Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms and three full baths across 2,526 square feet is a combination that's genuinely hard to find at this size class in Virginia Beach. The 1973 construction era typically means solid bones — real wood framing, generous room proportions, and lot sizes that newer subdivisions rarely match. Whether you need room for a growing household, a dedicated home office, or a guest suite, the layout here gives you real options without compromise.
LAKE SMITH TERRACE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
1365 Independence Blvd sits in the Haygood area of Virginia Beach, a well-established residential corridor in the northern part of the city. The streets here have a settled, mature feel — tree-lined blocks, single-family homes with real yards, and neighbors who've been around long enough to wave hello. It's the kind of area where you're close to everything without feeling like you're on top of it. Virginia Beach as a whole offers a rare mix of coastal lifestyle, strong infrastructure, and one of the largest concentrations of military installations on the East Coast. The Haygood corridor specifically benefits from quick access to both the oceanfront and the interstate, making commutes in almost any direction manageable. Grocery stores, parks, and restaurants are all within a mile, and the broader Virginia Beach grid means you're never far from whatever you need — hardware store, urgent care, or a good meal. The neighborhood has aged gracefully, and homes here tend to hold their character.

Coffee before work is a non-issue with Colattao Coffee House at 0.4 miles. Fitness-minded households will appreciate HOTWORX Virginia Beach at 0.6 miles, and Haygood Point Park and Pembroke Meadows Neighborhood Park are both within a mile for outdoor time.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is six minutes away — that's about as close as it gets in Virginia Beach without living on base. NAS Oceana is 14 minutes in the other direction, which makes this address genuinely workable for dual-military households. A VA loan can stretch further on a five-bedroom footprint like this, and the proximity to two major installations means you're well-positioned no matter where orders take the household next.
Room to grow
Five bedrooms and three full baths means everyone gets their own space — and then some. At 2,526 square feet, there's room for a dedicated home office, a playroom, or a proper guest suite without anyone feeling crowded. The Haygood location puts parks, groceries, and restaurants within a mile, so the logistics of family life stay manageable. This is the kind of square footage that changes how a household actually functions day to day.
