Suburban Neighborhood in Suffolk, Virginia

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.”
