Farmington offers lush greenery and convenience
Tall trees, grassy lawns and narrow roads welcome Farmington residents when they return home. “Farmington is a tucked away, established melting pot community because it has bigger and smaller homes, which offer diversity in the neighborhood,” says Realtor and local expert resident Charles Holloway with Keller Williams Elite-Peninsula. North of this lush area, Sandy Bottom Nature Park offers even more nature to explore, including Sandy Bottom Lake and miles of hiking trails. Farmington residents live 7 miles from downtown Hampton and 8 miles from the Langley Air Force Base, making the neighborhood a good spot for military families and Hampton commuters. “There’s a lot of military members in Farmington with the air force base nearby. That’s one of the big reasons people move to the area,” says Robyn Slocum, a Realtor with The Slocum Team at Iron Valley Real Estate who has over five years of experience. No matter why residents move here, they stay for the access to nature and retail destinations.
Sandy Bottom Nature Park welcomes explorers
Hikers, dog walkers, fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers unwind at Sandy Bottom Nature Park. Before it was a park, the 456-acre area was a garbage dump that has since been transformed into an outdoor destination. Visitors can learn at the Sandy Bottom Nature Center, meet other pet parents at the dog park or rent a boat to spend the day floating on Sandy Bottom Lake. Those who prefer indoor fun stop by the Northampton Community Center, where seniors attend Lifelong Living events to meet with friends, take a yoga class or learn strategies for coupon shopping. Others spend time exploring the shelves at the Northampton Branch Library.
Shopping and dining down Mercury Boulevard
Residents don’t have to travel far to find grocery stores, retail shops and eateries. They drive less than 3 miles south to Mercury Boulevard. Shoppers looking for daily groceries have their pick of two Food Lions and a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Homeowners in the north half of the neighborhood have a shorter trip with a Food Lion waiting off Big Bethel Road. Game’s Farmers Market is a popular spot for locally sourced produce, and it's open year-round except for Christmas Day. When shoppers need to refuel, they grab lunch at Tommy’s Restaurant, a staple in the community that has been serving home-style meals for over 35 years. Anyone craving gumbo with rice or Vietnamese sandwiches takes a trip to Anthony’s Seafood, which is a dine-out-only restaurant with no flashy signs out front. While these locally owned restaurants stay popular, residents who need a quick bite have plenty of fast-food chains to choose from. “That area is really close to the Hampton Coliseum, Chicken Salad Chick and Monsoon Eclectic Modern Indian,” Slocum says.
Finding '90s ranch, split-level and Colonial Revival homes
Farmington has over 7,000 homes, so the architectural designs vary greatly. Most homes are three-bedroom ranch, split-level, Colonial Revival and Craftsman houses that wrap around cul-de-sacs. Prices range from $140,000 to almost $500,000, with most landing in the $300,000s. Residents have large yards with enough space for a pool or outdoor sitting area, but some streets don’t have sidewalks, giving homeowners even more yard space. “When houses get on the market, they sell very quickly, and when you get a home here, you’re likely to stay,” Holloway says. In addition to the eclectic array of existing homes, the Michaels Woods subdivision is growing, with brand-new Craftsman homes going up in 2024.
Students strive for their futures at Bethel High
Students attend George P. Phenix Elementary, which earns a B-plus from Niche, for prekindergarten through eighth grade. Sixth- through eighth-grade students can try out for the Phenix Band to show off their music skills. Bethel High School earns a B-minus and allows teens to study for future careers with specialty academies, including Governor’s Health Sciences and Law and Public Safety.
Taking I-64 for a trip to Norfolk
Although bus stops sit along Todds Lane and Big Bethel Road, most residents use their cars to get around town. Locals who want to visit Norfolk or downtown Hampton for the day can hop on Interstate 64 or Interstate 664 and be in the area after a roughly 30-minute drive. Although Langley Air Force Base is 8 miles from the neighborhood, Slocum says she never heard any planes while in Farmington for an open house.
Spiritual and physical care in Farmington
Over 14 churches, the Peninsula Islamic Community Center and the Phap Nghiem Temple are open to the over 22,000 Farmington residents. The Sentara CarePlex Hospital, on the other side of Interstate 64, is open for medical emergencies and routine care.
