"The majority of residences in the neighborhood are brick homes that were built in the 1970s,” says Gauthier. Prevalent architectural styles are ranch, colonial and Dutch colonial. Lots are generally neatly landscaped and around 0.25 acres in size, some with in-ground pools in the backyard. A few properties along the Elizabeth River are 1 acre or larger. Recent sales include ones in the $250,000 range for two-bedroom condos or townhouses and some in the upper $500,000 range for a four-bedroom, fully renovated brick ranch-style or colonial.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
