1097 Caton Drive is a six-bedroom, six-thousand-six-hundred-twenty square foot home in Virginia Beach built in 2000, sitting just seven minutes from NAS Oceana. With 4.5 bathrooms and serious square footage, this address works hard for large households and multi-generational living alike.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Six bedrooms and 6,620 square feet is a combination that's genuinely rare in Virginia Beach's residential market. Built in 2000, the home hits a sweet spot — substantial enough to give every family member real breathing room, yet modern enough that the bones are solid. Four and a half bathrooms means morning routines don't become a negotiation. For households that have simply outgrown everything else they've toured, Caton Drive tends to end the search.

LINKHORN OAKS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Caton Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach — a city that consistently earns its reputation as one of the most livable metros on the East Coast. Virginia Beach stretches from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline to the Atlantic, and this address lands in the inland western corridor where neighborhoods feel established and unhurried. Streets here are lined with mature trees, and the scale of the lots gives homes genuine separation from one another. You're close enough to the resort strip and the oceanfront to enjoy them on your own terms, but far enough that daily life stays calm. The city's mix of military heritage, coastal recreation, and suburban infrastructure makes it attractive to a wide range of households — and that diversity shows up in the neighborhood's character. Local parks, fitness studios, and green space are all within a short drive or walk, and major retail corridors along Virginia Beach Boulevard and Lynnhaven Parkway are easy to reach without committing to a long drive.

What's nearby

Brighton on the Bay Park is just 0.3 miles away — a quick walk when you need fresh air without planning ahead. Lynnhaven Park and Southall Quarter Park are both under a mile out, giving you multiple green-space options depending on the day. For fitness, the immediate area is unusually well-served: True Pilates Virginia Beach, Restorative Therapy Co., and TheStudio @RTC are all within 0.7 miles of the front door, clustered close enough that you can try all three before committing to one. Grocery runs, dining, and everyday errands along the Lynnhaven corridor are a short drive east.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Seven minutes to NAS Oceana and twelve to Dam Neck Annex makes 1097 Caton Drive one of the more strategically located addresses in Virginia Beach for active-duty households. Six bedrooms absorbs the reality of military family life — home offices, overnight guests, and the occasional family member staying through a deployment. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than most buyers expect.

For families upgrading

If your current home stopped fitting your family a year or two ago, 6,620 square feet finally gives everyone room to spread out without stepping on each other. Six bedrooms means the guest room doesn't have to double as a home office, and 4.5 bathrooms means school mornings actually run on schedule. Caton Drive is the kind of address families tend to stay in for the long haul.
