928 Hurds Road sits on 1.23 acres in Virginia Beach's Little Neck Cove subdivision — a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath single-family home built in 2014 that manages to feel genuinely spacious without the cookie-cutter sameness you find in tighter planned communities. The acreage is the headline here: over an acre of land inside Virginia Beach city limits is a rarer thing than most buyers expect.
The surrounding area blends established residential streets with pockets of mature greenery that give the neighborhood a settled, unhurried feel. It's not a new-construction master plan where every driveway is equidistant from the next — this is the kind of address where neighbors have been around long enough to actually know each other. The 1.23-acre lot at 928 Hurds Road is on the larger end even for this area, which gives the property a sense of privacy and breathing room that's hard to replicate at smaller lot sizes.
Living in Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia, and it operates more like a collection of distinct submarkets than a single unified real estate market. The spread between oceanfront luxury and inland starter neighborhoods is genuinely wide — wide enough that two buyers both searching "Virginia Beach" on a listing site can end up looking at completely different worlds. The 23452 zip code sits comfortably in the middle of that range: established, well-connected, and priced for buyers who are serious without being extravagant.
The city's property tax rate lands in the middle of the Hampton Roads pack — not the lowest in the region, but not Norfolk or Chesapeake either. For buyers weighing homes for sale in Virginia Beach against neighboring cities, the decision usually comes down to three things: commute to work or base, access to the beach, and the specific neighborhood character you're after. This part of Virginia Beach checks the commute box convincingly, and the beach is close enough to be a genuine lifestyle amenity rather than a once-a-summer expedition. VA loan-eligible buyers will find that va loan homes virginia beach is a well-worn phrase for good reason — the inventory here is deep, lenders are familiar with the process, and the military community's presence has shaped the market in ways that make the transaction smoother than in some other cities.
What's Nearby
The immediate surroundings of 928 Hurds Road are notably walkable for a low-density neighborhood. Middle Plantation / Bishop's Gate Neighborhood Park is less than half a mile away — close enough to be a genuine daily-use amenity rather than a destination you drive to on weekends. Witt Park and Brill Field are both within about eight-tenths of a mile, which means there's real green space in multiple directions without needing to load anyone into a car. For a 1.23-acre lot that already has outdoor space built in, having three separate parks within easy reach is a meaningful quality-of-life detail.
Raised & Braised, a local restaurant, sits less than a mile away — roughly a three-minute walk if you're inclined, a two-minute drive if you're not. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that makes a difference in daily life: close enough to be convenient, far enough that you're not hearing it from your backyard. Music In Motion Dance Studio is in the same general radius, which is useful context for families with kids in extracurricular activities.
The broader Virginia Beach retail and dining infrastructure is easily accessible from this address. The corridor along Virginia Beach Boulevard and the surrounding commercial areas put grocery stores, urgent care, hardware stores, and the full range of suburban conveniences within a short drive. The location threads a needle that's genuinely useful: quiet enough at the address level to feel residential, connected enough at the neighborhood level to avoid the isolation that sometimes comes with larger lots.
Commuting to NAS Oceana — and BAH Rates Virginia Beach
NAS Oceana is approximately 3.8 miles from 928 Hurds Road — about eight minutes in normal traffic, which in Hampton Roads terms qualifies as an exceptionally short commute. Naval Air Station Oceana is the Navy's master jet base on the East Coast, home to multiple strike fighter squadrons and a substantial permanent party population. For active-duty personnel stationed there, this address essentially eliminates the commute as a daily stressor, which is not a small thing when you're working shift schedules or early brief times.
The conversation around bah rates virginia beach comes up early and often for military families evaluating this market. Virginia Beach's BAH rates for E-5 and above with dependents have historically been competitive enough to make renting or buying in the mid-range of the market workable without significant out-of-pocket housing costs. For a four-bedroom home at this square footage, the math is worth running carefully — but the structure of the benefit generally aligns reasonably well with what the 23452 market asks.
Homes near NAS Oceana tend to move reliably in both directions: the buyer pool is deep because the base generates consistent demand, and sellers benefit from that predictability. For a family PCSing in, the eight-minute drive means one spouse's commute is essentially solved from day one. For military housing virginia beach seekers who want to own rather than rent, a no-HOA property on over an acre near Oceana is a combination that doesn't come up constantly — it's worth noting when it does.
A Walk Through the Property
Built in 2014, 928 Hurds Road sits in that comfortable post-recession construction window where building standards had tightened, energy codes had improved, and the worst of the boom-era shortcuts were behind the industry. At 2,584 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths, the floor plan has room to breathe without crossing into the territory where you're heating and cooling space you never use. The half-bath configuration is practical for a home that sees regular foot traffic — guests don't need access to a full bathroom to have a functional visit.
The 1.23-acre lot is the structural fact that shapes everything else about living here. It means there's room for a future pool, a detached garage, a workshop, a garden, or simply a lot of grass and trees between you and the next property line. The absence of an HOA means those decisions are yours to make on your own timeline. The property type is single-family residential, which combined with the lot size places it in a category that's increasingly scarce inside Virginia Beach's developed footprint. The year-built puts it solidly in the modern era for mechanical systems, insulation, and construction tolerances — buyers who've dealt with 1970s wiring or 1980s HVAC know why that matters.
A Day in the Life at 928 Hurds Road
The rhythm of daily life from this address has a particular quality: you're genuinely close to things without feeling like you're on top of them. A morning run can loop through two or three nearby parks without retracing steps. A quick dinner out means a short walk to a local restaurant rather than a 20-minute drive to a strip mall. If someone in the household is stationed at Oceana, the commute is short enough that the workday doesn't colonize the morning before it starts.
Weekends have range. The Virginia Beach oceanfront is close enough for a spontaneous afternoon trip. The broader Hampton Roads region — Norfolk's Ghent neighborhood, Chesapeake's Great Bridge area, the Virginia Beach Town Center — is accessible without committing to a major expedition. The 1.23 acres at home means there's also a legitimate argument for staying put, firing up the grill, and letting the yard do the work.

**For military families considering this address.** The eight-minute drive to NAS Oceana is the number that matters most. For a family pcs to virginia beach, eliminating commute uncertainty from the equation early is genuinely valuable — it means one variable in a complicated relocation is simply solved. The no-HOA structure also matters for military buyers: PCS timelines don't always align with HOA approval processes, and having one fewer bureaucratic layer in a transaction is a real advantage. Military relocation virginia beach buyers who want acreage, modern construction, and a short base commute in a single package should put this address on a short list.
**For Hampton Roads families upgrading from a starter home.** The jump from a 1,400-square-foot townhome to 2,584 square feet on 1.23 acres is the kind of upgrade that changes how a household actually functions — not just in square footage, but in how much of daily life can happen at home. The 2014 build year means you're not inheriting deferred maintenance from a previous generation of owners. The no-HOA status means the upgrade comes without a new monthly obligation layered on top of the mortgage.
**For first-time buyers exploring Virginia Beach.** The 23452 zip code is a reasonable entry point into Virginia Beach ownership for buyers who want a single-family home with real land rather than a townhome or condo. The modern construction date reduces early repair risk, and the proximity to Oceana means the resale pool stays active regardless of broader market conditions. First-time buyers using VA loan benefits will find this part of the market well-suited to that financing structure.
**For buyers comparing newer construction homes in Virginia Beach.** A 2014 build on over an acre without HOA restrictions is a different animal than the new-construction master plans that have defined much of Virginia Beach's recent growth. You get the mechanical and construction advantages of modern building without the density, the fees, or the architectural uniformity. For buyers who've toured newer subdivisions and found them a little too managed, 928 Hurds Road offers a version of modern construction that doesn't come with a rulebook.
