Why this home stands out
Eagle Harbor is one of Isle of Wight County's most established planned communities, and 2802 James River Trail sits right in the heart of it. The home's 2007 construction means you get modern systems and an open-concept era floor plan on a low-maintenance lot — just 0.04 acres — so weekends belong to you, not your yard. Two full baths for two bedrooms is a practical luxury that makes the layout work for a wide range of households.
EAGLE HARBOR and the Carrollton real estate market
Carrollton occupies a quiet corner of Isle of Wight County on the Virginia Peninsula, separated from the bustle of Suffolk and Hampton by the James River and Chuckahoochee Creek corridors. Eagle Harbor is the community that put Carrollton on the map for buyers who want suburban calm without sacrificing access — the neighborhood features walking trails, a community pool, tennis courts, and a clubhouse that give it a resort-like feel year-round. Route 17 connects you north toward Newport News and south toward Smithfield in minutes, making the commute math easy no matter which direction your day pulls you. While some buyers searching terms like whaleyville va end up exploring this whole region of Hampton Roads, Carrollton consistently stands out for its combination of Isle of Wight County's lower tax rate, newer housing stock, and a genuine sense of community. James River Trail itself is a tree-lined interior street — the kind where neighbors wave and kids ride bikes — which adds an extra layer of livability to an already well-planned address.
