Why this home stands out

The layout gives you options that smaller homes simply can't.
BALLYLINN SHORES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
3517 Byrn Brae Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach — one of the most livable cities in Hampton Roads and a perennial draw for military families, long-term residents, and anyone who wants suburban comfort without sacrificing access to the broader metro. Virginia Beach covers a lot of ground, and this corner of the city — near the Indian River corridor — has a well-established, mature feel. Streets are lined with full-grown trees, lots are generously sized by regional standards, and neighbors tend to stay put. You're far enough from the resort strip to avoid tourist traffic, but close enough to the oceanfront that a beach day is never a major production. City services are strong, the road network fans out in every direction, and you have quick access to both Interstate 264 and Indian River Road, making commutes across Hampton Roads manageable from day one.

For a quick bite, Pancakes N Things, Irwin's Fountain, and AMF Indian River Lanes are all under a mile away. Day-to-day errands stay close too, with a 7-Eleven within 0.8 miles for those grab-and-go mornings.
