The Downtown neighborhood of Newport News puts you right in the heart of the action. I-664 runs through the neighborhood to connect you to the cities of Hampton and Norfolk. Those who prefer to live without a car have access to several bus routes, including Hampton Roads Transit's 101 and 103. Rental options in Downtown Newport News are mostly apartments in multi-family and multi-use complexes.
Downtown's location along the James River makes it an excellent option for those who love the outdoors. Several parks line the river, including Christopher Newport Park and Victory Landing Park. Relax in the parks and watch the ships pull into the pier, then head over to the Train Station Restaurant for seafood on the patio or to attend a weekly jazz concert. On weekends, explore the nearby beaches which you can access in less than one hour.
