Why this home stands out
Built in 2023, this 3,500-square-foot residence delivers six bedrooms and four full baths in a part of Virginia Beach that rarely sees new construction at this scale. The combination of contemporary finishes, a flexible multi-room floor plan, and a location deep in the 23457 ZIP code — where the city gives way to marshland, waterways, and open sky — is genuinely hard to replicate anywhere else in Hampton Roads.
PUNGO and the Virginia Beach real estate market
The 23457 ZIP code covers the southernmost tip of Virginia Beach, a peninsula-like stretch bordered by Back Bay and the Currituck Sound. Life here feels intentionally removed from the city's busier corridors — traffic is light, neighbors are few, and the natural landscape does most of the talking. Morris Neck Road runs through this quiet corridor, connecting residents to the water-edged character that defines the area. Virginia Beach is the largest city by land area on the East Coast, and this corner of it feels like a well-kept secret: rural in atmosphere, yet still within the city limits. The surrounding land is a patchwork of conservation areas, wildlife refuges, and private waterfront parcels, which keeps density low and the scenery consistent. For buyers who want modern square footage without sacrificing that sense of open, unhurried space, this address sits at a rare intersection of both.
What's nearby
The False Cape State Park and Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge are practically at your doorstep, offering hiking, kayaking, and birding across thousands of protected acres. For everyday needs, Pungo Village — a small but beloved local hub — is a short drive north and home to the famous Pungo Strawberry Festival grounds, local farm stands, and a handful of casual dining spots. Grocery runs and broader retail are accessible via Princess Anne Road heading into the Courthouse and Sandbridge corridors. The Sandbridge Beach access points are also within comfortable reach, giving you a low-crowd alternative to the Oceanfront.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Dam Neck Annex sits roughly 27 minutes away, and NAS Oceana is about 30 minutes up the road — both well within a typical BAH-supported commute range. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the six-bedroom layout means there's room for a home office, a dedicated guest suite, or space for extended family without anyone feeling crowded. The 2023 build date also means lower maintenance overhead during a busy duty station rotation.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown your current home, six bedrooms and four full baths give every member of the household genuine breathing room. Built in 2023, the systems are current, the finishes are fresh, and the floor plan is flexible enough to grow with you. The surrounding area's low density means kids have space to roam, and the natural surroundings — Back Bay, wildlife refuges, open fields — make for an upbringing that's hard to put a price on.
