Why this home stands out
New construction in an established Suffolk neighborhood is a rare combination, and 171 Getty Road delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, the home gives you modern systems, fresh finishes, and a layout sized for real life — four bedrooms, a half bath on the main level, and over 2,400 square feet — without the wait of a distant master-planned community. River Highlands keeps things grounded: real streets, mature surroundings, and quick access to everything Suffolk has to offer.
RIVER HIGHLANDS and the Suffolk real estate market
River Highlands sits in the heart of Suffolk, Virginia — a city that tends to surprise people who haven't spent much time here. Suffolk is the largest city by land area in the state, which means you get genuine breathing room alongside a fast-growing network of shops, restaurants, and employers. The River Highlands neighborhood itself has a settled, residential feel — the kind of block where neighbors know each other and front yards actually get used. Homes for sale in Suffolk span a wide range of styles and price points, but River Highlands stands out for its combination of scale, access, and community character. Downtown Suffolk is just a short drive away, and Interstate 664 puts you within reach of Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and the broader Hampton Roads metro without a punishing commute. If you're comparing Suffolk homes for sale, this location checks a lot of boxes before you even step inside.
