Northampton County, Virginia
Northampton County is the southern tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, a thin agricultural and aquaculture market strung along US-13 between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic, with Cape Charles and its Bay Creek resort driving most second-home and hospitality activity. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is the only link to Hampton Roads, and wetlands, groundwater limits and sparse public sewer outside the towns constrain where anything of scale can be built.
