Why this home stands out
Six bedrooms and 6,254 square feet give this 2011-built home a footprint that's genuinely rare in Virginia Beach. Three full baths and two half baths mean morning routines don't become a negotiation. The setting is equally distinctive — Blackwater Road places you in the quiet, wooded southern corridor of the city, where lots are generous, neighbors aren't on top of you, and the North Landing River watershed defines the landscape.
BLACKWATER and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Virginia Beach is one of the largest cities by land area in the entire United States, and its southern reaches — where Blackwater Road runs — feel like a different world from the oceanfront bustle most people picture. This is agricultural and conservation country: wide lots, mature trees, open sky, and a pace that rewards people who want genuine privacy without sacrificing city services. Working with a real estate agent virginia beach buyers trust means understanding that the city contains multitudes, and this corner is one of its best-kept secrets. The zip code 23457 sits at the southernmost tip of Virginia Beach, bordered by the Great Dismal Swamp corridor to the west and the North Landing River Natural Area Preserve to the east. It's a jurisdiction that values land stewardship, and the homes here reflect that — larger parcels, thoughtful setbacks, and a community identity rooted in the outdoors rather than density.
What's nearby
Step outside and Blackwater Field of Dreams is essentially at your doorstep — a community park that makes weekend afternoons easy. One mile down the road, North Landing River Natural Area Preserve opens up miles of protected wetlands, paddling routes, and wildlife habitat that most Virginia Beach residents don't even know exists. Beyond the immediate surroundings, the southern Virginia Beach corridor connects to Chesapeake via several routes, putting everyday errands within a reasonable drive. The trade-off for this level of quiet and space is intentional distance from urban conveniences — something buyers at this address typically see as a feature, not a compromise.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 25 minutes from 5409 Blackwater Road, and Dam Neck Annex sits about 28 minutes away — both manageable commutes from a home this size. Six bedrooms handle PCS moves with room to spare, whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest suite for visiting family, or space for a growing household. VA loan eligibility can make financing a property like this especially straightforward.
For families upgrading
If your current home has everyone tripping over each other, 6,254 square feet changes the math entirely. Six bedrooms means kids get their own rooms, guests have a dedicated space, and you still have flexibility left over. The rural southern Virginia Beach setting adds a backyard lifestyle that's hard to replicate closer to the city center — and for families searching for a house for sale in virginia beach with genuine breathing room, this address is worth a serious look.
Frequently asked questions
How far is 5409 Blackwater Road from USCG Finance Center Chesapeake?

How far is 5409 Blackwater Road from Dam Neck Annex?

What is the flood zone status for 5409 Blackwater Road?

Is there an HOA at 5409 Blackwater Road?
This property does not appear to carry a mandatory HOA, which is consistent with many rural-corridor parcels in the 23457 zip code — though confirming with a title search during contract is always recommended.
Where is 5409 Blackwater Road relative to the rest of Virginia Beach?
The address sits in the far southern tip of Virginia Beach near the North Carolina border, placing it in one of the city's most rural and spacious zip codes. It's a deliberate trade of urban proximity for land, privacy, and access to natural areas like the North Landing River Natural Area Preserve.

About buying in Virginia Beach
Homes for sale in Virginia Beach, VA span every price point and lifestyle — from oceanfront condos along the famous Boardwalk to sprawling waterfront estates on the Lynnhaven River and Linkhorn Bay. As the largest city in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach offers an unusually varied real estate market: established family neighborhoods in Great Neck (ZIP 23454), golf-course communities in Kempsville (23464), modern townhomes near Town Center (23462), and beach-cottage living along Sandbridge (23456). Whether you're searching for a starter home under $300K, a family home in a top-rated school district, or a luxury property north of $2 million, the active MLS inventory updates daily here. Buyer demand stays strong year-round, driven by Virginia Beach's mild coastal climate, the consistently top-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Kempsville High, Floyd E. Kellam High, Princess Anne High, and Cox High among them), and the city's role as home to Naval Air Station Oceana — the largest master jet base in the country. Military families relocating here through PCS orders make up a meaningful share of buyers, and VA loan financing is widely used. First-time buyers gravitate toward the inland ZIPs (23464, 23456, 23452), while second-home and luxury buyers tend toward 23451 (Oceanfront/North End) and 23454 (Great Neck/Bay Colony). Below you'll find every active Virginia Beach home for sale pulled live from the REIN MLS and refreshed every 5 minutes.
