Why this home stands out
What sets 500 Edwin Drive apart is its combination of genuine square footage — 2,214 feet is notably spacious for a three-bedroom home of this era — and a location that puts you within walking distance of groceries, gyms, and green space all at once. The 1967 build means solid construction with room to personalize, and the central Virginia Beach position keeps both NAS Oceana and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story within a short commute.
LARKSPUR and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Edwin Drive sits in the 23462 zip code, one of Virginia Beach's most central and practical corridors. The area has a settled, residential feel — streets lined with mid-century homes that have been updated over the decades, mature trees, and a mix of long-time owners and families planting new roots. Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area in the United States, and this part of it sits comfortably inland, away from the tourist bustle of the oceanfront but still within easy reach of the beach, the boardwalk, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. You're close to major arteries — Virginia Beach Boulevard and I-264 — without living on them, which means access without noise. Among homes for sale in Virginia Beach, addresses in 23462 tend to attract buyers who want space, convenience, and a genuine neighborhood feel rather than a resort-adjacent lifestyle.
