipping and ocean-related industries. There are also two international airports in the area and corporate railroad and transportation giants.

The future of Newport News is aimed to grow very bright. The area has traditionally been known as a blue-collar city, but it is undergoing a distinct change in order to support its growing affluence. The historic downtown is getting a facelift while places like Port Warwick are being created to bring in thriving commercial opportunities. New urban living initiatives are popping up all over the city, as well. Planned communities and new Urbanism projects are just beginning to change the way people live in Newport News. Eventually, city planners hope to turn the city into a cultural and commercial center of the Hampton Roads sprawl, and they look to be doing a good job. All of these elements make the Newport News real estate market very accessible and a smart place to live.
