5563 Keydet Dr, Virginia Beach, VA 23462

Why this home stands out

What sets Keydet Drive apart is the trifecta of convenience: three grocery options within a half-mile, two neighborhood parks under a ten-minute walk, and a seven-minute drive to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story. For a 1983-built home in this zip code, the lot placement also gives you breathing room that newer, denser developments rarely match. It's the kind of address that earns its keep on ordinary Tuesdays, not just moving day.

CAMPUS EAST and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Keydet Drive sits in the 23462 zip code — a well-established slice of Virginia Beach that locals describe as genuinely livable without the premium price tag of the oceanfront corridors. The surrounding streets follow a quiet, residential rhythm: single-family homes on mature lots, sidewalks that actually get used, and green space woven into the fabric of the neighborhood through the Lake Edward park system. Virginia Beach as a city brings the full package — oceanfront recreation, a robust restaurant scene, and one of the largest municipal footprints on the East Coast — while this particular pocket keeps you close to the action without sitting in the middle of it. Families comparing Virginia Beach homes for sale often land in this zip because it threads the needle between accessibility and calm. The 23462 area connects easily to I-264 and I-64, putting downtown Norfolk, the Naval Station, and the Oceanfront all within a reasonable drive.
