Why this home stands out

Scale and seclusion together are rare in Virginia Beach — 1700 River Court offers both. The 2.06-acre lot on a quiet court address creates genuine breathing room, while the 10,220 square feet of interior space means every member of the household gets their own corner of the house. Five full baths and three half baths across five bedrooms signals a home designed for real life at full volume, not just impressive square footage on paper.

FOREST HILLS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Forest Hills sits in the heart of Virginia Beach's Great Neck corridor — one of the city's most established residential pockets, where mature tree canopies line the streets and the lots run generously large. The neighborhood carries a quiet, unhurried character that's genuinely hard to find this close to the oceanfront, the Chesapeake Bay, and two major military installations. Residents here tend to put down roots; turnover is low and the streets feel like a real community rather than a revolving door. Virginia Beach itself wraps around you with everything a household needs — waterfront parks, independent restaurants, major retail, and a medical corridor — without the density that makes some coastal cities feel cramped. If you're comparing homes for sale in Virginia Beach, the Great Neck area consistently stands out for lot size, privacy, and long-term livability. The 23454 zip code in particular draws buyers who want space without sacrificing access.

What's nearby

Daily life runs smoothly from River Court. Great Neck Recreation Center is just 0.8 miles away — a full-service facility that makes staying active genuinely convenient. Great Neck Park & Indoor Pavilion is 0.6 miles out and gives younger household members a dedicated outdoor space close to home. Broad Bay Estates Park is under a mile away for longer walks and open-air time. Si2healthcare is 0.6 miles away for dining close to home. NAS Oceana is a nine-minute drive, and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is reachable in eleven — short commutes that matter when you're weighing homes for sale in 23454 against your daily schedule.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NAS Oceana sits nine minutes from the front door, and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is eleven. For a military household, that kind of proximity to two major installations — on a 2.06-acre lot with five bedrooms and room for everyone — is genuinely uncommon. A VA loan can make a home at this scale more accessible than many buyers expect; the math is worth running.

For families upgrading

Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Cox High School and homes for sale zoned for John B. Dey Elementary School will find 1700 River Court sitting squarely in that zone — and the home itself matches the ambition of the address. Five bedrooms, five full baths, 10,220 square feet, and a 2.06-acre lot give a growing or multigenerational household the kind of room that eliminates compromise.

More buyer questions

How far is 1700 River Court from NAS Oceana?

NAS Oceana is approximately nine minutes from 1700 River Court by car, making it one of the shorter base commutes available in this part of Virginia Beach.

How far is 1700 River Court from JEB Little Creek-Fort Story?

JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is about eleven minutes away — close enough that a dual-military household assigned to both installations would find the location genuinely workable.

What is the lot size at 1700 River Court?

The lot measures 2.06 acres, which is notably large for an in-city Virginia Beach address and gives the property a level of privacy and outdoor space that's uncommon in the Great Neck corridor.

Flood zone status for this address is detailed in the FloodRisk tile on this page, which pulls current FEMA map data — check there for the most accurate and up-to-date designation.
