Why this home stands out
Brand-new construction in 2024 means you're getting current building codes, modern energy standards, and finishes that haven't seen a decade of wear. Five bedrooms and four full baths across 2,560 square feet gives everyone room to spread out — whether that's a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or simply space to breathe. In a region where older inventory dominates, that combination is genuinely hard to find at this scale.
BENNETTS PASTURE and the Suffolk real estate market
Suffolk is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and that geography shapes daily life in a real way — you get a suburban pace with genuine breathing room, without feeling cut off from the broader Hampton Roads metro. The area around 1124 Erin Drive sits in the northern reaches of Suffolk, close to the Nansemond River corridor and within easy reach of the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River. Neighborhoods here tend to be newer, with wider lots and a quieter residential character compared to the denser urban core closer to downtown Norfolk or Chesapeake. Commuters heading toward Portsmouth or Norfolk find the drive manageable, and the local road network connects you to I-664 without much friction. Suffolk itself has been growing steadily, which means infrastructure, dining, and services have followed. It's a city that rewards buyers who want new construction square footage and a lower-density lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. The Factory, a local restaurant, is just 0.6 miles away — close enough to make a weeknight dinner out genuinely effortless. If staying active is part of your routine, Driver Trail gym is 0.7 miles from the front door. Sleepy Hole Park, a well-regarded green space along the Nansemond River, sits less than a mile away and offers trails, picnic areas, and waterfront access that's hard to put a price on. Grocery runs and everyday errands are handled by the retail corridor nearby, keeping the practical side of life low-friction.

Sleepy Hole Park is under a mile away for weekend mornings, and The Factory nearby makes the occasional family dinner out a five-minute decision rather than a production.
