Why this home stands out
What sets 1904 Genesee Way apart is its position inside Salem Lakes — a well-established neighborhood with a genuine sense of community and green space woven right into the fabric of daily life. Salem Lakes Park is just 0.2 miles away, the street itself has a settled, mature feel, and you're close enough to NAS Oceana and the Virginia Beach corridor to make commuting genuinely painless. That combination of calm and convenience is harder to find than it sounds.
SALEM LAKES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Salem Lakes is one of those Virginia Beach neighborhoods that rewards the people who discover it. Developed through the 1980s, it has the kind of tree-lined, established character that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. Streets are walkable, neighbors tend to stay, and the overall pace feels residential in the best sense — quiet without being remote. If you're searching for sale virginia beach options that offer real neighborhood roots rather than a brand-new subdivision feel, Salem Lakes consistently earns a second look. The broader Princess Anne area of Virginia Beach surrounds you with parks, trails, and a mix of local and national retail that keeps daily life low-effort. Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area in the country, which means you get genuine suburban breathing room while still being connected to the oceanfront, the Town Center business district, and major employment corridors. Salem Lakes sits comfortably in that sweet spot.
