Why this home stands out
What sets 5616 Larry Ave apart is that quarter-acre lot — a genuinely rare find at this square footage in Virginia Beach. You get a four-bedroom layout with room to spread out inside, and a backyard large enough to actually use. The 1954 construction era means classic proportions and sturdy build quality, while the surrounding Fair Meadows neighborhood keeps things quiet and residential without sacrificing convenience.
FAIR MEADOWS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Fair Meadows sits in the heart of Virginia Beach — one of those established mid-century neighborhoods that has aged gracefully. Streets here are lined with mature trees, and the lots run larger than what you'd find in newer subdivisions built to tighter density standards. The neighborhood has a settled, unhurried feel: neighbors know each other, and the pace reflects that. If you're searching for a house for sale Virginia Beach buyers often overlook in favor of flashier coastal zip codes, Fair Meadows rewards a closer look. It sits in Virginia Beach proper, which means you're under Virginia Beach City jurisdiction — solid city services, well-maintained roads, and easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro. Kempsville Road and Virginia Beach Boulevard are both close, giving you quick routes north toward the Oceanfront, west toward Chesapeake, or east toward the base corridor. It's the kind of neighborhood that feels like a real place rather than a development.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from Larry Ave. Moldova Food is just 0.4 miles away for grocery runs, and a Wawa sits 0.2 miles out for coffee and quick stops. Fast food options — Wendy's, McDonald's, and Domino's Pizza — are all within a tenth of a mile when you need something quick. Southside Barbell is 0.4 miles away if you prefer a no-frills strength gym, and Pink Pearl Gymnastics and Gymstrada Gymnastics are both under a mile for younger athletes. Newsome Farm Park is 0.9 miles out and offers open green space for weekend afternoons. The combination of walkable food, fitness, and park access makes the immediate area more functional than the zip code might suggest.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is roughly 10 minutes from the front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth is about 13 minutes out — both well within the range most military families target. A VA loan pairs naturally with a property like this: four bedrooms, a large lot, and a price point that typically aligns with BAH rates for the Hampton Roads area. It's a practical, comfortable fit for an active-duty household.
For first-time buyers
Four bedrooms and a quarter-acre lot at 1,400 square feet is a combination that's hard to find without stretching your budget. The 1954 build gives you a home with real character and solid construction, and Fair Meadows is the kind of established neighborhood where values tend to hold steady. If you're buying your first home in Virginia Beach, this address gives you room to grow without overcommitting on square footage.

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).
