Why this home stands out
Built in 2013, this home skips the quirks of older Virginia Beach stock — think tighter construction, updated systems, and a floor plan designed for how people actually live. You're in Lynnhaven, one of the city's most connected mid-Beach corridors, with three grocery stores, multiple parks, and two fitness studios all within a half-mile. The five-minute drive to NAS Oceana is genuinely hard to beat.
LYNNHAVEN and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Lynnhaven sits in the heart of Virginia Beach, roughly equidistant between the Oceanfront and the more suburban western reaches of the city. It's a well-established residential pocket that draws buyers who want real neighborhood texture — tree-lined streets, walkable parks, and a mix of longtime residents and newer families. If you've been searching for a house for sale virginia beach va that puts you close to everything without dropping you into a cookie-cutter master-planned community, Lynnhaven tends to check that box.

Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area in the United States, which means Lynnhaven's central position is genuinely valuable — you're never stuck in one corner of a sprawling metro.
