Why this home stands out
New construction in Cape Story by the Sea is genuinely rare, and 2245 Wake Forest St is the real deal — a five-bedroom, 4.1-bath home built in 2025 with over 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Cape Story Park is literally at your doorstep, two separate public beach access points sit within two-tenths of a mile, and the Atlantic Ocean is woven into everyday life here in a way most Virginia Beach addresses simply can't match.
CAPE STORY BY THE SEA and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Cape Story by the Sea occupies the northern tip of the Virginia Beach oceanfront, tucked between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in a way that gives the neighborhood a genuine end-of-the-road character — quiet, unhurried, and deeply connected to the water. Streets here are lined with a mix of established beach cottages and newer builds, and the community carries a laid-back coastal identity that sets it apart from the busier resort strip to the south. When people searching for homes for sale in Virginia Beach stumble onto Cape Story, many stop looking. The neighborhood feeds directly into First Landing State Park trails, the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, and the Atlantic beach, so outdoor recreation isn't something you plan — it's just Tuesday. Virginia Beach as a city backs all of this up with strong infrastructure, a robust restaurant and retail scene, and one of the most stable housing markets on the East Coast.
What's nearby
Daily life at 2245 Wake Forest St is genuinely easy. A Food Lion is just 0.3 miles away for quick grocery runs, and a bp station sits under a mile out for last-minute needs. When you're ready to eat, Hot Tuna, Tides Coastal Kitchen, and Surf Rider Grill are all within half a mile — solid options whether it's a casual lunch or a proper dinner out. Grab a morning smoothie at Tropical Smoothie Cafe or swing through Dunkin', both under a mile away. For fitness, Studio Bamboo Institute of Yoga, TakeOver Athletics First Landing, and Libellula Pilates are all within 0.6 miles. And Cape Story Park? That's right outside your door.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is an eleven-minute drive from 2245 Wake Forest St, and NAS Oceana is thirteen minutes out — two of Hampton Roads' most active installations within easy reach.
