Why this home stands out
Built in 2024, this second-floor unit skips the compromises that come with older construction: fresh finishes, current building codes, and none of the deferred maintenance that shadows resale condos. The location is the other half of the story — a Dunkin', a Starbucks, a Target, and two fitness studios are all within a third of a mile, making this one of the most walkable addresses among Virginia Beach homes for sale in the southwestern corridor.
GUILFORD AT SPENCE CROSSING and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Virginia Beach is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the 23456 zip code sits in its southwestern interior — far from the oceanfront crowds but still fully plugged into everything the city offers. This part of Virginia Beach is defined by a practical, suburban rhythm: wide roads, mature tree lines, and a mix of established neighborhoods alongside newer developments like the one at Vankar Drive. The Green Run area, which anchors much of this zip code's identity, has long been a go-to for buyers who want proximity to both the military corridor and the city's commercial spine along Princess Anne Road. You're a short drive from the Virginia Beach Town Center, Kempsville, and the broader Chesapeake border, giving you genuine flexibility in how you spend your time off. It's a part of the city that rewards people who value convenience without the premium of a waterfront address.
What's nearby
Step outside and your daily routine practically runs itself. Papa John's Pizza, Golden China Restaurant, and Dunkin' are essentially on-site. Joyu Tea & Coffee and a Starbucks Coffee Company are both within a tenth of a mile for your morning ritual. Groceries are covered by a Target just 0.2 miles out, with Amoco and Nick's Oriental Express Grocery rounding out options within half a mile. Fitness is equally convenient — STRIKE Studio Virginia Beach and Onelife Fitness - Princess Anne Gym are 0.3 miles away, with HOTWORX Virginia Beach not far behind. When you want fresh air, Branford, Green Run Neighborhood Park, and Salem Village Park are all within half a mile.
