VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

449 Discovery Road is a spacious 4-bedroom, 4.1-bath home in Virginia Beach offering over 4,000 square feet of living space, steps from First Landing State Park and the Atlantic shore — a rare combination of size, nature, and coastal convenience built for real daily life.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 449 Discovery Road apart is the sheer scale — 4,023 square feet on a property that puts you literally 0.1 miles from First Landing State Park's trailheads and shoreline. Homes this large this close to the water and the park are genuinely uncommon in Virginia Beach. Add four full baths plus a half, and you have the flexibility to host, spread out, or simply breathe. This is coastal living with room to actually live.

PRINCESS ANNE HILLS and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Discovery Road sits in one of Virginia Beach's most quietly coveted pockets — a low-traffic stretch where the park edge meets established residential streets. The area has the feel of a retreat without the isolation: you're minutes from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, surrounded by mature trees, and connected to the broader Virginia Beach grid without fighting through resort-strip congestion. Virginia Beach itself is the largest city in Virginia by land area, and this corner of it punches well above its weight for outdoor access. The neighborhood draws people who want real nature — kayakers, trail runners, cyclists — alongside the everyday conveniences of a major coastal city. It's a grounded, outdoor-oriented community where neighbors tend to stay a long time, and the proximity to both the bay and the ocean keeps the lifestyle genuinely active year-round.

What's nearby

Step outside and First Landing State Park is essentially your backyard — the main entrance is 0.1 miles away, and the best trailhead in the park is just 0.4 miles out. Surf Beach Club is a half-mile stroll. When you're ready to eat, Session at the A.R.E. Café is 0.2 miles away and Surf Club Ocean Grille is 0.5 miles out — both walkable. AREOM Studio, a local gym, is also just 0.2 miles from the front door. Daily life here is genuinely walkable for the things that matter most: trails, food, fitness, and the water.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NAS Oceana is roughly 10 minutes from 449 Discovery Road, and Dam Neck Annex is about 13 minutes out — both commutes are among the shortest you'll find in Virginia Beach for a home this size. A VA loan can make a property like this more accessible than you might expect, and the four full baths mean everyone in the family has breathing room, whether you're hosting visiting family or managing a busy morning routine.

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms and 4,023 square feet give a growing family genuine room to grow into — not just survive in. The half-bath keeps common spaces functional, and the four full baths mean mornings don't have to be a negotiation. First Landing State Park at 0.1 miles is essentially a permanent backyard for kids who need space to run, explore, and get outside without a car ride.
