Why this home stands out
What sets 2305 Purple Martin Lane apart is the combination of a compact, low-maintenance lot in a water-adjacent community and an address that genuinely earns the word convenient. Three full baths plus a half bath across 1,781 square feet means nobody is waiting in line in the morning. Built in 1985, the home carries the solid bones of that era while sitting inside a neighborhood that has aged gracefully along the Lynnhaven Bay corridor.
AERIES ON THE BAY and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Tree-lined streets, a nearby pocket park, and easy access to Bayville Farms give the area genuine outdoor personality. When people search virginia beach condos in this price band, Aeries on the Bay comes up because it delivers a real neighborhood experience — not just a unit in a building. Virginia Beach itself adds the infrastructure: a robust road network, a strong military economy, and a coastline that makes weekend plans easy. The Bayside area in particular tends to hold its character well, with long-term owner-occupants who take pride in the streetscape.
