BRANDON and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Guthrie Street sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach — one of the most populous cities on the East Coast and a place where military families, longtime locals, and newcomers all put down roots.

The Kempsville area, broadly speaking, is one of the more established quadrants of Virginia Beach — diverse, practical, and genuinely livable day to day.
