Why this home stands out

Built in 2024, this home carries none of the maintenance baggage that older properties bring. The four-bedroom floor plan gives you real flexibility — a home office, a guest room, or extra storage all become options. Two full baths keep morning routines smooth. The 1,698-square-foot layout is efficient without feeling cramped, and the new-construction finish means systems, surfaces, and fixtures are all starting fresh.

RIVERWOOD ESTATES and the Franklin real estate market

River Landing Crescent sits in a newer residential pocket of Franklin, Virginia. The streets here are quiet, and the homes are recent builds with clean lines and tidy lots. Franklin is a small independent city in Southampton County, tucked along the Blackwater River in southeastern Virginia. It has the feel of a close-knit community where neighbors tend to know each other. Getting around is straightforward — US-58 runs through the heart of the city and connects you west toward Suffolk and east toward Emporia. Downtown Franklin is compact and walkable, with local shops and services within a short drive. Anyone browsing Franklin homes for sale will find that new construction on River Landing Crescent stands apart from the older housing stock that makes up most of the city's inventory. The city is roughly 40 minutes from the Suffolk area and about an hour from downtown Norfolk.

What's nearby

Blackwater Park is just 0.8 miles away — an easy walk or a quick bike ride for an afternoon outside. The park sits along the Blackwater River and gives you access to open green space without leaving the neighborhood. Franklin's downtown core is close by, with grocery options, pharmacies, and local dining all within a short drive. The city's compact size means you rarely spend much time in the car for everyday errands. For larger retail or specialty shopping, Suffolk and the broader Hampton Roads corridor are accessible via US-58.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk is about 39 minutes from River Landing Crescent via US-58. VA loan financing is a natural fit for a 2024-built home — no seller concessions needed to address deferred maintenance, and appraisals on new construction tend to be straightforward. The four-bedroom count also supports a BAH calculation that works in your favor in this market.

For first-time buyers

New construction removes one of the biggest unknowns for a first purchase: the condition of major systems. The roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are all brand new. Four bedrooms give you room to grow into the space rather than out of it quickly. Franklin's price point makes it one of the more accessible entry points in the Hampton Roads region for buyers stepping into ownership for the first time.
