STRATFORD CHASE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Tarington Landing sits within the broader Kempsville area of Virginia Beach — one of the city's most established inland communities.

If you've been searching for a home for sale virginia beach va that puts you close to everyday conveniences without the congestion of the oceanfront corridors, Kempsville delivers.

The neighborhood carries a practical, no-fuss energy: neighbors know each other, parks are walkable, and the commercial strips along Kempsville Road and Ferrell Parkway keep errands short.
What's nearby
