Why this home stands out
Four thousand square feet in a 1948-built Virginia Beach home is a genuinely rare combination. Properties of this era tend to run smaller, so the scale here — five bedrooms, three full baths, a half bath, and room to spread out — stands apart from the typical mid-century footprint. Add in the location, close to the beach corridor and two military bases, and this address checks boxes that are hard to find stacked together.
NORTH END VA. BEACH and the Virginia Beach real estate market
The 55th Street corridor sits in the northern stretch of Virginia Beach, in that comfortable zone between the lively energy of the Oceanfront resort district and the quieter residential streets that define the city's interior. This part of Virginia Beach has a lived-in, established character — mature trees, a mix of original mid-century homes and renovated properties, and neighbors who tend to stay put for years. You're close enough to the beach to feel it in the air, but far enough from the tourist strip to enjoy genuine neighborhood calm. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most populous cities in Virginia and consistently ranks among the best places to live on the East Coast, with a coastline that doubles as a lifestyle amenity. The city's public infrastructure — parks, recreation centers, and road networks — is well developed, and the overall quality of life here draws both long-term residents and military families rotating through the region.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from 55th Street. The Oceanfront boardwalk and beach access are just a short drive or even a bike ride away, making weekend mornings genuinely enjoyable. Grocery options, pharmacies, and everyday retail are clustered along nearby corridors, so errands don't require a long haul. The Town Center of Virginia Beach, with its restaurants, shops, and entertainment, is reachable in under 20 minutes. For dining closer to home, the Shore Drive and Laskin Road corridors offer a solid mix of local spots and familiar names. Parks and green space are woven throughout the area, giving the neighborhood a relaxed, outdoor-friendly feel year-round.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is roughly 10 minutes away, and Dam Neck Annex is about 12 — making 401 55th Street a practical choice for active-duty households who want a short commute without sacrificing space or location. Five bedrooms means room for a home office, a guest room, or a growing family. A VA loan can make a home of this size more accessible than many buyers expect.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown your current home, 4,000 square feet gives you real room to breathe. Five bedrooms means everyone gets their own space — and then some. The established neighborhood has a settled, community feel that's hard to manufacture in newer developments, and the proximity to the beach adds a quality-of-life dimension that's genuinely hard to put a number on.

About buying in Virginia Beach
Homes for sale in Virginia Beach, VA span every price point and lifestyle — from oceanfront condos along the famous Boardwalk to sprawling waterfront estates on the Lynnhaven River and Linkhorn Bay. As the largest city in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach offers an unusually varied real estate market: established family neighborhoods in Great Neck (ZIP 23454), golf-course communities in Kempsville (23464), modern townhomes near Town Center (23462), and beach-cottage living along Sandbridge (23456). Whether you're searching for a starter home under $300K, a family home in a top-rated school district, or a luxury property north of $2 million, the active MLS inventory updates daily here. Buyer demand stays strong year-round, driven by Virginia Beach's mild coastal climate, the consistently top-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Kempsville High, Floyd E. Kellam High, Princess Anne High, and Cox High among them), and the city's role as home to Naval Air Station Oceana — the largest master jet base in the country. Military families relocating here through PCS orders make up a meaningful share of buyers, and VA loan financing is widely used. First-time buyers gravitate toward the inland ZIPs (23464, 23456, 23452), while second-home and luxury buyers tend toward 23451 (Oceanfront/North End) and 23454 (Great Neck/Bay Colony).
