Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in 1,632 square feet sounds tight on paper, but the 1950 bones of this home mean real rooms with real walls — not an open-floor-plan afterthought. The 0.36-acre lot gives you outdoor breathing room that newer subdivisions rarely offer at this price point, and the South High Street address puts Barrett's Landing Park literally three-tenths of a mile from your front door.
ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market
Franklin is a small independent city in southeastern Virginia, tucked along the Blackwater River where Isle of Wight County and Southampton County meet. It has the kind of downtown where people actually walk — to coffee, to the riverfront, to a local diner — without needing a car. South High Street sits in a quiet residential stretch that connects that walkable core to the city's park system, making it one of the more livable corridors in town. Franklin punches above its size when it comes to community identity: the River Walk, the local restaurant scene, and the tight-knit neighborhood fabric give it a character that larger suburbs often lack. If you've been searching for something different from the cookie-cutter Hampton Roads sprawl — or if a phrase like homes for sale in edenton has been in your recent search history as you explore small Southeastern cities — Franklin deserves a serious look. It's genuine, affordable, and genuinely underrated.
What's nearby
Daily life from 510 S High Street is remarkably convenient. Barrett's Landing Park is a three-minute walk, and the City of Franklin River Walk Park Kayak Launch is just 0.6 miles away — great if you paddle or just want a riverside stroll. Fred's Restaurant and Serve are both 0.4 miles out for quick meals, with Hardee's another option at 0.5 miles. StoreHouse Coffee and The Lighthouse Project both sit within a half-mile for your morning routine. Los Cerezos Latino Store covers specialty grocery needs at 0.7 miles, and TaylorMade Fitness VA keeps your workout routine intact at under a mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Staff J7 Suffolk is roughly 38 minutes from South High Street — a manageable commute that keeps you well outside the congested Norfolk-Virginia Beach corridor. A VA loan can make a five-bedroom home on a third of an acre genuinely accessible, and your BAH stretches meaningfully further in Franklin than in the denser Hampton Roads zip codes closer to base.
For first-time buyers
Five bedrooms and three full baths at a 1950-built address on a 0.36-acre lot represents the kind of space-per-dollar equation that's increasingly rare in Virginia. Franklin's low cost of living, walkable downtown, and genuine community feel make it a smart first step into homeownership — especially if you want room to grow without overextending from day one.
