Why this home stands out
Six bedrooms and four and a half baths in a single-family home is genuinely uncommon, and 4908 Farrington Drive delivers that scale in a city where oversized floor plans are hard to come by. Built in 1956, the home carries the solid construction hallmarks of mid-century residential building — generous room proportions, established lot, and a layout that can flex to fit extended families, dedicated home-office needs, or simply a household that values breathing room.
LAKEVIEW PARK and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Farrington Drive sits in a residential pocket of northern Virginia Beach, close to the Chesapeake Bay shoreline and the broad network of parks and waterways that define this part of the city. The surrounding streets have a settled, established character — mature trees, generous lots, and neighbors who have often been around for years. It's the kind of area where you can take a morning walk without much traffic and still be minutes from every convenience you need. Virginia Beach as a whole gives residents something genuinely rare: oceanfront recreation, a strong military community, and a city large enough to support world-class dining, shopping, and healthcare — all without the density of a major metro. The northern end of the city, where Farrington Drive lives, tends to feel a bit more relaxed than the Resort Area corridor, with quick access to Shore Drive, the bay beaches, and the green spaces that line the water. For households that want suburban calm with urban reach, this corner of Virginia Beach consistently delivers.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Farrington Drive. Shore Drive runs nearby and connects you quickly to grocery options, pharmacies, and casual dining. The First Landing State Park — one of Virginia's most visited state parks — is just a short drive away and offers hiking trails, kayak launches, and bay beach access. Lynnhaven Mall and the retail corridor along Virginia Beach Boulevard are reachable in under fifteen minutes. For coffee runs, several independent and chain cafes line the Shore Drive and Great Neck Road corridors. NAS Oceana and its surrounding commercial strip add another layer of everyday convenience to the southeast.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Four minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story makes 4908 Farrington Drive one of the closest large single-family homes to the base you'll find in Virginia Beach. Six bedrooms means there's room for everyone — kids, a home office, visiting family, or a dedicated guest suite. NAS Oceana is sixteen minutes out, so dual-military households have real flexibility. VA loan eligibility makes a home at this scale more accessible than many buyers expect.
For families upgrading
If your current home has you playing Tetris with bedrooms, 4908 Farrington Drive is the answer. Six bedrooms and four and a half baths across 3,384 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and you still have room left over. The 1956 construction gives the home a solidity and lot size that newer builds in this price range rarely match, and the northern Virginia Beach location puts parks, the bay, and daily conveniences well within reach.
