Mathews County, Virginia
Mathews County is a small Chesapeake Bay peninsula market with no incorporated towns, where waterfront residential, retirement buyers and a working boat and seafood economy set the tone and Route 14 and Route 198 are the only real corridors. Development is tightly constrained by tidal flooding and sea level rise, Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act buffers, and near total reliance on well and septic.
