Why this home stands out
What sets 228 Convention Drive apart is the sheer amount of space it delivers — over 3,000 square feet in a four-bedroom, three-bath layout that gives every member of the household room to spread out. Homes of this size, built in an era when floor plans prioritized generous room dimensions over open-concept minimalism, are increasingly hard to find in this price corridor of Virginia Beach. The 1967 construction means solid bones and a mature lot.
POINT O VIEW and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Convention Drive sits in a well-established residential pocket of Virginia Beach — a city that consistently ranks among the most livable on the East Coast. This part of the 23462 zip code is characterized by mature tree canopies, wide lots, and the kind of quiet, settled-in feel that only comes with decades of owner-occupied homes. Neighbors here tend to put down roots. Virginia Beach itself stretches from the Atlantic shoreline inland through a diverse mix of neighborhoods, and this central-corridor location puts you within easy reach of the oceanfront, Town Center, and the interstate network that connects the entire Hampton Roads region. Daily errands are manageable without a long drive, and the surrounding streets have a genuine neighborhood rhythm — morning walkers, weekend yard work, the occasional block get-together. It is the kind of address that feels like a real community rather than just a location.
What's nearby
Everyday conveniences cluster close to Convention Drive. Grocery options, pharmacies, and casual dining are all within a short drive along Virginia Beach Boulevard and the surrounding commercial corridors. Town Center — Virginia Beach's walkable urban hub with restaurants, a movie theater, and weekend events — is roughly 10 minutes away. For outdoor time, the city's network of parks and the nearby Lake Trashmore area offer open space and recreation. The interstate access from this part of the 23462 zip code also makes reaching Norfolk, Chesapeake, or the oceanfront straightforward on most days.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is an 11-minute drive from the front door, and USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is only 13 minutes out — making 228 Convention Drive a genuinely convenient home base for service members at either installation. The four-bedroom layout handles PCS moves with a growing family, and Virginia Beach is one of the most VA loan-friendly markets in the country, with lenders and agents who work with military buyers every day.
For families upgrading
If you have outgrown your current space, 3,046 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths gives everyone — kids, guests, a home office, a hobby room — a dedicated place. The 1967 build era typically means larger individual rooms than newer construction of comparable square footage, so the layout tends to feel even more generous than the numbers suggest. Mature landscaping and an established neighborhood round out the picture.
