510 S High St, Franklin, VA 23851

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in a 1950s home is a genuinely rare find, and 510 S High Street delivers that space on a 0.36-acre lot with room to breathe inside and out. Three full baths mean mornings run smoothly no matter how many people are getting ready. The lot gives you real outdoor space — garden, entertain, or simply spread out — without leaving the city limits of Franklin.

ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market

Franklin, Virginia sits in Southampton County in the southwestern corner of Hampton Roads, straddling the Blackwater River with a character that's equal parts small-town warmth and practical convenience. S High Street runs through one of Franklin's established residential corridors, where mid-century homes sit on spacious lots shaded by mature trees. The pace here is unhurried, neighbors tend to know each other, and the city's compact downtown is just minutes away. Franklin is the kind of place where you can walk to a local diner, catch a community event at the riverfront, and still be on a major highway within minutes. For buyers coming from larger Hampton Roads cities, the trade-off is real: more land, more quiet, and a cost of living that goes noticeably further — all while staying connected to the broader region.
