Fairfield's desirable location
Nestled in the Kempsville region of Virginia Beach, Fairfield is bordered by the Elizabeth River and has an "excellent location,” says Broker Robin Gauthier with NextHome Tidewater Realty, who has sold homes in the area for 17 years. “It’s a very sought-after neighborhood because you can walk around to shops, and it also has great access to the interstate. You can get anywhere in the Hampton Roads area in about 15 to 20 minutes.” Fairfield streets meander around corners, past oak-and-birch-shaded driveways, ending in cul-de-sacs. Crepe myrtle trees adorn green lawns, and boxwood and azalea bushes trim houses.
Fairfield lawns offer room to grow
"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.
