PCS to Fort Gregg-Adams? Why 204 Prince George Ave Belongs on Your List.

If you've just received PCS orders to Fort Gregg-Adams, you're probably scrolling through listings, trying to figure out which neighborhood makes sense, how long the commute really is, and whether the house will actually work for your family. I get it — I've been there. As a Navy veteran's wife who's lived all around the Richmond and Hampton Roads areas, I know the stress of a military move firsthand. And as an MRP-certified agent, I've helped dozens of military families land in the right home on the first try.

One home I'd want you to see before you sign a lease or close elsewhere is 204 Prince George Ave in Hopewell's Crescent Hills Annex. It's the kind of property that checks boxes military families actually care about — short commute, flexible layout, real storage, and a neighborhood that feels like home from day one.

The Commute: Minutes From Fort Gregg-Adams

Let's start with the number one question every PCS family asks: how far is the drive to base?

204 Prince George Ave sits in Crescent Hills Annex, a well-established neighborhood in Hopewell that's roughly 10 minutes from Fort Gregg-Adams (formerly Fort Lee). That's one of the shortest commutes you'll find for off-base housing in the area. Whether you're reporting to the sustainment school, working logistics, or stationed at one of the tenant units, you'll spend less time on the road and more time with your family.

The base itself is a major Army installation — the Home of Army Sustainment — and the surrounding communities have grown to support it. But Crescent Hills Annex remains one of the closest residential neighborhoods with real character and space, unlike newer developments that tend to be further out.

3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, 2,259 Sq Ft — Built for Real Family Life

Military families need a home that flexes with the rhythm of service life: school mornings, homework sessions, a room that doubles as an office when TDY hits, and enough space that everyone isn't stepping on each other. This home delivers.

• Three bedrooms upstairs — the primary features dual closets for extra storage, and two additional bedrooms give kids or guests their own space.
• Two full bathrooms — no fighting over the shower on a Monday morning.
• A versatile flex room off the dining area — use it as a mudroom, home office, reading nook, playroom, or hobby space. It even has its own exterior door to the patio.
• A full basement — perfect as a recreation room, gym, media room, or workshop area. The space is there; you decide what it becomes.

Hardwood Floors, Newer Roof, and 1950s Craftsmanship

One thing you notice the moment you walk through the front door is the refinished hardwood floors. They flow through the foyer, family room, and dining room — warm, beautiful, and built to last. These aren't laminate or vinyl overlays. This is the real deal from the 1950s, maintained and restored.

The kitchen brings its own personality with custom wood cabinetry, a tiled backsplash, gas cooking, a breakfast bar, and built-in storage solutions that you just don't see in newer homes. It's functional, it has character, and it works hard for a busy family.

And when it comes to the big-ticket maintenance items? The roof has been replaced, so that's one less thing to worry about during your first years in the home. That kind of peace of mind matters when you're juggling a move, a new duty station, and a family.

Exceptional Garage and Workshop Storage

If you've got tools, gear, sports equipment, or a workshop hobby, this property stands out. The detached garage and workshop space offer significantly more storage than you'll find in most homes near base. There's room for a vehicle, plus a dedicated area for projects, workbenches, and equipment. For military families who arrive with a household full of gear — or who need space for duty-related equipment — this is a real advantage.

There's also a carport and additional backyard space behind the garage, giving you even more flexibility for parking, storage, or outdoor projects.

A Tight-Knit Neighborhood That Feels Like Home

Here's something that doesn't show up in a listing description but matters enormously, especially for military families: the neighborhood itself. Crescent Hills Annex is known for being genuinely close-knit. Neighbors look out for each other's kids. There are community traditions that carry on year after year. People wave from the porch, remember your dog's name, and show up when someone needs help.

For a military family arriving in a new town, that kind of welcome makes all the difference. You're not just buying a house — you're stepping into a community that already feels connected. And because Crescent Hills Annex is well-established with mature trees and generous lots, it doesn't have that sterile, cookie-cutter feel. Each home has its own personality, and the streets have shade, character, and quiet.

Weekend Downtime: River, Marina, and Waterfront Dining

When the duty week wraps up, you won't have to drive far to decompress. This home is positioned near some of the best outdoor recreation in the Tri-Cities:

• The Appomattox River — kayaking, fishing, and walking trails along the water. It's right in the neighborhood's backyard.
• Hopewell City Marina — a boat landing with easy river access for boating and waterfront activities.
• The Boathouse at City Point — a waterfront restaurant with sunset views over the river. Perfect for a family dinner or date night after a long week.

Living here, you get that rare combination of a quiet residential street and quick access to waterfront amenities. It's the kind of balance that makes weekends feel like a mini-vacation without ever leaving the area.
