BLENDING OLD AND NEW IN
HISTORIC DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD

Hampton Redevelopment and Housing Authority is in the midst of a downtown neighborhood revitalization. For the past few years, HRHA has worked with the City of Hampton to acquire vacant lots and substandard structures in Olde Hampton and Pasture Point. We recently began construction of five new homes and two of these homes are in the final stages of completion.

The architecture of the new homes is designed to blend with the historical significance of the existing homes and are located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Hampton. The new homes represent the largest influx of residential construction to come to this up and coming neighborhood for years. The sale of the new homes is another step toward the revitalization of two Downtown neighborhoods targeted by HRHA and the Hampton Housing Venture.

Each home has over 1,500 SF of living space and at least three bedrooms and two baths. The first phase of homes will offer a homeownership opportunity for a low to moderate income homebuyer. The home’s were appraised and priced in the mid $170’s and can be made substantially lower through incentives and programs assisting qualified homebuyers with down payment, closing costs and mortgage rate reductions.

The next phase of development will be a mixture of affordable housing and market rate housing in Olde Hampton. This will include construction of additional single family homes in late Spring. We will also begin renovation of two existing homes on Union Street. One of these homes has been toured by staff from the State Historic Preservation Office to give insight on historical features that should be preserved.

This important work is interesting to anyone who is looking for an affordable home, are a family building a dream, or just interested in seeing well designed, beautifully constructed homes. No matter what your interest, please take time to drive through Olde Hampton to see how HRHA opens doors to new opportunities in Downtown Hampton.
