Why this home stands out
What makes 5159 Westerly Drive stand out is the combination of generous square footage — 2,321 square feet across four bedrooms and four full baths — and a location that genuinely earns the word convenient. Three grocery stores sit within half a mile, two military installations are reachable in under 20 minutes, and a walkable strip of dining and fitness options lines the immediate neighborhood. That's a rare everyday-errand trifecta in this price corridor.
INDIAN LAKES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Kempsville is one of Virginia Beach's most established inland communities, and Westerly Drive sits comfortably in its core. The area took shape in the 1970s, and that era left behind mature tree canopies, wider lots, and a neighborhood rhythm that feels settled rather than rushed. Kempsville Road and Princess Anne Road form the commercial backbone nearby, giving residents fast access to everything from big-box retailers to locally owned spots without ever getting on the interstate. Virginia Beach as a whole stretches from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline to the Atlantic oceanfront, but Kempsville occupies the city's geographic center — which means you're equidistant from the beach, the bay, and the employment corridors that run toward Norfolk and Chesapeake. City services here fall under Virginia Beach jurisdiction, and the broader community has a strong civic identity built around parks, recreation centers, and a deep military-connected population that keeps the neighborhood diverse and active year-round.
What's nearby
Daily errands practically take care of themselves from Westerly Drive. Enson Market, ALDI, and Harris Teeter are all within 0.4 miles — having three grocery options that close is genuinely unusual. For a quick meal out, Park Lane Tavern of VB Kempsville, KFC, and IHOP are each about 0.2 miles away. Grab a morning drink at Tropical Smoothie Cafe or Tealux Cafe Virginia Beach, both within 0.3 miles. Fitness is covered by Higher Vision Studios, Natural Bodyz Fitness 24/7 Kempsville, and Jess Yoga, all within 0.4 miles. When you want fresh air, New Light Neighborhood Park and Chatham Hall Park are 0.7 miles out, with Whitehurst Grove Park just a bit farther at 0.8 miles.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about nine minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is reachable in roughly 15. That puts two major installations within easy commuting range — a real advantage when duty schedules are unpredictable. A VA loan can stretch the value of four bedrooms and four baths considerably, and the Kempsville area has long been a go-to for military households who want space without a long drive to the gate.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and four full baths in 2,321 square feet gives a growing household real breathing room — everyone gets their own space without the usual bathroom bottleneck. The 1974 construction means solid bones and established lot sizes that newer subdivisions rarely match. Add three grocery stores within half a mile and multiple parks under a mile away, and the daily logistics of family life get noticeably easier.
