Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Built in 2020, this residence brings contemporary design and efficient systems to a well-established Suffolk location. The four-bedroom, three-bath layout spans 2,925 square feet, offering genuine room to spread out. You'll find the home positioned for quick commutes to the medical center and NSA Hampton Roads, plus everyday conveniences within walking distance. The neighborhood sits close enough to Bennett's Creek Park for weekend recreation, yet far enough from major highways to feel peaceful.

THE RETREAT AT BENNETTS CREEK and the Suffolk real estate market

This address sits in Suffolk, a city that balances suburban calm with real access to the Hampton Roads region. The streets here are lined with newer homes and established trees—the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23435. Daily life is easy: Food Lion is a short walk away, Hong Kong Restaurant and Domino's Pizza are nearby for quick meals, and Burger King rounds out your casual dining options. Moe Muscle gym sits less than a mile away if you're looking for a fitness routine. Bennett's Creek Park and Boat Ramp, also nearby, gives you green space and water access for recreation. Suffolk itself is a working city with a strong naval and medical presence. You're roughly 20 minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and 21 minutes to NSA Hampton Roads, making this location practical for anyone comparing homes for sale in Suffolk with a commute in mind. The city's location on the Elizabeth River and its mix of commercial and residential zones mean you get suburban peace without feeling isolated.

What's nearby

Food Lion grocery is just 0.3 miles away—practically on your doorstep. Hong Kong Restaurant and Domino's Pizza are equally close at 0.3 and 0.4 miles, perfect for nights you'd rather not cook. Burger King sits 0.5 miles out if you want a quick drive-through option. Moe Muscle gym is 0.7 miles away, and Bennett's Creek Park and Boat Ramp—also 0.7 miles—offers both green space and water access for kayaking or fishing. Everything you need for daily life clusters within a short drive.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about 20 minutes away, and NSA Hampton Roads is 21 minutes—both short enough for a reasonable commute. The home was built in 2020, so systems and structure are current. VA loan financing is common in this area, and the newer construction means minimal immediate repairs. You'll have four bedrooms and three baths to settle into right away.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms give everyone their own space—bedrooms for kids, a guest room, or a home office. Three full baths mean less morning conflict over the sink. The 2,925 square feet layout flows well for a household that's grown beyond a starter home. A newer build from 2020 means efficient systems, modern finishes, and years before major maintenance becomes a concern.
