Why this home stands out

The address on Unicorn Drive stands out for one reason above all: Dam Neck Annex is literally around the corner. That two-minute drive is rare among Virginia Beach homes for sale. NAS Oceana is nine minutes away, giving the address a second major installation within easy reach. Two neighborhood parks sit within a quarter mile, and a local restaurant is just steps down the street.

OCEAN LAKES and the Virginia Beach real estate market

The streets around Unicorn Drive are quiet and residential, lined with single-family homes built in the late 1980s. Pine Meadows is the kind of neighborhood where sidewalks get used and neighbors recognize each other. Lots are modest in size, and the tree cover gives the area a settled, comfortable feel. The zip code 23454 sits in the southern half of Virginia Beach, well away from the tourist corridor. Homes for sale in 23454 tend to draw buyers who want proximity to the bases without sacrificing everyday convenience. Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area in the country. That size means the city offers a wide range of experiences, from the Oceanfront boardwalk to the rural farmland of the Pungo area. Getting around is straightforward — Princess Anne Road and Dam Neck Road connect this neighborhood to the rest of the city quickly. The light rail Tide system reaches downtown Norfolk from the VB Town Center area, adding another commute option.

What's nearby

COCO's Cuisine is 0.2 miles away — an easy walk for a weeknight dinner. The Galley is about a mile out and worth the short drive. Pine Meadows West Park is also 0.2 miles from the front door, giving you green space without getting in the car. Pine Meadows Park appears in two directions within 0.3 and 0.4 miles, so there is no shortage of outdoor room to spread out. Dam Neck Annex is a two-minute drive, and NAS Oceana is nine minutes north on surface streets.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Dam Neck Annex is about two minutes by car — one of the shortest base commutes you will find anywhere in Virginia Beach. NAS Oceana adds a second installation just nine minutes away. VA loan financing is common and well-understood in this part of the city. The home is move-in condition with a straightforward layout and no major unknowns.

For first-time buyers

Three bedrooms and two and a half baths give you real space without overcommitting on square footage. The 1988 build means the major systems are established and the floor plan is practical. Two parks within a quarter mile add outdoor room you do not have to maintain. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Ocean Lakes High School or homes for sale zoned for Ocean Lakes Elementary School will find this address lands squarely in that zone.
