Mechanicsville | Eastern HanoverProperties for Sale { For Sale | Our Listings } Related Links { Wikipedia | Mechanicsville } { Wikipedia | Hanover County } { Contact a Sales Agent } Hanover County and its real estate market experienced a tremendous amount of growth in the recent past. This growth, and the issues that accompany it, caused Hanover to struggle to balance smart growth while fighting to preserve its rural nature. For the most part, they managed to do it better than most. As you move along the 295 corridor to the east, Western Hanover transitions from more rural to more suburban. Along the Route 1 corridor, there was a tremendous growth of suburban styled subdivisions in what is generally considered to be the Atlee area. Subdivisions such as Milestone, Kings Charter, Ash Creek, Fox Head, Craney Island Farms and Cedar Lea Park are all sought after as they offer tremendous interstate access being close to the intersection of 95 and 295. This proximity makes it a popular choice for people who need to access different parts of the city, or even the state, with regularity. Moving to points further east in Hanover along both Routes 301 and 360 (Mechanicsville Tpke.), density increases in what is considered to be Mechanicsville. Pebble Creek is one of the larger subdivisions that dot the landscape in the eastern section of Hanover. Others include Summerwalk, Sherrington, Bell Creek and Crown Colony. Route 360 serves as the largest collection of shopping and retail areas with many big box retailers, restaurants and car dealerships. Eastern Hanover is also minutes to both the airport and the popular Richmond International Raceway Complex, home to two NASCAR races each year. Overall, Hanover County is a popular and strong housing option for its strong school system, lower tax rate, easy access to many areas of the city and abundance of green spaces. While it sometimes struggles with the preservation of its rural nature, the outlook for Hanover Real estate is strong, not overbuilt, and poised for sustained growth as we move into the post recession market. |
