Why this home stands out
What sets 1653 Lucia CT apart is its almost unbeatable proximity to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story — we're talking a three-minute commute. For anyone whose daily life revolves around that installation, this address quietly solves one of Hampton Roads' biggest logistical puzzles. Add a compact, low-maintenance footprint and a half-bath for guests, and you have a home sized for real life rather than square-footage bragging rights.
LAKE SMITH CONDOS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Lucia Court sits in the northern reaches of Virginia Beach, in a quiet cul-de-sac pocket close to the Chesapeake Bay shoreline. The surrounding area has the feel of an established, lived-in community — mature trees, modest lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stay put. It's far enough from the resort strip to avoid tourist traffic, yet close enough to the oceanfront that a weekend drive is never a production. Virginia Beach as a whole gives you one of the largest land-area cities on the East Coast, which means genuine variety: you can be at a state park, a marina, a craft brewery, or a big-box retail corridor within a short drive depending on which direction you point the car. The northern end of the city, where Lucia Court lands, skews toward working households with ties to the military installations nearby, giving the area a grounded, community-oriented character that's hard to manufacture.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are well covered from Lucia Court. A Walmart Supercenter and a Food Lion are both within a few minutes' drive for grocery runs. Shore Drive — the scenic corridor that hugs the Chesapeake Bay — is practically at your doorstep, lined with casual seafood spots, coffee shops, and waterfront bars. First Landing State Park, one of Virginia's most visited state parks, is a short drive away and offers hiking trails, kayak launches, and beach access. For anything bigger, the Hilltop and Pembroke retail districts are reachable in under 20 minutes.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Three minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is genuinely rare — most addresses that claim base convenience still add 10 or 15 minutes of gate traffic. At 1653 Lucia CT, you're close enough that a forgotten lunch can be retrieved on a break. NAS Oceana is also reachable in about 17 minutes, which keeps dual-military households in good shape. A VA loan makes this size and price point especially accessible for first-time military buyers.
For first-time buyers
At 1,240 square feet with two full baths and a half-bath, 1653 Lucia CT is sized to fit a first purchase without overwhelming it. Maintenance demands are manageable, the layout is efficient, and the northern Virginia Beach location puts you close to the bay, the bases, and everyday retail without locking you into a long commute. A VA loan can remove the down-payment barrier entirely for eligible buyers.

About buying in Virginia Beach
Homes for sale in Virginia Beach, VA span every price point and lifestyle — from oceanfront condos along the famous Boardwalk to sprawling waterfront estates on the Lynnhaven River and Linkhorn Bay. As the largest city in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach offers an unusually varied real estate market: established family neighborhoods in Great Neck (ZIP 23454), golf-course communities in Kempsville (23464), modern townhomes near Town Center (23462), and beach-cottage living along Sandbridge (23456). Whether you're searching for a starter home under $300K, a family home in a top-rated school district, or a luxury property north of $2 million, the active MLS inventory updates daily here. Buyer demand stays strong year-round, driven by Virginia Beach's mild coastal climate, the consistently top-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Kempsville High, Floyd E. Kellam High, Princess Anne High, and Cox High among them), and the city's role as home to Naval Air Station Oceana — the largest master jet base in the country. Military families relocating here through PCS orders make up a meaningful share of buyers, and VA loan financing is widely used. First-time buyers gravitate toward the inland ZIPs (23464, 23456, 23452), while second-home and luxury buyers tend toward 23451 (Oceanfront/North End) and 23454 (Great Neck/Bay Colony). Below you'll find every active Virginia Beach home for sale pulled live from the REIN MLS and refreshed every 5 minutes.
