Why this home stands out
What sets 5136 Hemlock Ave apart is its combination of generous square footage — over 2,100 square feet — and a location that puts everyday conveniences practically at your doorstep. Four bedrooms give you real flexibility, whether that means dedicated home-office space, a guest room, or room for a growing household. The half-bath adds that practical touch that larger families genuinely appreciate on a daily basis.
KEMPSVILLE COLONY and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Hemlock Ave sits in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach, one of the city's most established and centrally located districts. Streets here are lined with mature trees and homes that have real history to them — this is a neighborhood that was built to last. Kempsville's central position means you're never far from anything, whether you need a quick errand run or a night out. Virginia Beach during winter is notably mild compared to most of the country, and Kempsville's inland position means you get the best of that — comfortable temperatures without the coastal wind chill. The broader Virginia Beach community here is tight-knit, with parks, recreation centers, and local businesses woven into the fabric of daily life. You're in Virginia Beach city limits, giving you access to all the municipal services and amenities the city offers while living in a quieter, residential pocket far from the tourist strip.
