About Suffolk City County, VA

In Suffolk recently about 20 people fanned out to count the homeless. It was part of an annual survey to count homeless people. Only two were found this year. I doubt if that is an accurate count but it is one that you have to go with. The city although small population wise is quite large geographically.

If you are into golf, then this is the place to be.

Home buyers looking for custom-built, spacious, upscale homes in a rural setting should be sure to check out Hillpoint Farms in Suffolk.

The community is located adjacent to Nansemond River Golf Club, and has been wonderfully built out by the developer. The site also is close to the Nansemond River, which can be seen from some of the home's upper floors.

Hillpoint Farms will consist of the neighborhoods of Hillpoint Greens, Lake's Edge, Hillpoint Meadows, Fairways Crossing, The Vistas, and Hillpoint Woods Apartments. These homes lining Hillpoint Boulevard make up the collection of sprawling housing developments that was once the site of the Rountree Dairy Farm.

The homes will range in size from 1,200 for the condos to more than 4,000 square feet and will have anywhere from two to six bedrooms. Prices range from $245,900 to well over $600,000.

Lake's Edge, the oldest of the neighborhoods, was established in the mid-1990s. Several of the other neighborhoods are almost finished, and real estate agents say homeowners praise the peaceful setting.

Hillpoint Farms is being developed by Ramsgate Corporation of Virginia Beach, which hosted the 1999 Homearama at Carriage House Estates in Chesapeake.

The vice president of Ramsgate, George Kemp, said the company chose the spot because of its quiet atmosphere and beauty. It also carries some historical significance, having served as a Civil War battleground, Kemp said.

"It's a very soothing atmosphere out there," he said. "I think it's an appealing place for families who want to raise their children in a quiet neighborhood."

The area is desireable because of the new Obici Hospital, a new elementary school, new middle school and high school, and some new retail shops. The area will always be somewhat rural by city design, Kemp said. The city is only allowing about 1,300 homes to be built in the entire Hillpoint area.

There will be a homeowners' association to which homeowners will pay a nominal membership fee each month.

It's close to everything that buyers need to be close to is like being in the country without really being in the country.

No job application? Wow that's pretty good but considering that Selena Cuffee-Glen has been with the city since 2005, maybe none was needed. She won Vice Mayor Curtis Milteer over on a trip to New York. City officials were trying to get the nations top three bond rating agencies to improve the cities outlook financially. Cuffee-Glenn played an important role and two of the three agencies responded by withdrawing their "negative outlook". Most everybody thought of her when Jim Johnson, the current city manager, announced his retirement. There was talk of looking outside but sometimes it pays to promote from within.

Justin Nelson and his wife want to move but so far he can't. It seems he received his property from his father by way of a family transfer. Suffolk is the only local city that allows local transfers and one of the stipulations is that you can't sell the property for ten years. Mr. Nelson received a job transfer to Roanoke and is asking the city council to approve the sale of his home in Suffolk. It should be interesting to see how it comes out.

Two schools scheduled to merge have been spared. Suffolk has been grappling for a long time whether to merge Southwestern Elementary and Robertson Elementary but have finally decided to let the two schools stand. The class sizes are small, both are fully accredited and the parents don't want the village feel of the schools to go away. There would have been a great savings every year by having one school but the parents have won out. Southwestern will get a $21. 9 millon renovation and Robertson will get a facelift and expansion expected to cost $10.8 million.
