Why this home stands out

What sets 1812 Bernstein Drive apart is its proximity to not one but two major military installations — Dam Neck Annex is a three-minute drive and NAS Oceana is eight minutes out — while still sitting within a quiet residential pocket surrounded by three parks within half a mile. Four bedrooms and nearly 1,900 square feet give you genuine room to spread out, all in a well-established Virginia Beach neighborhood that has been drawing families since the early 1990s.

OCEAN LAKES and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Bernstein Drive sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Virginia Beach where the pace slows down without sacrificing convenience. Streets here are wide and walkable, neighbors tend to stay for years, and the overall feel is solidly residential without being remote. Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and this corner of it — tucked between the Oceana corridor and the Red Mill Commons area — gives you access to both the city's coastal energy and its everyday suburban rhythm. The zip code 23454 covers a broad swath of mid-city Virginia Beach, and homes for sale in 23454 consistently attract buyers who want proximity to the bases without trading away neighborhood character. You're close enough to the oceanfront to enjoy it on weekends but far enough to avoid the seasonal congestion that comes with living right on the strip.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from Bernstein Drive. Culver Park is just 0.2 miles away — a quick walk for morning routines or afternoon wind-downs — and both Da Vinci Park and Box Elder Arch Park are within 0.4 miles. Grocery runs are simple with a Lidl less than a mile out. When it's time to eat, COCO's Cuisine, Fuddruckers, and Malbon Bros. Corner Mart BBQ and Catering are all clustered around the 0.9-mile mark, giving you solid variety without a long drive. Fitness options are equally close: Onelife Fitness at Red Mill and Bliss Yoga both sit right at one mile, so keeping a routine here takes almost no effort.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Dam Neck Annex is three minutes from your front door — that's not a typo. NAS Oceana adds a second installation just eight minutes out, which means shorter commutes, more time at home, and a VA loan that stretches further in a neighborhood priced well below the oceanfront. Families comparing Virginia Beach homes for sale with base access rarely find this kind of dual-installation convenience in a single address.

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms and just under 1,900 square feet give a growing family real breathing room, and three parks within half a mile mean the kids have somewhere to go without loading everyone into the car. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Ocean Lakes High School and homes for sale zoned for Three Oaks Elementary School will find 1812 Bernstein Drive sits squarely in that zone, pairing school access with a neighborhood that already feels like home.

More buyer questions

How far is 1812 Bernstein Drive from Dam Neck Annex?

Dam Neck Annex is approximately three minutes by car from 1812 Bernstein Drive, making it one of the closest residential addresses to the base in Virginia Beach. That kind of proximity is especially valuable during high-tempo schedules or early-morning muster requirements.

How far is 1812 Bernstein Drive from NAS Oceana?

NAS Oceana is about eight minutes from the property, giving households with assignments at either installation a genuinely short commute. Having two major bases within ten minutes of one address is uncommon even in Hampton Roads.

Is 1812 Bernstein Drive in a flood zone?

Flood zone information for this address is covered in the dedicated FloodRisk tile on this page, which pulls current FEMA map data. Always review that section and discuss it with your agent before making any decisions.

What parks are near 1812 Bernstein Drive?

Culver Park is the closest at just 0.2 miles, and both Da Vinci Park and Box Elder Arch Park are within 0.4 miles. That concentration of green space within walking distance is one of the quiet advantages of this particular block.

Does the neighborhood near Bernstein Drive have an HOA?

HOA status can vary by subdivision within this part of Virginia Beach — your agent can confirm whether 1812 Bernstein Drive falls under an active homeowners association and what, if any, community guidelines apply.
