This 0.29 acre homesite at 221 37th Street SW in Hickory offers a versatile canvas for your next build, with a convenient location that balances everyday access and outdoor recreation. The property sits along a street with a mix of site built and manufactured housing in the broader area, but buyers should be aware that the City of Long View no longer permits new mobile homes and this parcel is classified as a nonconforming lot under current standards.

Site and utility conditions, together with any building restrictions or required approvals, should be confirmed by the buyer with the appropriate city and county departments prior to construction.
