    "Nice wooded location in cul de sac with low traffic/ quiet friendly neighborhood: Smithfield is a quaint town offering the small historical town feel with easy access to bigger cities- Williamsburg, Newport News, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, etc. as well as easy access to many beaches."

    "I have had the pleasure of living and working in beautiful Smithfield, Virginia. As part of a proud military family, we wanted to be within driving distance of the bases, but far enough away to really enjoy our family time. Smithfield is an amazing community, really charming and welcoming. I've lived here since 2006 and I would be more than happy to call this area my forever home."
