Why this home stands out
What sets 1873 Haviland Drive apart is the combination of lot size and location that's genuinely hard to find in this price corridor. At 0.34 acres, you get breathing room — actual backyard space — while still being four minutes from Dam Neck Annex and nine from NAS Oceana. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 1,633 square feet of lived-in, practical layout round out a property that punches above its footprint.
OCEAN LAKES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Ocean Lakes is one of Virginia Beach's most consistently sought-after residential pockets, and it's easy to understand why. The neighborhood carries a quiet, established character — mature trees, winding streets, and the kind of neighbors who have been around long enough to know everyone's name. It sits in the southern half of Virginia Beach, well away from the tourist corridor but close to everything that makes the city worth living in. Outdoor recreation is woven into daily life here, with parks within a half-mile in multiple directions and golf just around the corner — the heron ridge golf club virginia beach va sits practically in the neighborhood's backyard. Commutes to both major military installations are short and largely highway-free, which matters enormously when you're working early shifts. The broader Virginia Beach community offers world-class beaches, a thriving restaurant scene, and a cost of living that still makes sense for military and civilian families alike. Ocean Lakes delivers neighborhood calm without sacrificing city convenience.
