I Got to Know Yorktown on a Basketball Court

An old wooden ship docked on the York River in Yorktown.

Back when I was an athletic director and coached high school basketball in Chesapeake, we played a Yorktown school once a year.

Every time we made that drive, I noticed how different it felt from the rest of Hampton Roads. Less traffic, a slower pace and a little more space between the houses. It always seemed like a great place to raise a family.

And it's still close enough to commute to the naval bases or the bigger cities to the south. If it's time for you to move on from your Yorktown house, we'll give you a straight answer and a fair cash offer, and you pick the closing date.

Yorktown is the heart of York County, home to about 71,400 people (U.S. Census Bureau). Homes here still sell at a steady pace, but a quick sale on the open market usually means a house that's updated and ready to show:

  • Prices are high, and buyers expect a lot. York County's median sale price was about $445,000 for the three months ending August 2026, down about 2% from a year earlier, and the median home sold in 28 days (Redfin).
  • A strong military community. With Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown nearby, PCS moves are a common reason to sell.
  • Many owners are retirees. About 20% of residents are 65 or older, and downsizing is a common reason to sell.

If your house needs work, or you'd rather skip the showings, selling your house for cash in Yorktown lets you set your own timeline.
