Why this home stands out
What sets 2228 Starfish Road apart is the sheer scale relative to its coastal surroundings. Five bedrooms and four full baths across 3,600 square feet is genuinely hard to find this close to the water in Virginia Beach. Homes of this footprint in the area tend to be newer construction and priced accordingly — this one carries the bones of a 1960s build, which means established lot character, mature landscaping potential, and a neighborhood that already knows who it is.
LYNNHAVEN COLONY and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Starfish Road sits in one of Virginia Beach's most sought-after coastal corridors — close enough to the ocean that the salt air is real, but far enough from the resort strip that daily life stays calm and residential. The surrounding streets have a classic mid-century feel, with larger lots and homes that were built to last rather than to flip. Virginia Beach as a city offers an unusually wide range of lifestyle options: you're within reach of the Oceanfront boardwalk, Chesapeake Bay beaches, First Landing State Park, and a dense network of bike trails. If you've been searching for open houses virginia beach to get a feel for what this market looks like at this price point and proximity to the coast, Starfish Road is exactly the kind of address worth putting on your list. The city's infrastructure is mature, the community is deeply rooted, and the coastal access here is genuinely part of everyday life — not just a weekend amenity.
What's nearby
Everyday errands are well within reach from 2228 Starfish Road. Grocery options, pharmacies, and casual dining are all accessible within a short drive along Shore Drive and the surrounding commercial corridors. First Landing State Park — one of the most visited state parks in Virginia — is practically a neighbor, offering hiking trails, kayak launches, and bay-side camping just minutes away. The Lesner Bridge area provides waterfront dining and quick access to both the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Coffee shops and local restaurants along Shore Drive round out the daily routine without requiring a long commute.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is a nine-minute drive from the front door, and NAS Oceana is thirteen minutes out — making 2228 Starfish Road one of the better-positioned addresses in Virginia Beach for dual-base households. Five bedrooms gives growing military families real room to breathe, and a VA loan can make a home of this size more accessible than many buyers expect. The location holds value across multiple assignment cycles.
For families upgrading
If your current home has run out of room, 2228 Starfish Road answers the question. Five bedrooms and four full baths across 3,600 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and you still have room left over for a home office, a guest suite, or whatever the next chapter requires. The coastal Virginia Beach location adds a quality-of-life dimension that newer suburban developments simply can't replicate.

About buying in Virginia Beach
Homes for sale in Virginia Beach, VA span every price point and lifestyle — from oceanfront condos along the famous Boardwalk to sprawling waterfront estates on the Lynnhaven River and Linkhorn Bay. As the largest city in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach offers an unusually varied real estate market: established family neighborhoods in Great Neck (ZIP 23454), golf-course communities in Kempsville (23464), modern townhomes near Town Center (23462), and beach-cottage living along Sandbridge (23456). Whether you're searching for a starter home under $300K, a family home in a top-rated school district, or a luxury property north of $2 million, the active MLS inventory updates daily here. Buyer demand stays strong year-round, driven by Virginia Beach's mild coastal climate, the consistently top-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Kempsville High, Floyd E.

Military families relocating here through PCS orders make up a meaningful share of buyers, and VA loan financing is widely used. First-time buyers gravitate toward the inland ZIPs (23464, 23456, 23452), while second-home and luxury buyers tend toward 23451 (Oceanfront/North End) and 23454 (Great Neck/Bay Colony).
