Why this home stands out
What sets 557 Englehard Drive apart is its rare combination of compact, low-maintenance living and genuinely convenient access to two major military installations. At 1,416 square feet, the layout doesn't waste a single room, and the 1992 construction means solid bones without the quirks of older stock. Two full baths plus a half bath is a meaningful upgrade over comparable square footages in this price tier, and the surrounding neighborhood keeps daily errands short.
KEMPSVILLE GREENS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
557 Englehard Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Virginia Beach — a city that earns its reputation year-round, not just in summer. If you've ever wondered what va beach in winter actually looks like for residents, the answer is uncrowded roads, shorter lines at local spots, and a neighborhood that feels genuinely lived-in rather than seasonal. Virginia Beach covers a vast geography, and this address lands in the inland corridor near the Kempsville and Windsor Woods areas — away from the tourist strip, close to the things that matter for everyday life. The surrounding streets are a mix of established single-family homes and townhome communities from the late 1980s and early 1990s, giving the area a mature, settled character. Tree canopy is decent, sidewalks are present, and the general pace is relaxed without feeling remote. Virginia Beach City jurisdiction means access to city services, and the location puts you within reach of both the oceanfront and the western suburbs without being fully committed to either.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from Englehard Drive. E Mart and Festive Foods are both under a mile for grocery runs, and a BP station sits just 0.5 miles out for quick fill-ups. When you want coffee before work, Project Seed Coffee and a Starbucks Coffee Company are both within 0.6 miles — solid options for different moods. Hungry after a long day? YENDIDI VIRGINIA BEACH and a Subway are each about 0.4 miles away. For fitness, you've got three options within 0.7 miles: My Personal Gym, Inc., VBA Fitness, and Katalyst Krav Maga. Lark Downs Park rounds things out at 0.8 miles — a nearby green space for morning walks or weekend downtime.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is 12 minutes from the front door, and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is only 13 minutes in the other direction — a genuinely rare dual-base location that works well for households where assignments can shift. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath layout gives a growing military family real room to breathe without overextending on square footage.
For first-time buyers
At 1,416 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, 557 Englehard Drive offers a manageable footprint that doesn't feel cramped. For a first purchase, that balance matters — enough space to live comfortably, not so much that maintenance becomes overwhelming. The 1992 build year means the major systems have history but aren't ancient, and the walkable access to groceries, coffee, and parks makes the day-to-day feel easy from the start.

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.
