Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 1556 Bunsen Drive apart is its rare combination of military-base proximity and quiet residential calm. Dam Neck Annex is literally a two-minute drive away, and NAS Oceana is reachable in eight. Yet the street itself is tucked inside Pine Meadows, a mature neighborhood where parks outnumber traffic lights. For a 1,508-square-foot home built in 1991, the layout makes smart use of every square foot across three bedrooms and two full baths.

PINE MEADOWS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Pine Meadows is one of those Virginia Beach neighborhoods that earns its name — tree-lined streets, a genuinely unhurried pace, and a community that feels established rather than brand-new. The subdivision sits in the southern part of the city, close enough to the oceanfront energy but far enough away that weekends feel like actual weekends. If you've been searching for a house for sale virginia beach va that puts you near the water, near the bases, and inside a real neighborhood all at once, Pine Meadows checks every box. Virginia Beach itself is the most populous city in the state, and this corner of it carries a relaxed, coastal character that draws both military families and long-term residents alike. The city's mix of outdoor recreation, dining, and year-round mild weather makes it a place people genuinely choose to stay.

What's nearby

Step outside and Pine Meadows West Park is just 0.1 miles away — a quick walk for morning routines or afternoon wind-downs. Two additional Pine Meadows Park entrances sit within 0.3 miles, so green space is always close. When you're ready to eat, COCO's Cuisine is 0.4 miles out, and both Warriors Taphouse and J&K Style Grill are under a mile away. Onelife Fitness at Red Mill is exactly 1.0 mile for gym days, and a 7-Eleven is the same distance when you need a quick coffee run before heading to the base.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Dam Neck Annex is two minutes from your front door — that's not a typo. NAS Oceana adds an eight-minute backup option. For military families weighing BAH and commute time together, 1556 Bunsen Drive lands in a genuinely strong position. A VA loan can make the financing side straightforward, and the Pine Meadows location means your family gets a real neighborhood, not just proximity to a gate.

For first-time buyers

Three bedrooms, two baths, and 1,508 square feet in an established Virginia Beach neighborhood — 1556 Bunsen Drive is the kind of home that makes a first purchase feel grounded rather than overwhelming. The 1991 build means the bones are solid, the layout is practical, and you're not starting from scratch. Parks within walking distance and restaurants under a mile away mean daily life clicks into place quickly.
