4617 Twain Ln, Virginia Beach, VA 23455

Why this home stands out

Lake Smith Terrace is one of those established Virginia Beach neighborhoods where the lots are generous, the trees are mature, and the streets feel genuinely lived-in. A 1964 build means real structural bones — think solid construction from an era before builder-grade shortcuts became the norm. Add a location that puts three grocery stores, a Starbucks, and multiple parks all within a half-mile radius, and daily errands practically run themselves.

LAKE SMITH TERRACE and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Lake Smith Terrace sits in the Haygood corridor of Virginia Beach — a part of the city that gets overlooked in favor of the oceanfront buzz but rewards the people who actually live here. The neighborhood has the feel of a place that's been around long enough to have real character: wide lots, established landscaping, and neighbors who've put down roots. Virginia Beach itself is a city of distinct pockets, and this one leans practical and connected rather than tourist-facing. While you'll find plenty of coverage about virginia beach condos in the newer resort-area developments, Lake Smith Terrace offers something different — detached single-family living with elbow room and a strong sense of place. Haygood Road gives you quick access to the rest of the city, and Interstate 64 is close enough to make commutes to Norfolk or Chesapeake genuinely manageable. The broader area mixes long-time residents with newer arrivals, giving it an easy, unpretentious energy.

Haygood Point Park is a half-mile out, with Romney Lane Park and Pembroke Meadows Neighborhood Park both under a mile.
