Cheriton, VA

Set along Virginia's lower Eastern Shore, Cheriton is a small, peaceful community with just a few hundred residents. It offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyday life moves at an easy pace. The area has roots stretching back to the early 1600s and later grew around the railroad boom in the late 1800s, leaving behind charming older homes and quiet neighborhood streets.

Since the primary highway skirts around the center of town, local traffic along Main Street stays light and manageable. Residents enjoy being just a short drive from the beaches, shops, and restaurants of neighboring Cape Charles, while getting to come home to open countryside and scenic historic estates like Eyre Hall. It is a great fit for anyone seeking quiet coastal living with plenty of room to breathe.
