Overlooking the James River, Newport News is a highly sought-after place to call home. Downtown Newport News actually sits on the south end of town on the river, while the heart of the city is the Deer Park neighborhood that blends commercial and residential areas. City Center at Oyster Point sits in the center of this area and features shops, restaurants, and office buildings. As you near the river, you’ll find the Mariners’ Museum and Park, the Virginia Living Museum, and Christopher Newport University. Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport and Interstate 64 make traveling to and from the city simple. Residents of Newport News live within minutes of Hampton, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach. At the north end of town along I-64, discover Newport News Park, a sprawling green space with abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation. Shopping malls, historic homes, and local museums dot the city’s landscape. Apartments, houses, and townhomes for rent in this riverside town range from affordable to upscale.
