Why this home stands out
What sets 5113 Hemlock Ave apart is its rare combination of generous square footage for a late-1960s build and an almost walkable daily routine. Two grocery stores sit within 0.6 miles, three restaurants are under a half-mile away, and a yoga studio is just 0.2 miles down the road. For a four-bedroom home in this price band of Virginia Beach, that kind of immediate convenience is genuinely hard to find.
KEMPSVILLE COLONY and the Virginia Beach real estate market
5113 Hemlock Ave sits in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach — one of the city's most established inland neighborhoods, where mature tree canopies line quiet residential streets and a true sense of community has been built over decades. The surrounding area blends suburban calm with practical accessibility: you're close to major corridors without feeling like you're living on one. Virginia Beach itself offers far more than summer beach days — if you've ever wondered about things to do at va beach in winter, you'll find First Landing State Park hikes, the Virginia Aquarium, Oceanfront dining, and local arts events that keep the city lively year-round. Back in the neighborhood, Kempsville Recreation Center anchors local activity, Lark Downs Park and Kempes Landing Park give you green space within walking distance, and the broader Kempsville community has the kind of long-established character that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. Virginia Beach's city services, road infrastructure, and proximity to multiple military installations make this zip code a consistent draw for families and professionals alike.
