5104 S Lake Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23455

Why this home stands out

What sets 5104 S Lake Rd apart is the combination of serious square footage — nearly 2,900 square feet across three bedrooms and three and a half baths — and a location that puts one of Hampton Roads' busiest military installations literally around the corner. Homes of this size, built with the solid bones of late-1950s construction, are increasingly rare in this pocket of Virginia Beach. Add walkable daily errands and lake access less than a mile away, and the address earns its own category.

LAKE SHORES and the Virginia Beach real estate market

S Lake Rd sits in a quiet residential stretch of Virginia Beach near the Chic's Beach and Bayside corridor — an area that blends the laid-back energy of coastal living with the practical infrastructure of a well-established city neighborhood. Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia and one of the most livable in the mid-Atlantic, offering miles of oceanfront, a thriving restaurant scene, and a strong military community that gives the city its character. This part of the city, close to Lake Smith and the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, tends to attract buyers who want space and calm without sacrificing convenience. Among virginia beach homes, properties in this zip code hold a particular appeal: you're close enough to the oceanfront to feel it, but removed enough to avoid the seasonal congestion. The neighborhood has a genuine, unpretentious feel — long-time residents, mature trees, and streets that actually see foot traffic.
