  magine a storybook village where neighbors meet for picnics on a grassy town square, where your favorite restaurants and specialty shops are a stroll away, and a moonlight concert is playing in the pavilion just beyond your front door. It is the best of yesterday, just as the tales have been passed down.
Now imagine that this storybook town exists today…in your world…right where you need it. Oyster Point of Newport News is a two-minute drive; Interstate 64 and the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport are nearby.
It sounds like a fairy tale, but it is Port Warwick, where the apartment homes of On The Square await you. These exquisite homes tell a story of comfort, a story of refinement…the story of your lifestyle.
If every home tells a story, these apartments have quite a plot twist. On The Square is proud to present apartment homes unlike any you’ve seen on the Virginia Peninsula.
