Why this home stands out
Built in 1975, 105 Obrey Drive carries the solid construction and generous room proportions that defined that era of homebuilding. At 2,030 square feet, the layout gives you real breathing room across three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The lot sits in a low-traffic residential pocket of Isle of Wight County, where the pace is noticeably slower than the urban core across the river. That combination — space, quiet, and easy access to Hampton Roads — is genuinely rare.
BREWERS CREEK and the Carrollton real estate market
Carrollton is a small, unincorporated community in Isle of Wight County, tucked between the James River and Route 17. The streets here are lined with single-family homes on generous lots, many of them dating to the 1970s and 1980s. There's a settled, unhurried feel to the neighborhood — wide yards, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay a while. Obrey Drive itself is a low-traffic residential street, the kind that stays quiet on weekday mornings. Isle of Wight County governs the area, which means a smaller-town administrative experience compared to the larger Hampton Roads cities. Getting around is straightforward: Route 17 connects you north toward the James River Bridge and into Newport News in about 20 minutes. Suffolk and Smithfield are both reachable in under 30 minutes in the opposite direction. The James River Bridge is the main artery linking Carrollton to the Peninsula, and traffic there is manageable outside of peak hours. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Smithfield High School and homes for sale zoned for Carrollton Elementary School will find that 105 Obrey Drive falls within both attendance zones.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy to handle without leaving the immediate area. Jeb's Market is just 0.8 miles away — a quick trip for groceries, snacks, or last-minute items. Route 17 opens up a wider range of shopping, dining, and services within a short drive north or south. Smithfield is about 15 minutes west and worth the trip for its independent restaurants and small-town main street. Newport News, just across the James River Bridge, adds big-box retail, medical facilities, and a full range of dining options to your regular rotation.
