About Wakefield

Wakefield is a quiet Sussex County community along Route 460, situated about halfway between Petersburg and Hampton Roads. The town is famous for the Virginia Diner and its deep peanut farming roots, which give the area a distinct country charm. Living here means enjoying a slower, friendly pace of life, surrounded by open farmland, quiet neighborhood streets, and a tight-knit community.
