VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

1040 Bobolink Drive is a generously scaled four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home in Virginia Beach, offering more than 5,100 square feet on a property that dates to 1950 — rare square footage for this coastal corner of the city.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Five thousand square feet in a 1950-era Virginia Beach home is genuinely uncommon. Whatever additions or evolutions shaped this address over the decades, the result is a residence with the kind of room count and square footage that lets a large household spread out without compromise. Four full baths plus a half bath means morning routines rarely collide, and four true bedrooms give everyone a dedicated space.

BIRDNECK POINT and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Bobolink Drive sits in the northern reaches of Virginia Beach, close to the Shore Drive corridor and the waterfront neighborhoods that define this part of the city. The area has a relaxed, established character — tree-lined streets, mid-century homes with generous lots, and neighbors who tend to stay for years. You're a short drive from the Chesapeake Bay beaches at First Landing State Park, and the Atlantic Ocean beaches are equally accessible heading south. Virginia Beach as a whole is one of the most populous cities on the East Coast, yet this corner of it feels distinctly neighborhood-scaled. Grocery runs, coffee stops, and waterfront dining are all within easy reach along Shore Drive and the surrounding commercial strips. The city's extensive park system, bike trails, and bay access points are woven into the fabric of daily life here, making outdoor activity less of a weekend event and more of a Tuesday afternoon option.

What's nearby

First Landing State Park is just minutes away, offering kayak launches, hiking trails, and bay swimming. The Shore Drive corridor puts waterfront restaurants, local coffee shops, and casual dining within a five-to-ten-minute drive. Grocery options including a full-service supermarket are close by. Lynnhaven Mall and the broader retail corridor along Virginia Beach Boulevard are reachable in roughly fifteen minutes. The Oceanfront boardwalk and resort strip sit about twenty minutes south, giving you access to the full Atlantic beach experience without living in the thick of the tourist zone.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NAS Oceana is seven minutes from the front door — one of the shortest commutes you'll find for a home this size anywhere in Virginia Beach. Dam Neck Annex is eleven minutes out. For a dual-military household or a family that needs space for guests, a home office, and a dedicated playroom all at once, 5,127 square feet at this location is a combination worth a serious look. A VA loan can make the financing side straightforward.

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms, four and a half baths, and more than 5,100 square feet means you're not making trade-offs. There's room for a dedicated home office, a proper guest suite, and still have bedrooms left over for the kids. The 1950 bones of this home mean mature landscaping and an established street — the kind of neighborhood where kids actually play outside and neighbors know each other's names.
