Read the full overview ↓

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.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from 1517 Custom Street. Groceries are covered within a short drive — Food Lion is just 0.5 miles away and Harris Teeter is 0.7 miles out. For dinner, Coastal Grill and Racha Thai Cuisine are both 0.2 miles away, and Havana is 0.3 miles for a relaxed meal or a morning coffee. Starbucks is also 0.3 miles if you need a quick caffeine stop. For fitness, Fishtail Yoga is a short walk at 0.3 miles, and Great Neck Recreation Center is 0.6 miles away. Laurel Cove Park is 0.5 miles out, Great Neck Park and Indoor Pavilion is 0.7 miles, and Colonial Oaks Park rounds things out at 0.8 miles — plenty of green space within easy reach.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NAS Oceana is eight minutes away, and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is about thirteen — making 1517 Custom Street one of the more strategically located addresses for dual-base households in Virginia Beach. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the established neighborhood means you're buying into a community that has welcomed military families for decades.

For families upgrading

Three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,878 square feet give a growing family real room to spread out. Add Laurel Cove Park and Great Neck Park both within a mile, dining options steps away, and two grocery stores under a mile, and you have the kind of address where upgrading your space doesn't mean sacrificing the convenience you've built your routine around.
