Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is sheer square footage for a two-bedroom layout — 2,576 square feet gives you room to breathe, host, and spread out in ways most comparably sized units simply can't match. Built in 1985, the property carries the kind of established bones that newer construction rarely delivers, all tucked into one of Virginia Beach's most coveted coastal corridors right along Shore Drive.
OCEAN PARK and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Ocean Park sits along the northern edge of Virginia Beach where Shore Drive hugs the waterline between Chesapeake Bay and Pleasure House Point. It's a neighborhood with real personality — a mix of long-time locals, active-duty families, and buyers who discovered the area and never looked back. The streets feel unhurried, the water is never far from view, and the community has a genuine sense of place that's hard to manufacture. When people searching for homes for sale in Virginia Beach stumble onto Ocean Park, many stop looking. The broader Virginia Beach context matters too: you're in a city of roughly 450,000 people with a coastline, a thriving food scene, and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state. Lynnhaven Road and Independence Boulevard are both within easy reach for everyday errands, and the resort strip at the Oceanfront is about 20 minutes south when you want it.
What's nearby
Step outside and the neighborhood delivers immediately. American Brew is essentially at your doorstep for a morning coffee, and within two-tenths of a mile you've got Jose Tequilas Cocina Mexicana, Froggie's, and Bucketheads Beach Grill for everything from a casual lunch to a proper dinner out. Loch Haven Park is a quarter-mile walk, and Pleasure House Point Natural Area — one of the best preserved open spaces on the Chesapeake Bay shoreline — is just four-tenths of a mile away. The Cape Henry Trail Beach Trailhead is reachable in under a mile. For fitness, Pleasure House Point Yoga & Wellness, Sculpt Sweat, and Energy In Motion are all within a mile, so skipping leg day has no geographic excuse.
