Why this home stands out
What makes 2272 Tanglewood Trail stand out is the combination of generous square footage — 2,454 feet spread across four bedrooms — and a location that keeps daily life genuinely low-effort. Three parks sit within a half-mile, two grocery stores are under a mile away, and NAS Oceana is a seven-minute drive. For a 1978-era home, the bones and lot size give you real room to put your stamp on things.
COLONIAL OAKS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Tanglewood Trail sits in a quiet, established residential pocket of Virginia Beach — the kind of neighborhood where mature trees line the streets and neighbors tend to stick around for years. The surrounding area has that comfortable, lived-in character that newer subdivisions rarely manage to replicate. Streets are walkable, lots are generous, and the overall pace feels unhurried without being remote. Virginia Beach itself gives you the best of both worlds: a coastal city with serious outdoor recreation, a thriving restaurant and arts scene along the Oceanfront, and a military community that keeps the economy stable. The city's parks system is excellent, and you're never far from the water — whether that's the Atlantic, the Chesapeake Bay, or the inland waterways that thread through the region. It's a place people genuinely choose to stay, and the Tanglewood area reflects that settled, community-minded energy well.
