Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a single-family home is a rarity that opens real options — a dedicated home office, a guest suite, a playroom, or all three at once. At 3,064 square feet, 3217 Marengo Drive gives everyone room to spread out without the cramped compromises that come with smaller floorplans. Built in 2000, the home hits a sweet spot between modern construction standards and an established neighborhood feel.
COURTHOUSE ESTATES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Marengo Drive sits in the southern reaches of Virginia Beach, a city that consistently ranks among the most livable on the East Coast. This part of Virginia Beach — zip code 23456 — is a quieter, residential pocket well removed from the resort strip's bustle, yet still connected to everything the city offers. Streets here tend to be lined with homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s, giving the area a cohesive, established character. Neighbors are a mix of military families, longtime locals, and professionals drawn by the manageable commutes and the general sense of calm that defines this corridor. You're close enough to the Oceanfront for a weekend afternoon but far enough that daily life moves at a slower, more deliberate pace. Parks, retail, and dining are all within a short drive, and the broader Virginia Beach road network makes getting anywhere in Hampton Roads straightforward.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from Marengo Drive. A Walmart Supercenter and several grocery options are within a few miles, and the retail corridor along Princess Anne Road covers most routine needs without a long drive. For coffee, local cafés and national chains are both close by. Stumpy Lake Natural Area is a short trip away for hiking and kayaking, and First Landing State Park is reachable in under 30 minutes for longer outdoor adventures. The Virginia Beach Town Center, with its restaurants and entertainment, is roughly 20 minutes north.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is 14 minutes away and Dam Neck Annex is 15 — both well within the range that makes daily base commutes manageable on any shift schedule. Five bedrooms give your household flexibility through PCS cycles: space for a home office during remote-duty stretches, a guest room for family visiting during deployments, and room to grow without an immediate move. A VA loan can make this size of home more accessible than many buyers expect.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown a three- or four-bedroom home, 3217 Marengo Drive offers the breathing room that growing households actually need. Five bedrooms and three full baths mean mornings aren't a logistical puzzle, and 3,064 square feet gives everyone — kids, guests, and the adults who need a quiet corner — a place of their own. Built in 2000, the home is young enough to avoid the maintenance surprises that come with older construction.
