PRINCESS ANNE PLAZA and the Virginia Beach real estate market
453 Turf Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach, a city of roughly 460,000 people that stretches from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. This part of Virginia Beach — inland from the oceanfront, west of Oceana Boulevard — has a settled, neighborhood feel that developed steadily through the 1960s and 1970s. Streets here are lined with single-family homes on modest lots, and the pace is noticeably calmer than the resort strip while still putting you within reach of everything the city offers. Virginia Beach is home to one of the largest naval air stations on the East Coast, which shapes the culture and economy of the surrounding area in meaningful ways. Parks, retail corridors, and community green space are woven throughout this part of the city, and the drive to the oceanfront is under twenty minutes on a normal day.
