Why this home stands out
Three thousand square feet in a 1970s Virginia Beach single-family home is a genuinely uncommon find — you get the room to spread out that newer, smaller footprints rarely deliver. The layout supports four true bedrooms plus the kind of common-area square footage that makes working from home, hosting family, or simply having breathing room feel effortless rather than aspirational.
FAIRFIELD and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Fairfield Boulevard sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Virginia Beach that grew up in the late 1960s and early 1970s — a time when builders were still putting real square footage on generous lots. The streets here have a settled, unhurried character: established landscaping, brick and vinyl facades, and neighbors who tend to stay. This part of Virginia Beach — zip code 23464 — sits inland from the resort strip, which means you trade the tourist traffic for calmer residential rhythms while still being thoroughly connected to everything the city offers. Virginia Beach itself is the most populous city in Virginia, and that scale works in your favor: you're never far from a major grocery corridor, a regional park, a healthcare campus, or a well-stocked hardware store. The city's road network fans out efficiently from this central-ish location, making commutes in multiple directions genuinely manageable rather than a daily negotiation.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from 5309 Fairfield Boulevard. Kempsville Road and Indian River Road are both close by, putting you within a short drive of grocery stores, pharmacies, and a solid range of casual dining. Chesapeake Square and the broader retail corridor along Battlefield Boulevard are reachable in under fifteen minutes. For outdoor time, the city's network of parks and trail connectors is accessible without a long haul. Virginia Beach's Oceanfront is roughly a twenty-five-minute drive east, and Norfolk's downtown dining and arts scene sits a similar distance to the northwest — giving you two distinct urban anchors to draw from on weekends.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about eleven minutes away, and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is roughly thirteen — both are straightforward, low-stress commutes. Four bedrooms and 3,002 square feet give a military household the flexibility to set up a dedicated home office, accommodate visiting family during PCS transitions, or simply give everyone their own space during a long tour. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than many families expect.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel like a size you've outgrown, 3,002 square feet across four bedrooms is the kind of jump that actually changes how you live day to day. There's room for a dedicated home office, a proper guest room, and still enough common space that everyone isn't on top of each other. The 1971 build means the bones are solid, and the established neighborhood means the block already has the mature-tree, quiet-street character that newer subdivisions spend decades growing into.
