Why this home stands out
At 3,252 square feet, this 2000-built home gives you genuine room to spread out — four bedrooms, three full baths, and the kind of floor plan where everyone can carve out their own space without tripping over each other. The year-2000 construction hits a practical sweet spot: modern framing and systems without the premium price tag of brand-new builds, and enough time on the clock that the neighborhood itself has matured into something settled and real.
SANDBRIDGE SHORES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Wood Duck Drive sits in the southern reaches of Virginia Beach, the independent city that stretches from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean and ranks among the largest cities by land area in the entire country. This part of Virginia Beach — zip code 23456 — has a quieter, more suburban feel than the Oceanfront corridor, with wider lots, tree-lined streets, and a pace that rewards people who want proximity to the coast without the constant hum of resort traffic. The surrounding area is a mix of established single-family neighborhoods that came of age in the late 1990s and early 2000s, giving the streetscape a cohesive, lived-in character. Green space is woven throughout, and the flat terrain makes getting around by bike or on foot genuinely pleasant. You're deep enough into the city to feel removed from the tourist bustle, yet the full range of Virginia Beach amenities — beaches, parks, retail, and dining — is never more than a short drive away.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from Wood Duck Drive. Grocery options, pharmacies, and big-box retail cluster along the Nimmo Parkway and Princess Anne Road corridors within a few miles. For coffee, local cafés and national chains are both represented nearby. Princess Anne Park and the adjacent athletic complex give you open fields, trails, and recreational facilities close to home. The Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park are accessible to the south for anyone who wants serious outdoor space — hiking, kayaking, and wildlife watching without leaving Virginia Beach city limits. The Oceanfront boardwalk and Atlantic beach are roughly a twenty-minute drive east.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Dam Neck Annex is nine minutes from the front door — one of the shortest commutes you'll find for a four-bedroom home in this price tier of Virginia Beach. NAS Oceana sits sixteen minutes north, keeping dual-military households or those who work across both installations well within range. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than many buyers expect, and the 23456 zip code consistently draws strong BAH coverage for E-6 and above.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and three full baths across 3,252 square feet means the floor plan actually keeps pace as your household grows — dedicated guest space, room for a home office, and enough bathrooms that morning routines don't become a negotiation. The 2000 build year means you're getting solid construction with updated code standards, and the mature neighborhood means the chaos of active development is long behind you. There's a lot to like about upgrading into a home that already fits.
