Why this home stands out
What sets 1365 Independence Blvd apart is the combination of genuine square footage and a location that quietly overdelivers. At 2,526 square feet, there's real room to spread out — four bedrooms, three full baths, and the kind of floor plan that handles a busy household without feeling cramped. Layer on a sub-ten-minute drive to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and you've got a home that works hard for the people who live in it.
LAKE SMITH TERRACE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Lake Smith Terrace sits in the Bayside corridor of Virginia Beach — one of those established neighborhoods where the streets are lined with mature trees and the lots have actual breathing room. Built out largely in the 1970s, the area has a settled, community feel that newer developments often can't replicate. Neighbors tend to stay, which says something. If you're browsing virginia beach houses for sale and want a location that puts you close to both the oceanfront energy and the calmer, residential side of the city, this pocket delivers. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast — a coastal city with serious infrastructure, a strong military presence, and a year-round quality of life that draws people from across the country. The Bayside area in particular offers easy access to I-64, making the broader Hampton Roads metro genuinely accessible from your front door.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. Groceries are covered in every direction — Lidl, Harris Teeter, and Tienda Murido Latino Mart are all within 0.7 miles, so you're never far from a quick run. When you'd rather let someone else cook, The Pizzeria is four-tenths of a mile away, Nara Sushi is just down the road at 0.5 miles, and Subway is right there too. Colattao Coffee House is a half-mile out for a proper morning cup. Fitness options are equally solid: HOTWORX Virginia Beach Haygood, Sky's The Limit Yoga Co, and Natural Bodyz Fitness 24/7 are all under a mile. Haygood Point Park at 0.8 miles rounds things out nicely for weekend walks or outdoor time.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Six minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and fourteen to NAS Oceana — 1365 Independence Blvd puts two major installations within easy reach, which matters enormously when duty schedules are unpredictable. The four-bedroom layout handles growing families or the occasional out-of-town visitor, and using a VA loan here makes strong financial sense. BAH rates in Virginia Beach are competitive, and this location is built for military life.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and three full baths across 2,526 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and then some. The Lake Smith Terrace neighborhood has the kind of established, quiet character that families tend to prioritize once they've outgrown starter homes. You're close to groceries, parks, and restaurants, but far enough from the noise that coming home actually feels like coming home.

About buying in Virginia Beach
Homes for sale in Virginia Beach, VA span every price point and lifestyle — from oceanfront condos along the famous Boardwalk to sprawling waterfront estates on the Lynnhaven River and Linkhorn Bay. As the largest city in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach offers an unusually varied real estate market: established family neighborhoods in Great Neck (ZIP 23454), golf-course communities in Kempsville (23464), modern townhomes near Town Center (23462), and beach-cottage living along Sandbridge (23456). Whether you're searching for a starter home under $300K, a family home in a top-rated school district, or a luxury property north of $2 million, the active MLS inventory updates daily here. Buyer demand stays strong year-round, driven by Virginia Beach's mild coastal climate, the consistently top-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Kempsville High, Floyd E. Kellam High, Princess Anne High, and Cox High among them), and the city's role as home to Naval Air Station Oceana — the largest master jet base in the country. Military families relocating here through PCS orders make up a meaningful share of buyers, and VA loan financing is widely used. First-time buyers gravitate toward the inland ZIPs (23464, 23456, 23452), while second-home and luxury buyers tend toward 23451 (Oceanfront/North End) and 23454 (Great Neck/Bay Colony). Below you'll find every active Virginia Beach home for sale pulled live from the REIN MLS and refreshed every 5 minutes.
