Why this home stands out
At 4,642 square feet, 1042 Caton Drive gives you room that most Virginia Beach homes simply can't match at this size class. Five true bedrooms and three full baths means everyone gets their own space, while the two half baths handle the flow of daily life gracefully. Built in 1996, the home sits in that sweet spot where construction quality is solid and floor plans were drawn with real families in mind — generous room sizes, defined living areas, and a footprint that adapts as your needs change.
LINKHORN OAKS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Caton Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach — one of the most livable cities on the East Coast and home to more than 450,000 residents spread across diverse neighborhoods, from oceanfront communities to wooded inland corridors. Virginia Beach consistently draws families and professionals who want coastal access without sacrificing suburban comfort, and this part of the city delivers exactly that. The surrounding streets are lined with mature trees and well-kept homes from the mid-1990s era, giving the area a settled, established feel that newer developments rarely achieve. You're far enough from the resort strip to enjoy genuine neighborhood quiet, yet close enough to the beach that a weekend morning drive to the shore is entirely casual. City services, parks, and everyday infrastructure are all well-developed in this part of Virginia Beach, reflecting decades of thoughtful growth in one of Virginia's largest and most economically stable municipalities.
What's nearby
Daily errands and weekend plans come together easily from 1042 Caton Drive. Grocery options, pharmacies, and retail corridors along Virginia Beach Boulevard and Lynnhaven Parkway are within a short drive. The Lynnhaven area offers a wide range of dining, from casual spots to sit-down restaurants, and First Landing State Park — one of the most visited state parks in Virginia — is reachable in under 15 minutes for hiking, kayaking, and waterfront recreation. The Virginia Beach Oceanfront boardwalk and resort area are roughly 20 minutes away. Commuters heading to NAS Oceana are just 7 minutes out, and Dam Neck Annex is approximately 12 minutes south.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to NAS Oceana makes 1042 Caton Drive one of the more strategically located homes for naval aviation families in Virginia Beach. Five bedrooms absorb PCS moves gracefully — whether you're bringing a large family, need a dedicated home office, or want a guest room ready for visiting family. VA loan eligibility can make a home this size genuinely accessible, and the established neighborhood means strong long-term stability.
For families upgrading
If your current home has stopped fitting your life, 1042 Caton Drive offers a meaningful step up. Four-thousand-plus square feet means bedrooms don't double as offices, guests have their own space, and the family room doesn't have to be everything at once. Built in 1996 with five bedrooms and three full baths, this is the kind of home you grow into rather than out of — and Virginia Beach's strong community infrastructure makes it an easy place to put down roots.
