Celebrating community and peanuts in Holy Neck
Small farms, large lots and spacious homes fill Holy Neck. Ryan Harrell, a long-time resident and experienced Realtor with The Real Estate Group, says, “It’s a slow-paced community with easy access to amenities downtown.” Residents might go fishing in Lake Meade, kayak on the Nansemond River or dine at popular local restaurants along North Main Street. Locals also get together throughout the year for fun annual events and festivals. Homeowners are leaving busy cities like nearby Chesapeake to get bigger homes and lots for less money in Holy Neck. Here, residents have easy commutes using U.S. Routes 58 and 13. Norfolk and Chesapeake also sit 20 miles away when residents want to take a 30-minute trip to have fun away from home.
Budding communities in a slow-paced Suffolk suburb
Many homes in Holy Neck were built in the 1960s, but future homeowners can easily find units built as recently as 2023. “New developments are popping up north of downtown Suffolk,” says Harrell. “People are also buying large lots to build their own homes.” A renovated three-bedroom bungalow sitting south of downtown might sell for $200,000. Homeowners with a higher budget can find a newly built craftsman home with five bedrooms and a spacious yard for $650,000 or higher. Those who want to live near the water can find Cape Cods along Lake Meade. “The area is growing, and people are moving in to enjoy easy commutes and a quieter environment,” says Harrell.
