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.
