1700 River Ct, Virginia Beach, VA 23454

Why this home stands out

Ten thousand square feet on two acres inside Virginia Beach city limits is a combination that almost never comes up. Forest Hills is one of the few neighborhoods where lots of this size exist at all, and 1700 River Court sits on one of the larger ones. Five full bathrooms plus three half-baths means the square footage is matched by the infrastructure — this isn't a big house that runs out of bathrooms. The 2012 build year puts it squarely in modern construction standards without the quirks of an older estate.

FOREST HILLS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Forest Hills is a well-established residential enclave in the Great Neck corridor of Virginia Beach — the kind of neighborhood where large lots, mature trees, and generous setbacks give the streets a quieter, more spacious feel than most of the surrounding city. Homes here tend to be substantial, and the neighborhood has long attracted buyers who want room to breathe without leaving the conveniences of Virginia Beach behind. When you're browsing virginia beach homes for sale and filtering for acreage, Forest Hills keeps coming up for good reason. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast — a place where the oceanfront, the Chesapeake Bay, and miles of inland waterways all coexist with strong infrastructure, a diverse dining scene, and easy access to the broader Hampton Roads region. The Great Neck area specifically sits in the northern part of the city, putting you close to the water, close to recreation, and surprisingly close to two major military installations.
