Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 1636 Sword Dancer Drive apart is its rare proximity to two military installations — Dam Neck Annex is practically around the corner, and NAS Oceana is a quick eight-minute drive. Add three parks within a quarter mile, a neighborhood restaurant steps away, and the well-established character of Ocean Lakes, and you have a location that's genuinely hard to replicate in Virginia Beach.

OCEAN LAKES and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Ocean Lakes is one of Virginia Beach's most established residential communities — a neighborhood where tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and a strong sense of place come standard. Developed primarily through the 1980s and early 1990s, it carries that comfortable, lived-in character that newer subdivisions simply can't manufacture. Streets here feel quiet without feeling remote, and neighbors tend to put down real roots. If you're exploring what's for sale virginia beach va has to offer in terms of established neighborhoods with genuine community feel, Ocean Lakes consistently stands out. The area sits in the southern end of Virginia Beach, which means you're close to the Oceanfront without being in the thick of tourist traffic, and you're well-positioned for commutes in multiple directions. Virginia Beach's city amenities — parks, recreation centers, shopping corridors — are all within easy reach from this address.

What's nearby

Daily life flows easily from 1636 Sword Dancer Drive. COCO's Cuisine is just 0.2 miles away — close enough to walk on a good evening. The Galley is a mile out when you're in the mood for something different. For outdoor time, you're spoiled for choice: Pine Meadows West Park and Da Vinci Park are both 0.3 miles away, and Box Elder Arch Park sits 0.4 miles out. Three parks within a half mile means morning walks, afternoon runs, and weekend hangs all happen close to home. The surrounding area fills in the rest — groceries, pharmacies, and everyday errands are all within a short drive.
