Suffolk suburb just south of the James River
Just south of the James River in Suffolk, Virginia, sits Nansemond, a suburban area of quiet, leafy subdivisions minutes from bustling shopping centers and the Hampton Roads Beltway. “It’s one of the most centrally-located parts of Hampton Roads. A fantastic Suffolk location,” says Lee Cross, a Suffolk native and the managing broker and third-generation co-owner of Cross Realty. “It’s a really easy commute not only to jobs in Suffolk but anywhere in Hampton Roads. It’s also close to a lot of amenities. There are a ton of shopping, restaurant and entertainment options nearby.”
Single-family and townhouse options
The Nansemond area offers home seekers a variety of housing options, from 1960s brick ranch-style and 1990s modern traditional single-family homes to newly constructed tri-level townhouses. Home sizes range from around 1,200 to 3,000 square feet with three or four bedrooms, and list prices fall between $240,000 and $465,000. “The homes are very much in demand there,” Cross says. “It’s still a seller’s market, but that area also has a lower price point than other parts of north Suffolk. It’s an opportunity for people to be in north Suffolk for less.”

Annual Peanut Festival fun
Once the home of Planters Peanuts founder Amedeo Obici and the hub of Virginia’s peanut industry, it’s not surprising that Suffolk pays homage to the much-loved legume with its annual Peanut Festival. During the four days of festivities, Suffolk residents and folks from all over the region celebrate the area’s peanut heritage with fireworks, carnival rides, live music, a parade, the Peanut Cup Autocross race and more.
Nearby highways and transit stops

Those commuting around Suffolk can hop on a Hampton Roads Transit bus at one of the numerous stops along Harbour View Boulevard and College Drive.
