Like all parts of the county, the southern portion of Isle of Wight has a wide variety of homes, from 1930s bungalows to 1960s ranch styles to modern farmhouse new-builds set on acres of land. “You’ll find a nice combination of traditional neighborhoods and land if you want a little more elbow room," Cross says. "You’ve got everything from homes on quiet streets tucked away off the beaten path to large farm property.” Home sizes range from around 1,000 to 4,400 square feet, and sale prices span from $180,000 to $750,000.

Parks in nearby Windsor
For some outdoor time, folks can head to Robinson Park in the town of Windsor, where find a shady picnic shelter and a small playground with slides and a swing set. History buffs enjoy spending time at Boykin's Tavern, a charming Colonial property near Route 258 - one of Virginia's oldest roadways - which once provided accommodation to weary travelers and served as a social hub for government officials from the county courthouse next door.Highly rated Isle of Wight County schools
Area children attend Isle of Wight County Public Schools, including Windsor Elementary, rated a B-plus and considered the No. 1 best elementary school in the county by Niche, and B-rated Tyler Middle. After Tyler, students move to Windsor High School, which also earns a B from Niche. “In my experience, people move to Windsor for the schools,” Cross says. “They’re definitely a draw to the area.”

Fireworks, fairs and free concerts
Through the various events that take place in Isle of Wight County during the year it’s apparent that the county's community spirit is alive and well. For instance, Windsor’s annual Christmas parade and free concerts at the town’s Garris Park gazebo always draw a crowd, and at nearby Heritage Park, folks always enjoy the magical Fourth of July fireworks and thrilling carnival rides, festive live music and sweet, fluffy funnel cakes at the annual Isle of Wight County Fair.
Car commutes on Routes 460 and 258
With the junction of two major county roads, Route 460 and Route 258, located in Windsor, other parts of the region, like Suffolk, Newport News or Norfolk, are all accessible and within a 30-mile drive of home. Public transit is limited to Smithfield in the north of the county.Burgers and essentials along Route 460
Much of the dining and retail options in the southern part of the county are located near the town of Windsor. Along Route 460, there are numerous fast-casual chains and locally owned restaurants, including Checkers Family Restaurant, a popular spot for juicy burgers or homestyle dinners like chicken fried steak. “I live in nearby Suffolk, but I’ve been known to go into Windsor for a meal at Checkers,” Cross says. To grab ingredients for dinner at home, there’s a Food Lion grocery store right down the road, and for other weekly essentials, there’s also a convenient Family Dollar.
