Why this home stands out
What sets 273 Collins Road apart is the combination of acreage and newer construction — a pairing that's genuinely hard to find. Built in 2015, the home skips the maintenance headaches of older stock while giving you over an acre to work with. Whether you're thinking garden, outbuilding, fire pit, or just wide-open breathing room, the lot delivers options that tighter suburban parcels simply can't match.
WHALEYVILLE and the Suffolk real estate market
273 Collins Road sits within Suffolk's Area 63 designation — a loosely defined stretch of western Suffolk where properties tend to have larger lots, quieter roads, and a distinctly rural feel without being remote. Suffolk itself is one of the largest cities by land area in the entire United States, and that geography shapes daily life here. You get genuine space between neighbors, mature tree lines, and a pace that feels unhurried. At the same time, Suffolk's commercial corridors along Routes 58 and 460 keep everyday conveniences well within reach. The city has grown steadily over the past decade, drawing families who want proximity to Hampton Roads' job centers without paying urban-core prices. ALL OTHERS AREA 63 reflects that ethos — properties here tend to attract buyers who prioritize land, privacy, and a home that feels like a true retreat. It's a part of Suffolk that rewards people who know what they want: room to spread out, a newer home, and a community that hasn't been overbuilt.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
If you're stationed at Joint Staff J7 Suffolk, 273 Collins Road puts you roughly 28 minutes from the gate — a reasonable commute that buys you over an acre of land and a 2015-built home with four bedrooms. A VA loan can make that kind of space more accessible than you might expect, and Suffolk's lower cost of living stretches your BAH further than many Hampton Roads zip codes.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms, 2,245 square feet, and 1.13 acres give a growing family genuine room to breathe — indoors and out. Built in 2015, the home is young enough that major systems are still in their prime, which means your energy goes into living here rather than maintaining it. The lot alone opens up possibilities: a playset, a garden, a workshop, or simply a yard big enough for everyone to have their own corner of it.
