12547 Smiths Neck Rd, Carrollton, VA 23314

Why this home stands out

Built in 2022, 12547 Smiths Neck Road brings together a generous 0.82-acre lot and a five-bedroom, four-bath floor plan that's rare in this price tier of Isle of Wight County. The combination of newer construction — meaning modern mechanicals, current energy codes, and fresh finishes — with nearly an acre of elbow room is genuinely hard to find this close to the Hampton Roads metro.

ALL OTHERS AREA 65 and the Carrollton real estate market

Carrollton sits in Isle of Wight County on the western shore of the James River, just across the James River Bridge from Newport News. It occupies a sweet spot that many Hampton Roads households actively seek: low county tax rates, no city income tax, and a noticeably quieter residential character compared to the denser urban cores across the water. The area designated as All Others Area 65 is a spread-out, largely residential corridor where lots tend to run large and neighbors aren't stacked on top of one another. Smiths Neck Road itself has that unhurried, semi-rural feel — mature surroundings, room to breathe — while Route 17 and the James River Bridge keep you genuinely connected. Carrollton Virginia real estate attracts buyers who want the benefits of Hampton Roads employment and military proximity without the congestion of Virginia Beach or Norfolk. Isle of Wight County has consistently ranked among the region's more desirable jurisdictions for quality of life, and the growth along the Route 17 corridor reflects that.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are easier than the address might suggest. A Food Lion is less than a mile away on Route 17, handling the weekly grocery run without a long drive. When you'd rather let someone else cook, A1 Seafood & Pho and Si Señor 2 Mexican Restaurant are both within a mile — solid options for a weeknight dinner or a quick lunch. A Subway rounds out the immediate lineup for grab-and-go meals. The James River Bridge puts Newport News shopping, dining, and services within about fifteen minutes, and Suffolk is similarly accessible heading west.
