Why this home stands out
What separates 2245 Wake Forest Street from most new construction homes in Virginia Beach is the combination of scale and location. Five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms give large or growing households genuine breathing room, while a 2025 build date means everything from the systems to the finishes is factory-fresh. Add a walkable beach-access street, a park literally around the corner, and two major military installations within fifteen minutes, and the picture comes together fast.
CAPE STORY BY THE SEA and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Wake Forest Street sits in the northern reaches of Virginia Beach, in a low-key coastal corridor that locals know but visitors often overlook. The area has a laid-back, beach-town energy without the heavy foot traffic of the Oceanfront resort strip — think quiet streets lined with a mix of established homes and newer builds, all within a short walk of the Atlantic. Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area in the country, yet this corner of it feels genuinely neighborhood-scaled. The city offers a robust parks system, a thriving dining and arts scene, and some of the most accessible waterfront living on the East Coast. For anyone searching new homes in Virginia Beach, the northern beach corridor is a sweet spot: close to nature, close to bases, and close to everyday conveniences — without sacrificing the sense of community that makes a neighborhood feel like home.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is an eleven-minute drive, and NAS Oceana is thirteen minutes out — making 2245 Wake Forest Street a practical choice for active-duty households at either installation. A VA loan pairs naturally with a 2025 build: no deferred maintenance, no repair negotiations, just a clean transaction on a home that's ready from day one. Five bedrooms handle PCS moves with room to spare.
For families upgrading
If your current home has outgrown your household, 3,091 square feet across five bedrooms and four and a half baths gives everyone their own space — and then some. New construction homes in Virginia Beach at this size and in a walkable beach-access neighborhood are genuinely rare. Cape Story Park is around the corner, the beach is a four-minute walk, and the 2025 build means you're not inheriting anyone else's deferred decisions.
