Why this home stands out

Add a sub-10-minute commute to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and you have a location that genuinely earns its convenience reputation in Virginia Beach.
LAKE EDWARD NORTH and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Fanshaw CT sits in a quiet cul-de-sac pocket of Virginia Beach, one of the most populous and geographically diverse cities on the East Coast. This part of the city — roughly between Newtown Road and the Lake Edward greenway — has a lived-in, established feel. Streets are tree-lined, lots are generous for the era, and neighbors tend to stay a while. Virginia Beach blends coastal energy with suburban practicality: you're never far from the oceanfront, but daily life here is more about walkable errands and easy commutes than beach traffic. The city's road network puts you on I-264 or I-64 quickly, connecting you to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and the broader Hampton Roads region without much fuss. Parks thread through the neighborhood, and the Lake Edward area gives the whole stretch a natural, open character that newer developments rarely replicate.
