Gates County, North Carolina
Gates County occupies North Carolina's far northeastern corner along the Virginia line, a wooded, agricultural county with no town larger than the seat, Gatesville, and the crossroads of Sunbury. Demand here is shaped less by local jobs than by proximity to the Hampton Roads metro across the state line, so most activity involves large-lot rural and timber tracts rather than platted subdivisions.
