Why this home stands out
Built in 1985 and sized generously at 1,700 square feet, this two-bedroom, two-bath condo offers more breathing room than most oceanfront-area units in its class. The fourth-floor position adds a layer of privacy and elevation that ground-level units simply can't match. For military households, the dual-base convenience — Dam Neck Annex in roughly six minutes and NAS Oceana in about seven — is genuinely hard to beat anywhere in Virginia Beach.
OCEAN WAY CONDOMINIUM and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Winston Salem Avenue sits in the southern end of the Virginia Beach Resort Area, right where the energy of the oceanfront meets a slightly quieter residential pace. You're within easy walking distance of the Atlantic, the boardwalk, and the full stretch of beach amenities, yet the immediate block feels more like a neighborhood than a tourist corridor. The surrounding area is a mix of condos, small cottages, and low-rise buildings that have defined this stretch of Virginia Beach since the mid-twentieth century. Rudee Inlet is close by, giving the neighborhood a nautical character — fishing boats, kayakers, and waterfront dining are part of the everyday backdrop. Virginia Beach as a city offers a rare combination: a major oceanfront destination with suburban infrastructure, a strong military presence, and genuinely diverse dining and recreation options spread across its sprawling geography. Living here means you're near the best of the coast without being in the thick of the busiest tourist blocks.
What's nearby
Daily errands and leisure are well covered from this address. Prise's Food Mart is 0.7 miles away for quick grocery runs, and Tienda Latina La Tapatia 2 is just a mile out for specialty Latin ingredients. When it's time to eat, Rudee's Restaurant and Cabana Bar, The Dock Grill, and Docktails VB are all within 0.2 miles — walkable waterfront dining on a weeknight is genuinely part of life here. Zeke's and Virginia Beach Coffee Co are both under a mile for your morning routine. Fitness options include TakeOver Athletics Shadowlawn, CoreStrength Center, and ReStormi Pilates, all within a mile. Marshview Park and Grommet Island Park offer green space and accessible recreation close by.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Dam Neck Annex is about six minutes away and NAS Oceana roughly seven — making this address one of the most commute-efficient spots in Virginia Beach for dual-base households. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the 1,700-square-foot floor plan gives military families genuine room to spread out rather than squeeze into a smaller coastal unit.
For first-time buyers
If your first purchase is going to be a condo, this one sets a high bar. At 1,700 square feet, you get the space of a townhome with the low-maintenance lifestyle of a condo community — no yard work, walkable dining, and the Virginia Beach oceanfront practically at your doorstep. A VA loan could make the numbers work better than you'd expect for a location this close to the water.
