Why this home stands out
What sets 500 Edwin Drive apart is the combination of genuine mid-century bones and a location that quietly over-delivers. You're within a short drive of two major military installations, yet the street itself feels removed from the bustle. At nearly 1,914 square feet across a single level, the floor plan offers real breathing room for a three-bedroom home of its era — and the surrounding Virginia Beach corridor keeps daily errands genuinely effortless.
LARKSPUR and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Virginia Beach is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast, and the area surrounding 500 Edwin Drive sits in a sweet spot of it — established, convenient, and unpretentious. This part of Virginia Beach developed steadily through the 1960s and 1970s, producing neighborhoods of solid ranch homes on generous lots, with mature trees lining the streets. The city itself stretches from the Atlantic oceanfront to the rural agricultural west, but this central corridor puts you close to everything without the resort-area traffic. City services are well-established, the road network connects quickly to I-264 and Virginia Beach Boulevard, and the broader community has a settled, neighbor-knows-neighbor feel that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. Whether you're drawn to the beach, the parks, or the proximity to the region's military installations, this address places you within reach of it all.
