Why this home stands out
Ten thousand square feet on two acres inside Virginia Beach city limits is a combination that almost never comes up. Forest Hills is one of the few neighborhoods where lots of this size exist at all, and 1700 River Court sits on one of the larger ones. Five full bathrooms plus three half-baths means the square footage is matched by the infrastructure — this isn't a big house that runs out of bathrooms. The 2012 build year puts it squarely in modern construction standards without the quirks of an older estate.
FOREST HILLS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Forest Hills is a well-established residential enclave in the Great Neck corridor of Virginia Beach — the kind of neighborhood where large lots, mature trees, and generous setbacks give the streets a quieter, more spacious feel than most of the surrounding city. Homes here tend to be substantial, and the neighborhood has long attracted buyers who want room to breathe without leaving the conveniences of Virginia Beach behind. When you're browsing virginia beach homes for sale and filtering for acreage, Forest Hills keeps coming up for good reason. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast — a place where the oceanfront, the Chesapeake Bay, and miles of inland waterways all coexist with strong infrastructure, a diverse dining scene, and easy access to the broader Hampton Roads region. The Great Neck area specifically sits in the northern part of the city, putting you close to the water, close to recreation, and surprisingly close to two major military installations.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from 1700 River Court. Great Neck Park and Indoor Pavilion is just 0.4 miles away — a genuine neighborhood anchor with green space and covered facilities that get used year-round. Broad Bay Estates Park is another option at 0.6 miles, and Chelsea/Green Hill Park rounds things out at about a mile. If you prefer structured fitness, Great Neck Recreation Center is half a mile from the front door and offers gym facilities without a long commute. All four of these are reachable on foot or a very short drive, which means weekday evenings and weekend mornings have a lot of built-in options.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is nine minutes from 1700 River Court, and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is eleven. For a household weighing BAH against a mortgage on a property this size, the math is worth running carefully — especially with a VA loan potentially in play. Five bedrooms and over 10,000 square feet means the home can absorb a large family, a home office, and a guest suite without anyone feeling crowded.
For families upgrading
If you've been searching for houses for sale virginia beach with enough room to actually spread out — dedicated space for a home gym, a proper home office, guest rooms that don't double as storage — 1700 River Court is the kind of property that ends the search. Five bedrooms, five full baths, three half-baths, and a 2.06-acre lot give a growing or multi-generational household genuine flexibility. Forest Hills is the setting; the square footage is the substance.
