East Washington Street has quick commutes and simple homes

Homes here are cheaper than those in nearby Norfolk, and residents often live in units with three bedrooms, compact lawns and uncovered parking less than a mile from downtown shopping and dining. Kids have fun at the nearby parks, but residents of all ages drive throughout Suffolk to attend the different annual festivals.

Ranch-style homes and bungalows in a rising Suffolk community
The East Washington Street neighborhood features ranch-style and shotgun homes from the 1970s. Most have three bedrooms and covered front porches. Those who want a newer unit can find simple craftsman homes built as recently as 2023. “There’s a mix of homeowners and renters in the area,” says Ryan Harrell, a local and experienced Realtor at The Real Estate Group. “Some infill lots are available, but most new developments are being built north of downtown Suffolk.” A few homes have attached garages, but most homeowners park on uncovered driveways or in the street. Home prices here can range from $100,000 to $300,000. A railroad runs through the middle of the neighborhood, so it can be noisy from time to time when a train runs by.
