Why this home stands out
A full acre inside Virginia Beach city limits is genuinely rare, and 1400 N Woodhouse Rd delivers exactly that. Built in 1960 and spanning 3,094 square feet, this single-family home gives you the breathing room of a larger suburban lot without sacrificing proximity to the coast, the bases, or everyday conveniences. Four bedrooms and three and a half baths means there's space for everyone — and then some.
ALANTON and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Alanton sits in the Princess Anne Hills corridor of Virginia Beach, a stretch of the city where mature tree canopies, winding streets, and acre-plus lots create a pace of life that feels a world apart from the resort strip — yet you're still squarely inside one of the most desirable zip codes on the East Coast. This is the kind of house virginia beach va buyers search for when they want real neighborhood character: established homes, long-term neighbors, and streets where people actually walk their dogs. The area developed primarily through the 1950s and 1960s, so you'll find a mix of mid-century ranches and expanded colonials sitting on generously sized parcels. Virginia Beach's Chesapeake Bay shoreline is just a few minutes north, and the Atlantic oceanfront is a short drive east. The city's infrastructure — libraries, recreation centers, fire stations — is mature and well-distributed across this part of the Southside.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy from N Woodhouse Rd. Harris Teeter and Food Lion are both about a mile away, so grocery runs don't require planning. When you'd rather let someone else cook, Ynot Italian is right in that same radius. Starbucks Coffee Company is a quick stop for mornings on the go, and Virginia Beach Physical Therapy and Wellness is close enough to make consistency actually realistic. For outdoor time closer to home, Brighton on the Bay Park is just 0.6 miles away — a genuinely walkable option for an afternoon outside.
