Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means you're getting modern framing, fresh mechanicals, and current building codes — no deferred maintenance, no guessing what's behind the walls. Five bedrooms give you genuine flexibility: a dedicated home office, a guest room, and still room for a full household. That combination of size, newness, and proximity to both Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is genuinely hard to find at a single address in this part of the city.
HODGES PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market
Hodges Park sits in the southwestern corner of Portsmouth, Virginia — a city with deep maritime roots, a walkable Olde Towne historic district, and a waterfront that faces the Elizabeth River. The neighborhood itself has a settled, residential feel: tree-lined streets, a mix of established homes and newer builds, and the kind of block-level familiarity that comes from a community that's been here a while. Susan St fits right into that fabric. Portsmouth is connected to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk by a web of bridges and tunnels, which makes it a practical hub for anyone whose daily life spans multiple Hampton Roads cities. For military households especially, the Hodges Park location is one of the most strategically placed in the region — two installations within a ten-minute drive, with I-264 and Route 58 both accessible for longer commutes. Daily errands, fitness, dining, and green space are all within a half-mile radius, which keeps car time to a minimum on ordinary days.
What's nearby
Day-to-day convenience is genuinely strong here. MP International Grocery is 0.2 miles away, and Food Lion is just 0.3 miles — so grocery runs stay quick. When you'd rather not cook, Sonic Drive-In, Hardee's, and Mom & Son Thai Kitchen are all within two blocks. TIGER Academy of Martial Arts is practically next door at 0.1 miles, and Portsmouth Volleyball Center is equally close — useful if anyone in the household is serious about a sport or just wants to stay active. Hodges Manor Park, 0.3 miles away, adds green space for weekend mornings. JGee Fitness is 0.6 miles out for a more traditional gym experience.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is nine minutes from the front door, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is ten. For a military household managing PCS cycles, that kind of proximity matters — it shortens the daily commute and keeps you inside a reasonable BAH band. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and five bedrooms means the whole family has room without anyone doubling up.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and 2,114 square feet of brand-new construction give a growing family genuine room to spread out — dedicated spaces for work, guests, and kids without the usual compromises. Everything is fresh: new systems, new finishes, current codes. You're not inheriting someone else's renovation decisions; you're starting clean in a neighborhood with parks and fitness options right outside.
