Northeast of downtown Suffolk, Virginia, lies an area known to some as Cyprus, which serves as a shining example of Suffolk’s unique blend of rural and suburban living. “Suffolk is a hidden gem that people are beginning to discover,” says Queen Claudine Ellis, CEO of the Dream Girls Real Estate Team, a NextHome Coastal Luxury Realty broker and owner of multiple Suffolk-area properties. “It has a little bit of everything: charm, history, great recreational opportunities, hospitals, restaurants, stores. You can live in the country on land with deer in your backyard or in a subdivision close to amenities. There’s something for everyone, and you can enjoy a great quality of life there.”
Cyprus residents enjoy convenient access to grocery stores, schools and public transit.
Cyprus features spacious homes ideal for growing families seeking comfort and room to grow.

Housing variety in non-flood zone
Folks seeking a new abode in the Cyprus area will find a variety of home types, styles, sizes and price points, from 1950s ranch-style houses and 1970s Dutch Colonials on a half-acre or more to 21st century transitional and Modern Farmhouse-style homes in suburban subdivisions. Sizes range from 1,100 to 4,000 square feet, and list prices can span from $150,000 to just under $1 million. “The home prices are attractive. You can get more bang for your buck there,” Ellis says. “Plus, it's not in a flood zone, so you’re not required to get flood insurance. That’s an important thing to know in the Hampton Roads area.”
Homes in Cyprus sit on well-maintained lots with pride of ownership throughout the community.

Hiking, fishing and kayaking in Cyprus
Suffolk offers plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors, including a hike through the Great Dismal Swamp along the scenic, 9-mile Washington Ditch Trail or fishing on Bennett’s Creek. Also, an afternoon at 67-acre Lake Meade Park, with its playgrounds, skate park, tennis court and dog park, is time well spent. There’s also Sleepy Hole Park, 73 acres of green space along the Nansemond River, where visitors can kayak, fish, enjoy the playground, play volleyball or show off their skills at the horseshoe pit. For those who prefer a hole-in-one on the fairways to a ringer in the pit, the public, 18-hole Sleepy Hole Golf Course is next to the park. The golf course grounds share stunning Nansemond River views with Obici House, the historic former home of Planters Peanuts founder Amedeo Obici, which is now a popular wedding and event venue.

Close to dining in Suffolk's historic downtown
Cyprus-area residents don’t have to travel far — only about 3 miles — to grab a bite to eat at one of the popular restaurants in Suffolk’s historic downtown. They can find a juicy burger and loaded waffle fries at The General Public, or go to Holland’s Country Gourmet for a hearty pancake breakfast or catfish dinner. Downtown also boasts several locally-owned shops, like The French Corner, which features unique furniture and home décor. For everyday essentials, grocery and big-box stores, including Kroger and Walmart Supercenter, are less than 2 miles from downtown.

Celebrating heritage with Suffolk Peanut Festival
Though Ellis can attest that the Cyprus area — and Suffolk in general — is, as she puts it, “about more than peanuts,” the city has honored its legume-growing heritage for the past 45 years with the Suffolk Peanut Festival. The four-day event, which draws over 125,000 people each October, features concerts, amusement park rides, a parade and more.
The Suffolk Peanut Festival reflects the region's connection to Virginia’s peanut industry.
Planters Peanut Company began mass production in Holy Neck, near Cyprus, over a century ago.

U.S. 460 connection and Suffolk transit
“Some people think Suffolk is far from other parts of Hampton Roads, but it’s really not,” Ellis says. With U.S. Route 460 running through the city, commuters have easy access to major highways like interstates 664, 264 and 64, which they can use to travel the roughly 20-mile journey to Chesapeake or Norfolk and about 30 miles to Newport News or Virginia Beach. For transportation within Suffolk, the city offers bus transit, with the Magnolia park and ride stop conveniently located in the Cyprus area on Portsmouth Boulevard.
