Why this home stands out
New construction in an established neighborhood is a rare combination, and 502 Susan Street delivers exactly that. Built in 2025, this four-bedroom home brings fresh finishes, modern systems, and a half-bath on the main level to a block that already has walkable groceries, quick-serve dining, and two major military installations within a ten-minute drive. You get the convenience of an urban address without sacrificing square footage or bedroom count.
HODGES PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market
Hodges Park sits in the heart of Portsmouth, Virginia — a city that punches well above its size when it comes to character, history, and everyday practicality. The neighborhood has a lived-in, community feel: tree-lined streets, a mix of long-time residents and newer arrivals, and a location that keeps you close to everything without the noise of a major corridor. Portsmouth itself borders Norfolk and Chesapeake, which means you're woven into the broader Hampton Roads fabric while still enjoying a city with its own distinct identity — a working waterfront, a revitalized Olde Towne district, and some of the most competitive price points in the region. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth consistently find that the city offers more house per square foot than its neighbors across the water. The 23701 zip code anchors the southwestern side of the city, where Hodges Park sits comfortably among established streets and accessible amenities.
