Sedgefield
Suburban Neighborhood in Newport News, Virginia
Newport News County 23601, 23605
Just North of Mercury Boulevard lies Sedgefield, a small suburb situated in the heart of Newport News. Whether you're a foodie, a nature lover or seeking family-friendly activities, Sedgefield offers a convenient lifestyle.
As you drive through Sedgefield, you'll find Highway 17, the main thoroughfare that runs through the neighborhood. "The area is nearby lots of parks, dining and shopping," says Charles Holloway, a realtor with Keller Williams Elite-Peninsula.
Regarding residential living, Sedgefield features a linear, grid-layout pattern with small lots and driveways. The architectural styles of the homes vary, offering a diverse blend of designs. You'll find ranch-style homes with brick and linoleum exteriors, Colonial-style homes with attached garages, and Cape Cod cottages with steeply sloping roofs. One of Newport News's key attractions is its affordability compared to Hampton or York County, and Sedgefield is no exception. Whether you're looking for a cozy three-bedroom for as low as $270,000 or a newly built four-bedroom for up to $400,000, Sedgefield may have the home for you.
Younger children may attend Sedgefield Elementary School, which prides itself on its diversity and has earned an A rating in that category, according to Niche. Students at Hines Middle School can explore extracurricular activities such as robotics and chess, while Warwick High School, one of the oldest high schools in the city, provides a fully accredited education. Upperclassmen at Warwick High may apply to the Governor's Health Sciences Academy, which offers a STEM-based curriculum and hands-on learning experiences.
Walmart is located on Jefferson Avenue for groceries, and food lovers will rejoice at the array of nearby eateries. For a taste of classic American fare, head to Gus's Hot Dog King, a local staple serving hot dogs, burgers and homemade banana pudding since 1972. If you're in the mood for West African soul food, the aromatic flavors of Lormnava Afrik Cuisine will transport your taste buds. And for those seeking southern comfort, Rocky Mount BBQ is the spot to savor delicious barbecue dishes.
When it's time to indulge in retail therapy, The Jefferson Flea Market awaits, hosting hundreds of vendors weekly. And for those seeking big-box department stores, Patrick Henry Mall is conveniently located only 5 miles away. The nearby Historic Hilton Village, less than a mile away, boasts a charming selection of eclectic and locally owned shops, boutiques, and restaurants to explore.
Sedgefield also provides abundant recreational activities to keep you entertained and active. The Peninsula Family Skating Center offers themed skating nights, and if you're in the mood for a low-key game of pool, Pockets Billiards is the place to be. And when the summer heat calls for a dip in the pool, the Midtown Aquatics Center has a public swimming pool that hosts local swim meets and offers water aerobics classes. At the Main Street Library, you can join art classes, participate in clubs and enjoy a wide range of family-friendly events.
If you're ready to embrace the great outdoors, Sedgefield offers a natural oasis off Big Bethel Road. Sandy Bottom Nature Park, a sprawling 465-acre nature preserve, boasts big beech trees, winding trails for long bike rides and tranquil kayaking opportunities. Whether you're exploring the local eateries or engaging in recreational activities, Sedgefield is a place where you just may feel at home.
