Why this home stands out
What makes 181 Golden Maple Drive stand out among homes for sale in Virginia Beach VA is the combination of generous square footage, a half-bath for guests, and a location that puts you within a half-mile of two grocery stores, multiple parks, and a handful of quick-service restaurants. For a 1989 build, the footprint is substantial — 2,338 square feet spread across four bedrooms gives everyone room to breathe without the sprawl of a newer construction lot.
LYNNHAVEN WOODS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Golden Maple Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach, one of the most livable cities on the East Coast. Virginia Beach stretches from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean and is home to roughly 460,000 residents, yet individual neighborhoods here manage to feel genuinely low-key. The streets around Golden Maple Drive are lined with mature trees and single-family homes from the late 1980s and early 1990s — a period when builders prioritized solid construction and practical layouts over flash. Sidewalks connect you to nearby green space, and the overall vibe is unhurried and community-oriented. It's the kind of street where neighbors wave and kids ride bikes. Virginia Beach homes in this part of the city tend to attract buyers who want proximity to the base corridor without the noise of living directly under the flight path, and this address threads that needle well. The broader city offers world-class oceanfront recreation, a thriving restaurant scene, and strong infrastructure — all within reach from this central location.
