A few old farms in the area are owned mostly descendants of the founders of the European-American community, which dated from the 18th century. Some date back to the days when George Washington first visited the land and surveyed it.
Cross Junction has rolling farm land which is modestly priced. Of the handful of housing developments. Lake Holiday is the largest. There is no fire or EMS department in Cross Junction. The closest fire departments are those of Gainesboro and Reynolds Store, Virginia, 5–6 miles away. Each of these departments have an ISO rating of 9, so home owners' insurance in this area can be expensive.
