Why this home stands out
The scale here is hard to find in this price range of Virginia Beach: 4,500 square feet, five true bedrooms, four full baths plus a half bath, all on a third-of-an-acre lot in an established 2005-built community. LAGOMAR sits tucked between Back Bay and the Atlantic corridor, giving you a quieter, more spacious feel than the resort strip while keeping two major military installations within a short commute.
LAGOMAR and the Virginia Beach real estate market
LAGOMAR is one of Virginia Beach's more distinctive residential pockets — a planned community in the southern end of the city where the lots run larger, the streets feel calmer, and the natural surroundings of Back Bay are genuinely close. Homes here were largely built in the early-to-mid 2000s, so you get a consistent architectural character: traditional two-story designs, attached garages, and mature landscaping that's had time to fill in. The neighborhood has no commercial clutter on its edges — it's residential through and through, which is part of the appeal. If you're doing a virginia beach property search and filtering for space, privacy, and proximity to the military corridor without the density of the Oceanfront or Town Center, LAGOMAR tends to surface near the top. Virginia Beach as a city wraps this community in a strong infrastructure of parks, trails, and easy highway access, and the southern location means you're well-positioned for both the base commute and weekend escapes toward the Outer Banks or the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
What's nearby
Lago Mar Park at Back Bay is only 0.4 miles from the front door — a genuine neighborhood gem for morning walks, kayak launches, and wildlife watching along the Back Bay shoreline. Sawyer Lake Estates Park is another green space just 0.7 miles out, adding more room to roam. When you want something easy for dinner, Lago Mar Pizza is under a mile away and a neighborhood staple. The broader Nimmo Parkway and Princess Anne Road corridors give you access to grocery stores, pharmacies, and everyday retail within a short drive, keeping daily errands efficient without requiring a long haul into busier parts of the city.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Dam Neck Annex is a five-minute drive from 2280 Rio Rancho Drive, and NAS Oceana is roughly ten minutes out — two of the region's most active installations within easy reach. Five bedrooms give you room for a home office or flex space alongside family quarters, and VA loan eligibility makes a home at this square footage more accessible than many buyers expect. BAH rates for Virginia Beach support a strong purchase case at this size.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel tight, 4,500 square feet across five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths is the kind of space where everyone gets room to breathe. The 0.37-acre lot means a real backyard — space for a playset, a garden, or just grass to run on. The LAGOMAR community has a settled, established feel, and Lago Mar Park at Back Bay is less than half a mile away for after-school afternoons outdoors.
