Why the Elizabeth River is Perfect for New Home Building

At WeldenField & Rowe Custom Homes, we are extremely proud of the work we’ve done building homes along the Elizabeth River. This vital river is an integral part of the local economy and one of the most important branches of the Intracoastal Waterway. As part of this 3,000-mile-long network of bays, rivers, and canals stretching from the Gulf coasts to the Atlantic shore, the Elizabeth River is pivotal to life and travel in the region.

The southern branch of the Elizabeth River is home to Riverview at The Preserve, a premier community hosting the work of WeldenField & Rowe Custom Homes. This is a short distance from the Great Bridge Lock Part, a fantastic location for families and friends to enjoy playgrounds, hiking trails, fishing, crabbing, and boating.

Benefits of Both Worlds

Owning a new home at Riverview at The Preserve is an exciting opportunity to capture both the tranquility of nature and the fun of urban living at once. Chesapeake and Norfolk are only a short car ride away, offering residents countless opportunities for fun, food, shopping, and cultural events. If you’re interested in American history, you’ll only be a short distance from several historical sites from the Revolutionary and Civil wars and various museums. Golfers will find something to love at one of the many courses in the area. After a day out and about or in town, come home to Riverview at The Preserve and enjoy the solitude and quiet of living along the Elizabeth River.
