2608 Wilkes Dr, Virginia Beach, VA 23456

Why this home stands out

What sets 2608 Wilkes Drive apart is the combination of square footage and bedroom count that's genuinely hard to find at this scale in southern Virginia Beach. Four bedrooms and three full baths across 2,612 square feet means everyone gets breathing room — whether that's a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or space for a growing household. The 1997 build hits a sweet spot: substantial enough to have real bones, recent enough to avoid the quirks of older construction.

COURTHOUSE ESTATES and the Virginia Beach real estate market

The 23456 zip code sits in the southern reaches of Virginia Beach, where the city trades its oceanfront bustle for quieter residential streets and a more suburban rhythm. This part of Virginia Beach tends to attract households that want space — actual yards, actual square footage — without sacrificing access to the coast or the city's commercial corridors. Wilkes Drive itself reads like a classic late-1990s neighborhood street: established tree canopy, single-family homes with real setbacks, and the kind of low-traffic flow that makes evening walks feel easy. Virginia Beach as a whole is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and that scale works in your favor here — you're far enough from the resort strip to feel genuinely residential, yet close enough to reach the beach, Town Center, or the interstate without a major commitment.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from Wilkes Drive. Grocery options, pharmacies, and big-box retail cluster along the Nimmo Parkway and Holland Road corridors, both reachable in under ten minutes. Princess Anne Road connects you north toward the Kempsville area and south toward Chesapeake. For outdoor time, the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and First Landing State Park are both within reasonable driving distance, and the Virginia Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 20-minute drive east. Local coffee shops and casual dining dot the nearby retail centers, so weekday mornings and weekend lunches are well covered.
