Why this home stands out
Steeplechase Drive sits in a quiet, established pocket of the 23464 zip code where mature trees line the streets and the lots run generous for the era. At nearly 2,000 square feet, the layout gives you four real bedrooms and a dedicated half-bath on the main level — a combination that is harder to find in newer, more compact builds. The neighborhood has held its character for fifty years, and the bones here reflect that staying power.
DUNBARTON and the Virginia Beach real estate market
The streets around Steeplechase Drive have a settled, tree-canopied feel that comes only with time. Houses here were built in the 1970s, and the lots are wider and deeper than what you typically see in newer subdivisions. Sidewalks connect the blocks, and Dunbarton Park is just a few minutes on foot. This part of Virginia Beach sits inland, away from the tourist corridor, which keeps the pace of daily life calm and practical. The broader Kempsville area is one of the city's most established inland communities. It has a full range of services — grocery stores, medical offices, restaurants, and recreation centers — within a short drive. Virginia Beach itself stretches from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic, and the city's highway network makes it straightforward to reach any corner of Hampton Roads. Interstate 264 and the Virginia Beach Expressway connect this neighborhood to downtown Norfolk, the Oceanfront, and points west. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23464 will find that this zip code offers a strong mix of lot size, access, and neighborhood maturity.
