Why this home stands out
Homes from 1925 are rare anywhere in Hampton Roads, and genuinely rare this close to the ocean. What you get at 116 62nd Street is a property with real architectural bones — the kind of proportions, craftsmanship, and lot presence that newer construction simply doesn't replicate. At 3,138 square feet, there's room to spread out without sacrificing the walkable, salt-air lifestyle that makes this stretch of Virginia Beach so hard to leave.
NORTH END VA. BEACH and the Virginia Beach real estate market
The 62nd Street corridor sits in the northern end of the Virginia Beach oceanfront strip, where the resort energy softens into something more residential and genuinely livable. You're close enough to the boardwalk to enjoy it, but far enough that the neighborhood has its own identity — tree-lined blocks, a mix of vintage and updated homes, and neighbors who tend to stay for years. When people search for houses virginia beach with real character and walkable beach access, this pocket consistently comes up. The city of Virginia Beach wraps around you here with all the infrastructure of a major coastal metro — solid road networks, robust commercial corridors, and easy access to both the Chesapeake Bay side and the Atlantic. First Landing State Park is practically in your backyard, which adds a layer of natural beauty that no amount of new development can manufacture. It's a neighborhood that rewards people who want both convenience and a genuine sense of place.
