Why this home stands out
What sets 101 Woodhaven Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage — nearly 2,900 square feet — and a location that keeps both Joint Staff J7 Suffolk and NSA Northwest Annex within a short commute. The Woodlands of Nansemond subdivision carries a cohesive, well-maintained character that larger, more urban neighborhoods in Hampton Roads rarely match. Four bedrooms gives your household real flexibility, whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or room to grow.
WOODLANDS OF NANSEMOND and the Suffolk real estate market
The Woodlands of Nansemond is one of Suffolk's quieter residential pockets — a subdivision where tree-lined streets and consistent architectural styles give the area a settled, intentional feel. Homes here were largely built in the early-to-mid 2000s, so the neighborhood has had time to mature without feeling dated. Streets are calm and walkable, and neighbors tend to stay, which says something about the community itself. Suffolk as a city is worth understanding if you're exploring suffolk homes for sale for the first time. It's Virginia's largest city by land area, which translates into space, lower density, and a pace that feels genuinely different from Virginia Beach or Norfolk. At the same time, Suffolk has been growing steadily, with new retail and dining options filling in along Route 17 and Harbour View. You're not sacrificing convenience for quiet here — you're getting both. The city sits at the western edge of Hampton Roads, giving residents reasonable access to the entire metro without the congestion of living at its center.
What's nearby

Harbour View's retail corridor is just a short drive away, putting grocery stores, pharmacies, and a solid range of restaurants within easy reach.

Sleepy Hole Park offers walking trails, athletic fields, and open green space for outdoor time close to home. The Nansemond River is nearby for anyone drawn to the water, and Bennett's Creek Park provides additional waterfront access. Downtown Suffolk, with its historic Main Street dining and small-business character, is reachable in under 15 minutes.
