[Hampton Roads Housing/Real estate/and Economy]

Man your family hit if off well.  Farmington is one of the premier residences on the peninsula outside of Williamsburg.  A couple new sections opened up back their and houses back their range from 250,000 - 500,000.  It is also a secluded neigborhood so very little crime.  There is only one way in and one way out.  There are other neighborhoods in hampton that are even more ritzy but this is definately one of my favorites.  I use to ride my motor bike back through there when someof the first homes went up.  All of that track is gone now and nice new homes sit there.  You won't find too many first time home buyers in these neighborhoods.  Although, you can tell the difference in the homes built in the first section and homes being built now.

Urbanfan,

Thanks so much for the info.......Yeah I noticed that too about one way in and one way out. I think that community is absolutely beautiful, I mean the lawns and everything is so well kept. Yeah, my aunt likes to have nice things...so I know that neighborhood fits her, plus they are older people.

Honestly I don't know that neighborhood but it sounds like its close to Newport News and thats where alot crime takes place. This place is a little odd. You can go anywhere around this metro area and run into a bad spot. I'll look on mapquest and tell you what kind of neighborhood it is. Hampton overall has some of the less crime in the area. It has single digit murders and such so they should be ok. Vabeach has a better style of life but it is a king of suburbia.

Russ,

I saw in another thread that you work in Hampton...So I guess I answered my on question. The reason I was asking is because I had some family that was moving down south from NY, and they were deciding between VA & SC. Well they chose VA, and settled into Hampton. They moved into a section of Hampton called Farmington(off of Todds Ln & Farmington Blvd). Now being from NYC(Bronx) you only see neighborhoods like that in Riverdale(wealthy sec. of the BX) Westchester Co., Rockland Co, and most of L.I. My question to you... is Farmington considered a good neighborhood in the Hampton Roads Area? I mean with all the new developments and all, do neighborhoods like this lose their appeal to the transplants & younger people looking to purchase a home or their very first home. IMHO, I would move to Farmington @ the drop of a dime. It seems like a nice place to raise a family...
