Why this home stands out
With 2,638 square feet spread across four bedrooms and three full baths, 628 Ben Bow Drive gives you room to spread out without sacrificing location. The 1975 build means solid construction with the kind of lot sizes that newer subdivisions rarely offer. Two Coast Guard installations are each within 13 minutes, and three parks sit within a half-mile walk — a combination that's genuinely hard to find at this scale in Virginia Beach.
FAIRFIELD and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Ben Bow Drive sits in the heart of Virginia Beach's inland residential fabric — a part of the city where quiet streets, mature tree canopy, and walkable green space define the daily rhythm. This corner of Virginia Beach has grown steadily over the decades into a well-established community where neighbors know each other and parks are a short stroll away. If you've been searching real estate va beach style — meaning practical, livable, and connected — this neighborhood checks the boxes. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most populous cities on the East Coast, stretching from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean and home to a diverse mix of military families, long-time residents, and newcomers drawn by the coastal lifestyle. Inland neighborhoods like this one offer a calmer pace while keeping you within easy reach of the oceanfront, major retail corridors, and multiple military installations. The surrounding streets feel established and grounded, with sidewalks, mature landscaping, and a genuine sense of community that newer developments are still working to build.

And for outdoor time, Fairfield Park is just 0.2 miles away, with Fairfield Forest and Carolanne Park rounding out the green space within a short walk.
