New developments in rural areas near Windsor
Within 30 miles of bustling cities like Newport News and Norfolk lies Isle of Wight County, Virginia, a vast semi-rural area of Hampton Roads defined by its farmland and close-knit communities. “Isle of Wight County is a great combination of peaceful country living and town amenities,” says Lee Cross, a native of nearby Suffolk, Virginia, and the managing broker and third-generation co-owner of Cross Realty. “It has a lot of friendly local folks and a real small-town feel.”
Brick ranch-styles to modern farmhouses
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.
