Holland Trace - Unclaimed

Centered on the small river city of Franklin, 23851 blends pine forests, farmland, and the Blackwater River’s cypress-lined banks with a friendly, small-town pace. Summers are warm and humid, winters mild, and the area’s paper-mill heritage shapes a proud, close-knit culture that shows up at Barrett’s Landing concerts and the Franklin–Southampton County Fair. It’s notably family- and pet-friendly, with easygoing evenings and plenty of green space. Daily needs cluster along the Armory Drive shopping corridor (Walmart Supercenter, Food Lion, pharmacies), while downtown’s Main Street offers local cafes and staples like Fred’s Restaurant, plus El Ranchero and Three Guys Italian. Fitness and rec are anchored by the James L. Camp Jr. YMCA, river launches for kayaking and fishing, and nearby Cypress Cove Country Club. US-58 provides quick regional access toward Suffolk and Hampton Roads. According to Zillow Market Trends, 23851’s rental market has stayed relatively affordable over the past few months, with a modest median and typical options ranging from budget apartments to single-family homes.
