Why this home stands out
Exmore is one of the Eastern Shore's most walkable small towns, and Peaceful Lakes Drive puts you right in the mix — close to local shops, the town center, and the kind of quiet that's genuinely hard to find closer to the water. A 1995 build means the bones are solid without the quirks of an older home, and at 1,507 square feet across three bedrooms and two baths, the layout works for a wide range of households.
SILVER BEACH and the Exmore real estate market
Exmore sits near the center of Virginia's Eastern Shore, a 70-mile peninsula tucked between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It's a small town in the best sense — a real Main Street, locally owned restaurants and shops, and neighbors who actually wave. The town has seen steady reinvestment over the past decade, with new businesses filling in alongside longtime institutions, and the overall vibe is unhurried without feeling forgotten. Northampton County governs this stretch of the Shore, and Exmore functions as one of its more active commercial hubs. From Peaceful Lakes Drive, you're a short drive from the bay side and not far from the barrier islands and wildlife refuges that make the Eastern Shore a destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel connects the peninsula to Virginia Beach and the broader Hampton Roads metro — about an hour south — making Exmore a genuine alternative for buyers who want space, community, and access without the density. Life here moves at its own speed, and most people who land here say that's exactly the point.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are manageable from Peaceful Lakes Drive. Exmore's town center is just minutes away with grocery options, a pharmacy, and local dining. The Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge is a short drive south, and Kiptopeke State Park offers bay-front trails, camping, and fishing not far beyond that. Chincoteague and Assateague Island are reachable in under an hour north. For a larger shopping run, Salisbury, Maryland is roughly 90 minutes up the peninsula. The Cape Charles historic district — with its beach, boutiques, and waterfront — is about 20 minutes south and worth the trip on any given weekend.
For different buyers
For first-time buyers
If you're buying your first home, Exmore offers something genuinely rare — a real community at a scale that doesn't overwhelm. Three bedrooms and two baths give you room to grow, and a 1995 build means you're starting with a structurally sound home rather than a project. The Eastern Shore lifestyle — outdoor access, low traffic, tight-knit neighbors — is a strong backdrop for putting down roots.
For buyers drawn to character
The Eastern Shore has a character all its own, and Peaceful Lakes Drive reflects that. This isn't a subdivision that could be anywhere — it's a home on a peninsula with a distinct identity, surrounded by wildlife refuges, working watermen culture, and landscapes that genuinely look different from the rest of Virginia. If you're drawn to places with a sense of place, Exmore delivers that in full.
