Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a single-family home is rarer than buyers expect, and 3985 Ava Way delivers that headcount without sacrificing layout. The 2,730-square-foot floor plan gives every member of the household breathing room — whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or simply a bedroom that doesn't double as a storage closet. Built in 2012, the home sits in a sweet spot: modern enough for current building standards, seasoned enough to have settled in.
VILLAGE BEND and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Virginia Beach is one of those cities that surprises people who only know it by its summer reputation. Yes, the oceanfront draws crowds from Memorial Day through Labor Day — but the city has a full-time personality that holds up year-round. If you're curious about things to do at VA Beach in winter, the answer is more than you'd expect: First Landing State Park stays open for hiking and kayaking, the Virginia Aquarium runs year-round programming, the Boardwalk is genuinely peaceful in the off-season, and the restaurant scene doesn't hibernate. The area around Ava Way sits in the southwestern zip code of 23456, a quieter residential pocket well away from the tourist corridor. Streets here are lined with homes built in the 2000s and 2010s, giving the area a cohesive, well-maintained feel. Virginia Beach is an independent city in Hampton Roads, meaning it handles its own services — and at roughly 497 square miles, it's one of the largest cities by land area in the country.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy from Ava Way. Lynnhaven Mall and the retail corridor along Holland Road put groceries, pharmacies, and a wide range of dining within a short drive. The Landstown Commons shopping center is close by for big-box needs. Green space is accessible too — First Landing State Park is a reasonable drive north, and Mount Trashmore Park offers trails, a lake, and open fields closer to home. For coffee runs, several local and chain options sit within a few miles. The Princess Anne area of Virginia Beach is also nearby, adding farmers markets and community events to the mix on a seasonal basis.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is 12 minutes away, and USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is 13 — which means both partners in a dual-military household could realistically work from the same address. Five bedrooms handle PCS moves with kids, visiting family, or the inevitable home-office need. A VA loan is worth running the numbers on for eligible buyers; the math on a home this size often surprises people.
For families upgrading
If your current home has everyone sharing walls and fighting for bathroom time, 3985 Ava Way is worth a serious look. Five bedrooms and three full baths across 2,730 square feet means the household can actually spread out. The Ridgely Manor VA Beach area offers the kind of suburban stability that families tend to stay in — good bones, established neighbors, and room to grow without relocating again in three years.
