Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

At 2,490 square feet, this 1979-built home gives you more room than most three-bedroom properties in Emporia. The layout stretches across a generous footprint that is hard to find at this size in the 23847 zip code. Walnut Drive is a low-traffic street, yet Food Lion, Dunkin', and Starbucks are all under a mile away. That combination of space and convenience is the real story here.

About the Emporia real estate market

Walnut Drive sits in a calm, established part of Emporia where the streets are lined with mature trees and single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s. The housing stock here runs toward spacious ranch and split-level styles on generous lots. Neighbors tend to know each other, and the pace is unhurried. Emporia is the county seat of Greensville County, sitting right along the I-95 corridor in southern Virginia. That interstate access makes the city a practical base for anyone who travels or commutes. Downtown Emporia is compact and easy to navigate. Local shops, a post office, and city services are all within a short drive. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Emporia Virginia will notice that Walnut Drive properties offer more interior square footage than many listings closer to the commercial strip. The city has a small-town feel with solid infrastructure, and the surrounding countryside opens up quickly once you leave the neighborhood.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from 1513 Walnut Drive. Food Lion, Spivey's, and a BP station are all within 0.9 miles for groceries and quick stops. When you want to eat out, El Ranchero IV and Bojangles are both about 0.4 miles away. Coffee is covered too — Dunkin' and McDonald's sit at 0.9 miles, and Starbucks is just one mile out. The Holiday Inn Express and Suites Emporia by IHG, about 0.5 miles away, has a fitness facility that is accessible to the public.

For different buyers

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and 2,490 square feet give you real breathing room under one roof. A home this size means dedicated space for sleeping, working, and living without anyone crowding anyone else. The lot on Walnut Drive also provides outdoor space that is hard to come by in tighter subdivisions. Anyone comparing Emporia Virginia homes for sale with this much interior square footage will find the options are limited.

For first-time buyers

A 1979-built home at 2,490 square feet in the 23847 zip code is a substantial entry point into homeownership. Emporia has lower property costs than many Virginia markets, which means your dollar goes further here. Three bedrooms and two baths give you flexibility from day one. The neighborhood is quiet, the commuter access via I-95 is real, and everyday conveniences are under a mile away.
