Why this home stands out
New construction in an established coastal neighborhood is genuinely rare, and 417 Terrace Ave delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, this 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath home gives you modern finishes, a fresh mechanical baseline, and a location that walkable waterfront neighborhoods in Virginia Beach rarely offer — all within a half-mile of parks, restaurants, and the inlet.
SHADOWLAWN HEIGHTS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Shadowlawn Heights sits in the southern stretch of Virginia Beach, tucked between the Linkhorn Bay inlet and the broader resort corridor. It's a low-key, water-adjacent neighborhood where the streets are quiet but the lifestyle is anything but. Docktails VB, The Dock Grill, and Big Sam's Inlet Cafe & Raw Bar are all within a tenth of a mile — the kind of proximity that turns a Tuesday evening into something worth remembering. Grommet Island Park and The Jetty are a short walk away, giving the neighborhood a genuinely outdoor, on-the-water character. For anyone browsing homes for sale virginia beach va, Shadowlawn Heights stands out because it offers that coastal-Virginia-Beach energy without the density of the resort strip. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast — a military-friendly, family-oriented community with a strong job market, no state income tax on military pay, and year-round access to the water.
