Suburban setting centered around the Fort Gregg-Adams military base

Though the military base was first established at the onset of World War I, the land surrounding Fort Gregg-Adams has a history dating back long before. Situated at the heart of Virginia’s Tri-Cities of Petersburg, Colonial Heights and Hopewell, this area has seen everything from early English colonists to Civil War battles. Today, the base serves as the headquarters for multiple US Army support branches, and with a population of nearly 15,000, nearby businesses have sprung up to support residents. But even outside of those affiliated with the military, the combination of central location, rich history and proximity to nature on the Appomattox River continues to draw homebuyers of all kinds to Fort Gregg-Adams.

From modest ranches to riverside living

Most people living around Fort Gregg-Adams rent their homes, primarily due to the high number of people employed by the military in the area. However, plenty of permanent residents do own their houses. This neighborhood is made up entirely of single-family homes with a median list price of $225,000, though houses vary widely. Some subdivisions have modest ramblers on narrow streets and wooded yards located behind bustling shopping centers, while others offer sprawling lots along rural roads with extra square footage and more room to spread out. A two-bedroom fixer-upper near the Interstate might cost as little as $80,000, whereas a three-bedroom home with views of the Appomattox can sell for $583,000.

Canoe down the Appomattox River or tour the Petersburg National Battlefield

With the Appomattox River bordering the neighborhood to the north, residents have plenty of ways to get outside. At Appomattox River Regional Park, locals can bring their fishing poles and canoes for a day on the water. For those who’d rather stay dry, there are also 3 miles of hiking trails that still feature stunning views of the waters and plenty of wildlife to spot for keen-eyed birders. Folks who like their outdoor time with a side of history will want to visit Petersburg National Battlefield, a Civil War battleground site that marks the Siege of Petersburg. Take a self-guided tour past the artillery and trenches to retrace the steps of soldiers who fought there more than 150 years before. Parkgoers might even feel transported back in time by the sound of approaching hooves, as the wooded trails are a popular spot for horseback riding.

Petersburg National Battlefield is a fascinating and important Civil War site near Fort Lee.
