Why this home stands out
What sets 5420 Princess Anne Road apart is its position along one of Virginia Beach's most connected arteries — Princess Anne Road threads through the heart of the city, putting you equidistant from the oceanfront, the Chesapeake Bay, and the region's employment hubs. The 1963 construction era means solid mid-century bones, and at 1,848 square feet across three bedrooms, the floor plan is sized right for real daily life without wasted space.
HUNTINGTON and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Princess Anne Road cuts a straight line through central Virginia Beach, and the stretch around 5420 places you in one of the city's most practical and well-connected pockets. The surrounding area is a mature, established residential landscape — think tree-lined streets, single-family homes from the 1960s through the 1980s, and neighbors who have been here long enough to know each other's names. You're not in a cookie-cutter subdivision, and that's a feature, not a bug. Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia, and this central location means you can reach the resort area beaches, Town Center, Kempsville, and the Lynnhaven corridor without committing to a long drive in any direction. Virginia Beach also carries a relatively low cost of living compared to peer coastal cities, which shows up in daily expenses, property taxes, and the general sense that your dollar goes further here. The city's park system, greenways, and recreation programs are well-funded, and the public infrastructure along Princess Anne Road itself is solid.

The 1963 construction means the home has already weathered decades of Virginia Beach weather — the big structural questions have been answered. Central Virginia Beach also gives first-time owners strong resale fundamentals if life takes a different turn down the road.
