Northern Neck.

Virginia's tidewater peninsula: deep-water creeks, working villages and waterfront acreage.

About6 counties

Welcome toNorthern Neck.

Water defines this market. Northumberland alone has roughly 509 miles of shoreline along the Bay, the Potomac and their tributaries, and Lancaster faces the Rappahannock. Both skew markedly older than the state — the median resident in Lancaster is 59, and in each county nearly two in five people are 65 or over. Kilmarnock, the commercial hub, straddles the line between them.

South of the rivers, Gloucester anchors the market at the York's mouth and hosts the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, while Mathews keeps a shipbuilding tradition three centuries deep. Inland, Richmond County and Westmoreland stay in farming, fishing and forestry — Westmoreland on a roughly $57 million agricultural market, with George Washington's birthplace and Stratford Hall drawing what tourism the peninsula gets.

Thinking of selling

What is your Northern Neck homeactually worth?

Mike Hogan founded the brokerage on knowing the county rather than the listing. Ask what that means for your street — or take a cash offer from a local investor and skip the showings entirely. Neither route commits you to the other.
