1701 N N River Road Rd #Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23454

Why this home stands out

What sets 1701 N River Road apart is the combination of square footage and location that is genuinely hard to replicate in this zip code. Five bedrooms give you room to grow, host, or work from home without compromise. Pair that with a half-mile radius packed with green space, tennis courts, and a country club, and you have a lifestyle address that punches well above its era. The 1973 bones mean character; the Great Neck corridor means convenience.

FOREST HILLS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

The Great Neck area of Virginia Beach is one of those corridors that residents rarely leave — and for good reason. Broad Bay wraps around the eastern edge, giving the whole neighborhood a water-adjacent feel without the waterfront price tag. Streets here are established and tree-lined, with a mix of mid-century ranches and two-story colonials that give the area genuine architectural texture. Neighbors tend to stay for decades, which says something about the quality of daily life. Virginia Beach itself is a city of roughly 460,000 people spread across urban, suburban, and rural landscapes — one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast. The resort strip gets the headlines, but neighborhoods like this one, tucked into the northern reaches of the 23454 zip code, represent the quieter, more residential side of the city that long-timers actually prefer. If you are browsing homes for sale in Virginia Beach, Great Neck is worth putting at the top of your list.

Step outside and you are already close to everything that makes a neighborhood feel livable.

Great Neck Recreation Center (0.4 mi) covers your fitness needs, and Virginia Beach Tennis & Country Club (0.7 mi) adds a racquet-sport option for those who want it. Broad Bay Country Club, only half a mile out, offers dining and social amenities without a long drive. Chelsea/Green Hill Park and Great Neck Park & Indoor Pavilion — both within 0.4 miles — round out a park network that is genuinely impressive for a residential street. Everyday errands and dining along the Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor are equally accessible.
