Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

1701 N River Road is a five-bedroom, three-bath home in Virginia Beach spanning 3,000 square feet on a lot steps from Broad Bay Estates Park. Built in 1973, it offers generous space, strong military base access, and a recreation-rich neighborhood that's hard to beat.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 1701 N River Road apart is the combination of sheer square footage and an almost embarrassingly convenient location. Five bedrooms give you room to grow, host, or work from home — sometimes all three. You're within half a mile of a country club, two recreation centers, and multiple parks, yet NAS Oceana is a ten-minute drive and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is just twelve. That's a rare trifecta of space, lifestyle, and commute.

FOREST HILLS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

The Great Neck corridor of Virginia Beach is one of those areas where longtime residents quietly congratulate themselves for landing here. Wide, tree-lined streets give way to established homes with real yards, and the pace feels unhurried even though everything you need is close. The neighborhood sits in the northern reaches of Virginia Beach, well away from the oceanfront crowds but still firmly inside the city's best amenities. Broad Bay Country Club anchors the social scene nearby, and the proximity to Broad Bay itself gives the area a subtle waterfront character without the flood-zone anxiety of beachfront living. Virginia Beach homes in this corridor tend to hold their appeal across decades — the bones of the neighborhood are solid, the community is active, and the infrastructure is mature. It's the kind of place where neighbors know each other's names and the streets fill up on weekend mornings with joggers and dog walkers.

What's nearby

Step outside and you're 0.1 miles from Broad Bay Estates Park — close enough for a morning walk before coffee. Great Neck Recreation Center is 0.4 miles away, and Virginia Beach Tennis & Country Club is just 0.7 miles if you prefer a more social fitness scene. Chelsea/Green Hill Park and Great Neck Park & Indoor Pavilion are both within 0.4 miles, giving you green space options in multiple directions. Broad Bay Country Club, a half-mile away, rounds out the neighborhood with dining and recreation under one roof. For anyone browsing homes for sale in Virginia Beach with lifestyle at the top of the checklist, this address checks every box.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NAS Oceana is ten minutes away and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is twelve — two of Hampton Roads' busiest installations within easy reach of a single address. A VA loan pairs naturally with a five-bedroom home this size, and the Great Neck neighborhood has the kind of stability that makes PCS moves feel a little less disruptive. Space for the whole family, parks at the doorstep, and a commute that won't wear you down.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown your current place, 3,000 square feet across five bedrooms gives everyone room to breathe. The neighborhood is loaded with parks and recreation options — Broad Bay Estates Park is literally a block away — and the established, quiet streets make it easy to picture kids riding bikes and neighbors becoming friends. This is the kind of upgrade that doesn't feel like a compromise anywhere.
