VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

1701 N River Road is a five-bedroom, three-bath home in Virginia Beach offering roughly 3,000 square feet of living space built in 1973. With two major military installations within a short drive and the Atlantic coast lifestyle right outside the door, this address checks a lot of boxes.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms is genuinely rare at this square footage, and 1701 N River Road delivers that space in a single-family layout that gives every household member room to breathe. The 1973 build era means solid construction with bones that have stood the test of time, while the River Road corridor puts you on one of Virginia Beach's more scenic stretches — close to the water without being on top of the tourist strip.

FOREST HILLS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

North River Road runs along one of the quieter, more established pockets of Virginia Beach — a city that consistently ranks among the largest in Virginia and draws residents for its mix of coastal access, economic stability, and military community. This part of the 23454 zip code sits inland enough to feel genuinely residential while staying well-connected to the oceanfront, the Chesapeake Bay shores, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. Streets here tend to be lined with mature trees and mid-century homes that have aged gracefully, giving the area a settled, neighborhood feel rather than the transient energy of newer subdivisions. Virginia Beach itself offers something for nearly every lifestyle: state parks, a thriving restaurant scene, farmers markets, and miles of multi-use trails. The River Road address in Virginia Beach puts you within easy reach of all of it without dropping you into the middle of the busiest corridors.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from this address. Grocery options, pharmacies, and everyday retail are clustered along nearby Virginia Beach Boulevard and Shore Drive. First Landing State Park — one of the most visited state parks in Virginia — is just a short drive north, offering kayak launches, hiking trails, and bay-side beaches. The Chesapeake Bay beachfront at Shore Drive is similarly close for an after-work walk or weekend morning. Local dining along Shore Drive and in the Hilltop area gives you everything from casual waterfront spots to sit-down neighborhood restaurants without a long commute.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NAS Oceana is roughly ten minutes away, and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is about twelve — both well within the commute window most military families target. Five bedrooms means space for a home office, a guest room for family visiting during deployment homecomings, or room to grow without relocating again at the next PCS. A VA loan can make this square footage more accessible than you might expect.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown a three- or four-bedroom home, 1701 N River Road answers the call. Five bedrooms across 3,000 square feet means dedicated space for a home office, a playroom, or a proper guest suite — without the chaos of everyone sharing a single common area. The established neighborhood setting also means your kids are growing up on streets with sidewalks, mature shade trees, and a genuine sense of community.
