Drawing many visitors, over 31 villages comprise Kiln Creek, where locals are just a short walk away from playing tennis, refreshing dips in the pool and annual community events. Located in Newport News and a portion of York County, The Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort is the neighborhood's beating heart. "Everybody wants to live in Kiln Creek; it is an award-winning golfing community," says Realtor Patrizia Ridout with CENTURY 21 Nachman Realty. "Also, the neighborhood is very safe and well-maintained." There is an elementary school right in the neighborhood, convenient for families. Aside from its amenities and tight-knit community feel, locals are just a short drive from some of the area's premier shopping districts.

Relaxing at Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort

Several green spaces, trails, community centers and family-friendly activities keep locals engaged daily. After school, Kiln Creek Park on Kiln Creek Parkway is where locals play basketball game or to take the kids for an afternoon on the playground. The 3.2-mile walking path that loops around is where locals walk the dog or take an afternoon jog. Kiln Creek's challenging greens unfold as a 6,972-yard, par 72 course designed by architect Tom Clark, named one of the five best courses in the state by Golf Digest. Residents can also enjoy a round of tennis or a lap around the Olympic-sized pool, where they can be part of the neighborhood swim team, The Kiln Creek Dolphins. After traipsing the fairways, it's time for brunch at Nest Kitchen & Taphouse, an upscale eatery inside the clubhouse, where the cherry-limeade stuffed French toast and a rotating selection of craft beer await.

Subdivisions close to neighborhood activities

Each of Kiln Creek's numerous villages offers differing aesthetics, with a blend of single-family residences, townhomes, condos and apartments. “There are also apartments too, and a community club with an exercise room,” Ridout says. Prices range from $120,000 for a two-bedroom condo to around $400,000 for a colonial with four bedrooms. "The housing market is very stable with homes usually selling in the $250,000 to $300,000 range," Ridout continues. Homes were primarily built in the 1990s in New Traditional, Colonial Revival and ranch-styles, offering Mediterranean style architecture though, the area is inland. Several lakes are peppered throughout the neighborhood, providing the opportunity for waterfront homes. Sidewalks weave their way through the neighborhood along with shimmering lakes and trees, providing much shade. Many homes feature multi-car garages, large windows, front porches and rest on small lots. Additionally, the area has a CAP index of 3, which is slightly lower than the national average of 4.
