Northumberland County, Virginia
Northumberland County sits at the end of the Northern Neck where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake Bay, a waterfront retirement and second-home market with a commercial fishing and seafood base centered on Reedville. There is no interstate and no large employer, so demand runs on Route 360 and shoreline access, and septic capacity, Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act buffers and shoreline erosion set the limits on new lots.
