Why this home stands out
Carrollton Meadows sits in one of Hampton Roads' quieter suburban pockets, and Spring Crest Drive reflects that — a 2002-built colonial with room to spread out across nearly 2,900 square feet, four true bedrooms, and a half-bath downstairs that keeps daily life flowing. Isle of Wight County's lower tax rate and no city income tax are real advantages that come with this address, and the neighborhood's established tree canopy gives the street a settled, unhurried feel that newer developments simply haven't earned yet.
CARROLLTON MEADOWS and the Carrollton real estate market
Carrollton is the kind of place people discover and quietly decide to stay. Tucked into Isle of Wight County on the western shore of the James River, it offers a suburban pace without the suburban sprawl — neighborhoods like Carrollton Meadows are well-established, with mature landscaping and streets that feel genuinely residential rather than freshly stamped out of a cornfield. The area sits just off Route 17, which connects you north toward Newport News and the broader Hampton Roads metro in under 30 minutes on most days. That corridor makes Carrollton homes for sale attractive to buyers who want space and quiet without giving up access to the region's employment centers, waterfronts, and amenities. Isle of Wight County governs this address, which means a different tax structure than the independent cities across the bridge — something worth understanding as you compare options across the region. The community here tends to be family-oriented and owner-occupied, and the neighborhood's age (most homes date from the late 1990s through mid-2000s) means the streets, sidewalks, and green spaces have all had time to mature.

Crush It Art Bar, just 0.4 miles out, adds a fun social option that's a little out of the ordinary. Royal Farms at 0.9 miles handles your morning coffee and fuel in one stop. You're not giving up convenience to live here.

Four bedrooms and 2,888 square feet give a growing family real breathing room — dedicated spaces for kids, guests, a home office, or all three.
