Why this home stands out

Two minutes to Dam Neck Annex is the headline, but the full picture is even better. NAS Oceana is about nine minutes away. Two separate park greenspaces sit within a quarter mile of the front door. COCO's Cuisine is literally around the corner at 0.2 miles. For anyone comparing homes for sale in 23454, that combination of base access, walkable parks, and a neighborhood restaurant this close is genuinely hard to find.

OCEAN LAKES and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Sword Dancer Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach near the southern end of the city. The streets here are lined with single-family homes built mostly in the late 1980s, giving the area a consistent, established feel. Mature trees and sidewalk-friendly lots make it easy to get outside without getting in a car. Pine Meadows West Park is just two-tenths of a mile away, and Pine Meadows Park is a short three-tenths of a mile stroll. The neighborhood has a calm, low-traffic character that comes from its location between the base corridors and the oceanfront resort district. Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast. That size means real variety — from the Oceanfront boardwalk to the rural western farmland, there is a lot of ground to cover. Getting around is straightforward via Princess Anne Road and General Booth Boulevard. Both corridors connect you to shopping, dining, and the interstate quickly. Anyone sorting through Virginia Beach homes for sale will notice that this corner of the city balances suburban quiet with genuine convenience.

What's nearby

COCO's Cuisine is 0.2 miles away — close enough to walk on a weekday evening. The Galley restaurant is about a mile out and worth the short drive. Pine Meadows West Park and Pine Meadows Park are both within a half mile, giving you two separate green spaces for morning walks or afternoon fresh air. A third Pine Meadows Park access point sits at 0.4 miles. The density of park options this close to one address is unusual and adds real everyday value to the location.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Dam Neck Annex is about two minutes away by car — one of the shortest base commutes you will find in Virginia Beach. NAS Oceana adds a nine-minute secondary option. VA loan financing is common in this zip code, and the 1988 construction means a concrete, established structure rather than a new-build wait. That kind of proximity and financing flexibility is a strong combination for anyone on orders.

For first-time buyers

Three bedrooms and two and a half baths in 1,692 square feet gives you real room without overextending. The 1988 build means the major systems are established and the neighborhood is fully formed. Two parks within walking distance add everyday value that does not show up in the square footage. For anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Ocean Lakes High School and homes for sale zoned for Ocean Lakes Elementary School, this address lands squarely in that zone.
