403 55th St, Virginia Beach, VA 23451

Why this home stands out

What sets 403 55th Street apart is its combination of mid-century bones and a location that puts you inside one of Virginia Beach's most livable coastal pockets. Three full bathrooms across 2,019 square feet gives everyone breathing room, and the 1950 build era means solid construction on a lot with real character. You're four-tenths of a mile from the beach and surrounded by independent restaurants and parks — not a chain-heavy corridor.

NORTH END VA. BEACH and the Virginia Beach real estate market

The 55th Street block sits in the northern stretch of the Virginia Beach oceanfront area, where the energy of the resort strip gives way to a quieter, more residential feel without losing any of the coastal access. Streets here are lined with a mix of mid-century cottages and updated homes, and neighbors tend to know each other. The area draws a mix of long-time Virginia Beach residents and military families rotating through NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex, which gives it a grounded, community-forward character. Virginia Beach itself is the largest city in the Commonwealth by land area, with a coastline that runs for miles and a city infrastructure built to support it — parks, trails, a thriving restaurant scene, and one of the most active military communities on the East Coast. Families comparing homes for sale in Virginia Beach often zero in on this zip code specifically because of how much daily life you can handle on foot or by bike.
