Where the Nansemond River widens on its way to meet the James, Northern Suffolk has become one of the most appealing places to live in Hampton Roads. Bennett's Creek Quarter, Eastwood Homes' master-planned community in this part of the city, offers two distinct neighborhoods under one shared set of amenities: single-family homes at The Vistas and townhome-style condominiums at Array.
Northern Suffolk sits near the intersection of Interstate 664 and Route 17, giving residents easy access north through the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel to Newport News and Hampton, or south toward Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. The nearby Harbour View area provides groceries, dining, retail, and medical care, including Sentara BelleHarbour's 24-hour emergency department, all just minutes from home.
Things to Do Near Bennett's Creek Quarter
Bennett's Creek Park, a 57-acre city park along Bennett's Creek, offers boat ramps onto the Nansemond River, a fishing and crabbing pier, a nature trail, disc golf, and a canoe trail through the salt marsh. Sleepy Hole Golf Course, Riverfront Golf Club, and the Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail are also close by, with the Norfolk waterfront and Chesapeake Bay beaches an easy drive away.
Residents of both neighborhoods share a clubhouse with a 24-hour fitness center, a pool with a covered patio, a fire pit, pocket parks, a dog park, a playground, sidewalks, and nature trails, all planned to encourage the kind of neighborly connection that makes a community feel like home.
