Why this home stands out
What sets 36044 Shingleton Road apart is the combination of a 2002 build — solid construction without the maintenance surprises of older rural homes — and a Sussex County address that trades suburban density for genuine breathing room. You get a manageable footprint at 1,620 square feet, three bedrooms, and two full baths, all in a package that keeps life simple while keeping the wider region within reach.
ALL OTHERS VA AREA 51 and the Waverly real estate market
Waverly, Virginia sits in Sussex County, a stretch of Southside Virginia where the pace slows down and the landscape opens up. The town itself is small and self-contained, with a Main Street character that feels genuinely local rather than manufactured. Shingleton Road runs through a rural corridor where properties have space between them and the tree lines are real. Sussex County is an independent jurisdiction with its own local government and services, and Waverly functions as its commercial and civic center. For those comparing Waverly to more urban Hampton Roads addresses, the trade is clear: you give up density and get quiet, land, and a community where neighbors tend to know each other. The region around Waverly connects to Petersburg, Richmond, and the Hampton Roads metro via US-460, making it a practical base for people whose work or family pulls them in multiple directions.
