Why this home stands out
What sets 5228 Andover Road apart is the combination of recent construction and genuine room to grow. Five bedrooms in a home built just a few years ago means you're getting contemporary finishes, current building codes, and energy-efficient systems — without the compromises that come with older inventory. Three and a half baths across 2,500 square feet means nobody's waiting in line on a school morning.
ACREDALE ESTATES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Andover Road sits in the southern reaches of Virginia Beach, a city that consistently ranks among the most livable in the Mid-Atlantic. This part of Virginia Beach — zip code 23464 — is a quieter, established residential pocket that trades the oceanfront buzz for wider lots, lower traffic, and a genuine neighborhood feel. Streets here are lined with single-family homes spanning several decades of construction, giving the area a layered, lived-in character rather than the cookie-cutter sameness of a brand-new master-planned community. You're far enough from the resort strip to feel removed from tourist season, yet close enough to the Oceanfront, Town Center, and the broader Hampton Roads metro to access everything those areas offer. Commuter routes including I-264 and Indian River Road keep you connected north toward Norfolk and south toward Chesapeake without much friction. Daily errands, dining, and recreation are all within a short drive, making this corner of Virginia Beach a practical and comfortable place to put down roots.
What's nearby
Everyday conveniences cluster tightly around Andover Road. Grocery runs are quick — multiple supermarket options sit within a few miles. Kempsville Road and Indian River Road both serve as commercial corridors with pharmacies, fast-casual dining, and service businesses. For green space, Kempsville Recreation Center and several neighborhood parks are close by. Lake Smith and the surrounding natural area offer walking trails and waterside scenery a short drive away. When you want something more urban, Virginia Beach Town Center is roughly fifteen minutes north and brings restaurants, a movie theater, and weekend events to the mix.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about nine minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a fourteen-minute drive — making 5228 Andover Road a genuinely practical choice for military households juggling dual assignments or PCS logistics. Five bedrooms give you the flexibility to host family during a move or set up a dedicated home office. A VA loan can make the financing side straightforward; it's worth a conversation with a VA-savvy lender before you start your search.
For families upgrading
If your current home has outgrown your family, five bedrooms and three and a half baths built in 2019 is a meaningful step up. You're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance — the mechanicals, roof, and systems are all relatively young. There's room for everyone to have their own space, and the southern Virginia Beach location keeps school commutes, weekend activities, and grocery runs all within a manageable radius.
