THOMPKINS ESTATES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
General Street sits in the interior of Virginia Beach, in a quiet residential pocket of the 23464 zip code. The streets here are lined with single-family homes from the 1970s, a period when this part of the city was built out with solid, practical layouts on generous lots. The neighborhood has a settled, low-traffic feel. Neighbors tend to stay a while, and the blocks are walkable without being busy. Virginia Beach is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and this location puts you near its geographic center. That means fast access to both the oceanfront and the western suburbs without committing to either edge. Interstate 264 and the Virginia Beach Expressway are both within easy reach. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23464 will notice how much daily-errand infrastructure is packed into this corridor — groceries, fitness, coffee, and parks are all within a half-mile walk.
