Why this home stands out
Land parcels along Princess Anne Road don't come up often, and this address sits in a stretch of Virginia Beach that still carries a rural character while staying connected to the city's southern corridor. You're eight minutes from Dam Neck Annex, nine from NAS Oceana, and within a short drive of established neighborhoods, dining, and green space. For anyone weighing Virginia Beach homes for sale that offer room to build, farm, or simply hold, this address checks a box most listings can't.
ALL OTHERS AREA 44 and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Princess Anne Road is one of Virginia Beach's oldest corridors, threading through the city's agricultural heartland in the southern half of the 23456 zip code. The area around 2293 feels genuinely open — you're not hemmed in by subdivision walls or dense commercial strips. Instead, you get a mix of working land, scattered residential properties, and the kind of breathing room that's rare this close to an oceanside metro. Virginia Beach itself is the largest city in Virginia by land area, and this southern stretch is a big reason why. The city's agricultural reserve program has intentionally preserved thousands of acres nearby, which means the rural feel here isn't a temporary accident — it's a policy-protected feature of the landscape. City services, utilities infrastructure, and major road access are all within reach, making this corridor practical as well as scenic.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands and meals are closer than the rural setting might suggest. TASTE, a local grocery and café, is just 0.8 miles away for both a quick coffee and a grocery run. China Sun Restaurant is 0.4 miles out when you want a fast, familiar dinner. Taqueria La Patrona and Sedona Taphouse are both 0.7 miles away for tacos or a craft beer after a long day. Pinup Coffee Co Cafe at Sherwood, also 0.7 miles, is a neighborhood favorite for morning coffee. For outdoor time, Southgate West Park is 0.4 miles away, with Three Oaks Neighborhood Park and Southgate Park both under a mile. Flo Thai Boxing is 0.3 miles for anyone who wants a gym close to home.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Dam Neck Annex is eight minutes away and NAS Oceana is nine — both well within the commute range that matters when you're weighing a VA loan purchase against base housing. A land parcel here gives a military family the option to build to their own spec rather than inherit someone else's floor plan. Families comparing homes for sale in 23456 with room to grow will find this address hard to replicate at either installation.
