Resort-style amenities on the Nansemond River

Set against a picturesque backdrop of the Nansemond and James Rivers in Suffolk, Virginia, lies The Riverfront at Harbour View, a premier master-planned golf course community that embodies luxury living. “Our resort-style amenities certainly have drawn many families looking for more than a house. They want to enjoy recreational living in their community – the bike trails, playgrounds, parks, community piers, and the two clubs,” says Mark Edwards, a Realtor and Broker with East West Realty, who has been selling property in the Suffolk area for 15 years. Upon entering the community, residents are greeted by stately homes, impeccably manicured lawns, and quiet, tree-lined streets. “The neighborhood's cul-de-sacs and various sections help create a real sense of community.” Several lakes and waterways contribute to the neighborhood’s natural, park-like ambiance and provide endless opportunities for fishing, boating and kayaking. At the heart of the Riverfront experience is the Riverfront Golf Club, a public, 18-hole course designed by architect Tom Doak, where golf enthusiasts appreciate the broad, velvet green fairways adorned with oaks and sycamores.

From condos to custom-built luxury

Residents can enjoy fairway views from their private decks in The Riverfront, and the houses reflect nothing short of grandeur. The community offers various housing options, from condos and townhomes to single-family dwellings, including custom-built homes with architectural styles inspired by English cottages, French Country estates and American Craftsman bungalows. Key features of these luxury homes include stone and brick masonry, multicar garages and private boat docks. Home sizes range from 1,700 to 4,800 square feet, and list prices span from $415,000 for a three-bedroom condo to well over $1 million for an exquisite riverside estate.
