Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms and four full baths in 2,350 square feet is a rare combination at this address — it means genuine flexibility for a growing household, a dedicated home office, or guests who actually have their own space. The 1966 build gives the home real bones and lot character that newer construction in Virginia Beach rarely matches, while Bow Creek Recreation Center sits just four-tenths of a mile away for daily fitness without a commute.
PRINCESS ANNE PLAZA and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Bow Creek is a well-established residential corridor in the western reaches of Virginia Beach, Virginia, sitting inside Virginia Beach city limits in the 23452 zip code. The area has a settled, mature feel — wide lots, established trees, and streets that were designed before the era of tight subdivision packing. Hannibal Street Neighborhood Arboretum is literally steps away at 0.2 miles, and Bow Creek Stormwater Park adds another green buffer just down the road. Residents here tend to appreciate that the neighborhood is genuinely livable year-round; even a virginia beach winter is mild enough that the parks and recreation center stay in regular rotation. Virginia Beach as a city brings the full package — oceanfront culture, a strong military economy anchored by NAS Oceana, and city services that punch above their weight for a municipality of this size. The Bow Creek stretch specifically sits close enough to the action without being in the middle of it, which is exactly the balance many buyers are looking for.

For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is a seven-minute drive from 3541 Bow Creek Blvd, and Dam Neck Annex is reachable in fourteen.

Bow Creek Recreation Center is a four-minute walk away, Lineberry Park is close behind, and the arboretum practically starts at the property line.
