Why this home stands out
Built in 2021, this fourth-floor unit delivers the square footage of a single-family home — 1,923 square feet, three full bedrooms, three full baths — without the yard work, and it sits steps from the Atlantic. The year of construction means modern finishes, current building codes, and none of the deferred-maintenance surprises that come with older coastal properties. That combination of size, newness, and location is genuinely rare at the Virginia Beach oceanfront.
NORTH END VA. BEACH and the Virginia Beach real estate market
The 42nd Street corridor sits in the North Beach section of Virginia Beach, where the resort strip starts to quiet down and a more residential personality takes over. You're still close enough to the Boardwalk energy when you want it, but the immediate block has a neighborhood feel — local restaurants, small parks, and a walkable pace that draws both full-time residents and people planting roots here for the long haul. Virginia Beach new homes at this address benefit from one of the city's most recognizable backdrops: the Atlantic Ocean, the sea breeze, and a skyline that never really gets old. Virginia Beach itself is the most populous city in Virginia, home to a diverse economy anchored by military, tourism, and a growing tech sector. The city's investment in the North Beach corridor — streetscaping, parks, mixed-use development — has made this stretch one of the more desirable pockets for buyers who want coastal living without sacrificing urban convenience.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. TASTE is 0.4 miles away for quick grocery runs, and a Harris Teeter sits just a mile out for a full shop. Coffee options stack up fast: We Scream Ice Cream and Coffee Shop is a two-minute walk, and The Green Cat Juice Bar & Market is just 0.3 miles. For dinner without a car, The Deck Seagrill & Bar, Tulu Seaside Bar & Grill, and Orion's Roof are all essentially at your doorstep. Cavalier Grand Lawn is 0.2 miles for open-air time, and Muscle Beach and Hillier Ignite Fitness Park both sit within half a mile if you prefer a structured workout. This is a walkable address in the truest sense.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is nine minutes from the front door, and Dam Neck Annex is eleven — two of Hampton Roads' most active installations within a short commute. A VA loan pairs naturally with a newer build like this one: no seller-required repairs on a 2021 property, and BAH at the E-7 through O-3 range in Virginia Beach covers a meaningful portion of ownership costs here. Three bedrooms and three baths give a family real room to spread out.
For first-time buyers

The size — nearly 1,923 square feet — gives you room to grow into the space rather than out of it quickly.
