Old North Hampton
Small bungalows and Capes starting at $200,000
Once known as a garden community where residents had backyard gardens filled with fresh produce and fruit trees to share with neighbors, this charming community has seen many changes. Most homes were built in the early to mid-20th century featuring a mix of colonial, Cape Cod and Craftsman styles. A drive through the neighborhood will show you apartments, sprawling ranch houses and quaint bungalows. Some homes are backed near the Hampton River, providing waterfront views, while others sit on large tree-lined lots and yards dotted with shrubs amplifying the natural ambiance. You’ll also find traditional-style homes with front porches and houses that have been well-maintained over the years or renovated. Price ranges for residences range from $200,000 to $400,000.Specialized academies at Kecoughtan High School

Patrick Elementary School, which has a B. C. Alton Lindsay Middle School has a B-minus. Rising ninth graders attending Kecoughtan High, which has a B-plus, can apply to one of its four academies, including the Governor’s STEM Academy, the Performing Arts Academy, and The Academy of Entrepreneurship and Information Design.Essentials and restaurants along East Mercury Boulevard
There is a Food Lion in the neighborhood for groceries, or you can head to Graham & Rollins Hampton Seafood Market for fresh, local catches like clams and crabs. For some grub, stop by Red Crab Juicy Seafood and customize your seafood boil. It was voted the best seafood restaurant in the city by Restaurant Guru for its authentic Cajun-style delicacies. Since 1975, Fertitta’s Diner has been the spot for handheld classics like handcrafted burgers and hot dogs. County Grill & Smokehouse is family-owned and the perfect place for some slow-smoked aged beef brisket. End your evening with a strawberry lemonade cocktail at The Vanguard Brewpub & Distillery with outdoor seating.After-school activities at YH Community Center
For some leisurely relaxation, head to the Peninsula Golf Center, a locally owned and operated facility where locals come for their low prices, golf lessons and to practice their hook. The YH Thomas Community Center is in the neighborhood and aims to be a nurturing and safe environment for residents. You’ll see kids coming after-school and participating in basketball training or running around on the playground. The center features an Elevate Out of School Program, including field trips and tutoring. The center also hosts an annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner for the community. The Hampton Family YMCA is also a great place to sign up for a fitness class or dip in the pool on hot days.Museums and festivals 2 miles away in Hampton's downtown
