Hilton - Newport News, VA Area Guide

An English-style village with a charming commercial district

Quaint Historic Great Location Shopping Restaurants

Built to resemble an English village, Hilton is a charming locale with a small-town feel. This quaint neighborhood features historic homes while condos, townhomes, and apartments give the area a modern edge. Hilton is nestled along the James River, providing a backdrop for several homes along with a small fishing pier. The neighborhood is best known for being home to Historic Hilton Village, an eclectic, pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare of locally owned businesses in cottage-style buildings. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located along Warwick Boulevard, Historic Hilton Village features cozy eateries, vintage shops, lowkey bars, a community theater, and more.

Although Hilton certainly feels like you have stepped back in time, residents still have easy access to modern amenities. Several large shopping hubs and restaurants are located just outside of Hilton. The neighborhood rests next to Huntington Park and Beach, a popular spot for swimming and other outdoor activities. Hilton is only four miles north of Downtown Newport News. The neighborhood is also convenient to Langley Air Force Base and several colleges including Christopher Newport University and Hampton University.
