Why this home stands out

At 2,810 square feet, 1637 Wakefield Drive offers more room than most homes in this zip code. The 1956 construction gives it solid bones and a floor plan that lives large. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths means everyone gets their own space. Bayville Farms Park and a dog park are both under a mile away, and two major bases are within a short drive. This address checks a lot of boxes.

THOROUGHGOOD and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Wakefield Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach near the 23455 zip code's northern edge. The streets here are lined with mid-century homes on generous lots. Neighbors tend to keep their yards well, and the block has a settled, established feel. Bayville Park is less than a mile away, giving the area a green, open character. This part of Virginia Beach connects easily to Shore Drive and the Chesapeake Bay waterfront. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast. It stretches from the Oceanfront resort strip to rural farmland in the south. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 64 is accessible within minutes. Daily errands, dining, and recreation are all well within reach from this address. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23455 will notice how well this corridor balances suburban calm with city convenience.

What's nearby

Bayside Recreation Center is just 0.7 miles away and offers a full gym and community programming. Bayville Park, Bayville Farms Park, and Bayville Farms Dog Park are all about 0.9 miles from the front door. That cluster of green space is rare — you get trails, open fields, and a dedicated off-leash area within a single short drive or bike ride. Shore Drive's restaurants and shops are close by as well. JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is about five minutes away by car. NAS Oceana is roughly 14 minutes southeast.

For buyers drawn to character

Built in 1956, this home carries the hallmarks of mid-century construction — solid framing, a real floor plan, and proportions that newer builds rarely match. At 2,810 square feet, there is genuine room to make it your own. The established neighborhood adds to the appeal. Buyers drawn to Virginia Beach homes for sale with history and character will find a lot to work with at this address.
