603 Susan St, Portsmouth, VA 23701

Why this home stands out

Built in 2025, 603 Susan Street delivers 1,900 square feet of genuinely new construction in a city where most of the housing stock carries decades of history. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths give you room to grow, and the location inside Hodges Park puts everyday errands — groceries, a workout, a quick bite — within a short walk. There's no deferred maintenance to budget for, no aging systems to second-guess. Just a clean slate in a connected neighborhood.

HODGES PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market

Hodges Park sits in the western reaches of Portsmouth, a city that punches well above its size when it comes to character and convenience. The neighborhood has a grounded, residential feel — tree-lined blocks, a mix of long-time owners and newer arrivals, and a genuine sense of place that newer master-planned communities often lack. Portsmouth itself is one of the seven cities of Hampton Roads, bordered by the Elizabeth River and connected to Norfolk by tunnel and bridge. It's a working city with a deep naval history, a revitalized downtown waterfront, and a cost of living that makes homes for sale in Portsmouth genuinely competitive compared to neighboring Virginia Beach or Chesapeake. For families comparing Portsmouth homes for sale across different zip codes, the 23701 corridor offers solid infrastructure, multiple grocery options within walking distance, and quick access to the interstate. Daily life here is efficient without feeling suburban-generic.

What's nearby

Groceries are almost embarrassingly close — Food Lion and MP International Grocery are both within a tenth of a mile, so a quick run for dinner ingredients is a two-minute walk. When you'd rather let someone else cook, Mom & Son Thai Kitchen, Chick N Roll, and Chinese Gourmet Hibachi Express are all right there. TIGER Academy of Martial Arts is 0.2 miles away for after-school or weekend training, and Portsmouth Volleyball Center is the same distance if you prefer court sports. Hodges Manor Park is half a mile out for open-air time, and Portsmouth City Park and URBAN ICE are both about a mile away when you want a longer outing or a proper coffee stop.
