Why this home stands out
What sets 1072 Taylor Road apart is its genuinely walkable pocket of Virginia Beach — three parks within a quarter mile, a full grocery run under a mile, and a dining strip that covers everything from pho to pizza without getting on the highway. For a 1993 build, the floor plan stretches well across 1,805 square feet, and the half-bath on a separate level keeps daily routines from stacking up at one bathroom.
WHITEHURST LANDING and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Taylor Road sits in the Kempsville corridor of Virginia Beach, one of the city's most established inland neighborhoods. This part of Virginia Beach grew up in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the streets here have a settled, lived-in character — mature tree canopy, consistent lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stay put. The broader Kempsville area is known for its cultural mix, reflected in the variety of restaurants and specialty grocers within walking distance. You're inland enough to avoid the tourist-season congestion of the oceanfront, but central enough that Interstate 264 and Indian River Road keep the rest of Hampton Roads accessible. Virginia Beach city services, parks, and infrastructure are well-established in this zip code. At 23464, you're roughly equidistant from the commercial anchors of Kempsville to the north and the Chesapeake border to the south, which means errands almost always have multiple options.
What's nearby
Whitehurst Grove Park is just 0.2 miles from your front door — a quick walk for morning routines or an after-dinner stroll. New Light Neighborhood Park and Cedar Hill Park are both within 0.4 miles. For food, SuperWok Chinese Restaurant, Chanello's Pizza, and Phở Viet 1 are all within 0.6 miles. Grocery options are equally close: Delicate Oriental Grocery at 0.6 miles and Kroger at 0.7 miles handle everything from specialty ingredients to weekly staples. The Indian River Family YMCA and Natural Bodyz Fitness 24/7 are both 0.6 miles away, and Jess Yoga is just 0.5 miles. Dunkin' and JMT Vegan Eats round out the morning coffee options nearby.
