Hometown vibe, abundant outdoor recreation
With lakes scattered like freckles between woods and farmland, Chuckatuck is a largely rural neighborhood bordering the Nansemond River with abundant recreation that is still close to essentials in the growing city of Suffolk. “I think what’s drawing people is its proximity to outside of Suffolk and all of the growth that’s coming to Suffolk,” says Jasmine Rae Cotto, a Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway who has been selling homes in the area for nearly six years. “You see that growth everywhere. New businesses are popping up, they’re building a new Publix. And Chuckatuck is a smaller, more out-of-the-way piece of town from the activity but still close enough for people to be able to enjoy the development in Suffolk.” Although it’s within a few minutes’ drive from the excitement of Suffolk, Chuckatuck’s small size and rural appearance give it a warm vibe. “It has a very hometown feel,” Cotto says. “It’s very welcoming because it’s so quaint. It feels very historic as well. The library is adorable – it’s this tiny little house, very old-timey style. It’s a very welcoming town.”
Chuckatuck has easy access to local ammenities and is surrounded by nature.
Chuckatuck has a variety of farmland and is known for its cotton fields.

Affordable homes with room to spread out
Chuckatuck offers plenty of room for those who want to spread out, with plenty of properties on an acre or more of land. Those who want the neighborhood’s peaceful atmosphere without a bunch of land can easily find homes sitting on much less than an acre, though. The neighborhood’s quiet streets often lack sidewalks and are lined with colonial-style homes, Cape Cods, ranch-style homes and an influx of new constructions in contemporary styles. Chuckatuck even has the odd Victorian-style home. Cotto says that Chuckatuck is more affordable than many of the surrounding areas. Single-family homes start at around $300,000 and climb past $500,000 for a large four-bedroom, three-bath home, but the median price is much lower than the max, falling around $385,000. Townhouses cost even less, with a median sale price of $240,000. “The market has definitely picked up with the more affordable pricing and all the activity going on in the big cities around Chuckatuck,” Cotto says. “There’s not much to get your hands on out there because it is such a small town, but what’s out there is selling.” The average home in Chuckatuck sells after just 27 days on the market. “Homeowners should expect equity in the coming years because of everything that is scheduled to come in the surrounding areas,” Cotto says. “Chuckatuck is going to be very desired in the near future.”

Saunders Supply's nearly 100-reign among local businesses
Chuckatuck itself has several locally-owned businesses, including Saunders Supply, which is a hardware store that’s been around for nearly 100 years. Chuckatuck Trading Post deals in vintage fishing and camping gear, and Kelly’s Nursery is a local favorite for its fresh plants and flowers as well as its locally produced pickles and jams. Residents can grab fresh meat at Mike’s Country Meats, but for other shopping, they often head toward Suffolk. There’s a Food Lion and a new Publix about 6 miles from the center of Chuckatuck. When they’re hungry, residents often head into Suffolk for a brisket sandwich at Mason’s Grill & Smokehouse or the all-day breakfast at Huddle House. Cotto says that even more development is in the works in Suffolk around the new Publix. “It’s going to draw people to this side of town and for those who like more of the spaciousness, they’re going to want to come to Chuckatuck,” Cotto says. “All of the development that I know of is within a 10-minute drive from that little town.”
