Caroon Farms
Neighborhood in Chesapeake, Virginia
Chesapeake County 23322
Colonial homes starting in the $820,000s
Homebuyers can find traditional homes like colonials and ranch-styles that were built in the late-1900s and sit on 3 to 5 acres of land. “There wasn’t just one builder," Mulkey says. "People bought lots and built their own homes. So, the houses here are all very different.” Properties sit farther off the neighborhood’s winding roads, with long driveways leading to two-car garages. “They’re all septic and well water properties, no city water,” adds Mulkey. The neighborhood only has around 100 houses, which don't go on the market often and typically sell in just over two weeks. Prices can range from around $820,000 to $1.4 million. The CAP Index gives Caroon Farms a crime score of 2 out of 10, which is below the national average of 4.

Annual events from the Civic Association and throughout Chesapeake
The Caroon Farms Civic Association holds community events throughout the year, including an Easter egg hunt, summer bonfires, ice cream socials and Halloween celebrations. “We’re not a normal neighborhood because everyone’s houses are so far apart, so we put all the kids on the back of a tractor and pull them through a hayride,” says Mulkey. The city also holds numerous events annually, including the Chesapeake Jubilee in May with amusement rides, food vendors, live entertainment and fireworks. The Virginia Symphony Orchestra puts on Symphony Under the Stars at Chesapeake City Park in June and a Holiday Brass Concert at the Chesapeake Conference Center in December. The city celebrates the holidays with their Deck the Hall drive-through light display and Fa La La Land, a week-long celebration with ballerina performances, carolers and holiday-themed food trucks. And the Battle of Great Bridge’s re-enactment at Battlefield Park honors the city’s Revolutionary War history.Chesapeake Expressway connects to I-64

The closest commuter airport, Norfolk International, is 20 miles north.Shopping and dining off the Chesapeake Expressway
