Why this home stands out
What sets 1517 Custom Street apart is the combination of a walkable, amenity-rich pocket of Virginia Beach and quick access to two major military installations. At 1,878 square feet on a single level of mid-century construction, the home offers real living space without the sprawl — and a neighborhood streetscape that feels established and rooted rather than freshly stamped from a cookie cutter.
GREAT NECK ESTATES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Custom Street sits in a quiet, tree-lined corridor of Virginia Beach where the pace slows down but nothing feels far away. The surrounding streets reflect the character you find in homes in va beach that were built to last — solid 1960s construction, generous lots, and neighbors who have been here long enough to wave hello by name. Virginia Beach is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast, blending coastal energy with genuine suburban comfort. This part of the city — tucked between Great Neck Road and the broader Shore Drive corridor — is particularly well-positioned: you're inland enough to feel residential and calm, yet close enough to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean that a beach day is never a production. The city's extensive park system, diverse dining scene, and military-friendly culture all converge here, making it a natural landing spot for families, professionals, and anyone who wants a real neighborhood rather than just an address.

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.
