Why this home stands out
New construction in an established neighborhood is a rare combination, and 605 Susan St pulls it off. You're getting a 2025-built, five-bedroom home on a street where the sidewalks already have character and the community is already rooted. Grocery runs take under two minutes on foot, three restaurants are essentially at the corner, and two major military installations are a short drive away — making this one of the more practical addresses in the 23701 zip code.
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 history, waterfront access, and everyday livability. The neighborhood has a settled, residential feel — mature trees, modest lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stay. Susan Street itself is quiet without feeling remote, which is a balance Portsmouth does well. The city's roots run deep: it's home to the oldest naval shipyard in the country and a downtown that's been steadily finding its footing again. For families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth, the city's compact geography is a genuine asset — nothing feels far, and commutes to the region's major bases rarely stretch past fifteen minutes. Portsmouth also connects easily to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk via a network of bridges and tunnels, keeping the broader Hampton Roads metro well within reach.

Day-to-day errands barely require a car here. Food Lion and MP International Grocery are both within a tenth of a mile, and Dollar General is under a mile away for quick fill-in runs. For food, Mom & Son Thai Kitchen, Chick N Roll, and Chinese Gourmet Hibachi Express are all essentially around the corner — a genuinely diverse lineup for a neighborhood street. URBAN ICE, a local coffee shop, is about a mile out for a morning stop. Staying active is easy too: TIGER Academy of Martial Arts is two-tenths of a mile away, JGee Fitness is under a mile, and Portsmouth Volleyball Center is just down the road. Hodges Manor Park and Portsmouth City Park round out the outdoor options within a mile.
