Why this home stands out
What sets 1893 Monument Drive apart is its rare combination of interior square footage and location efficiency. At just under 2,000 square feet with four bedrooms and two and a half baths, the floor plan gives everyone room to spread out without wasting space. City View Park sits just 0.2 miles away, groceries and dining are under a mile in every direction, and two military installations are reachable in under 15 minutes — a combination that's genuinely hard to find in Virginia Beach.
ALEXANDRIA and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Monument Drive sits in the Kempsville corridor of Virginia Beach — one of the city's most established and centrally positioned areas. This part of Virginia Beach has been a steady residential anchor since the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the surrounding streets filled in with solidly built single-family homes on manageable lots. The feel here is unpretentious and neighborly: mature trees, sidewalks, and a mix of long-time residents and newer families who discovered that Kempsville's central location is tough to beat. You're not on the Oceanfront, but you're not far from anything that matters, either. Virginia Beach's major corridors — Independence Boulevard, Kempsville Road, and Princess Anne Road — are all within easy reach, which means commutes in almost any direction stay reasonable. The city itself continues to invest in parks and green space throughout this area, and City View Park right around the corner is a direct reflection of that.

Sonic Drive-In rounds out the quick-service options nearby. For fitness, VB KidFit, The Iron Asylum Gym in Kempsville, and Anytime Fitness are all within a mile. And for outdoor time, City View Park and Centerville Park are both close enough to visit on a weekday evening without planning ahead.
