Why this home stands out
Raw land this close to two active military installations and the Virginia Beach oceanfront corridor is genuinely uncommon. At .659 Old Virginia Beach Rd, you're working with a blank canvas in a location that already has walkable dining, fitness, and green space within a half-mile. Whether you're envisioning a custom home, an investment build, or a long-term hold, the infrastructure around you is already in place.
BIRDNECK ACRES and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Old Virginia Beach Rd runs through one of the city's most accessible inland corridors — close enough to the resort strip to feel the energy, far enough back to keep things grounded. This stretch of Virginia Beach sits between the Birdneck area and the broader Princess Anne corridor, a zone that's seen steady attention from builders and buyers who want proximity without the oceanfront price premium. The surrounding blocks are a working mix of single-family homes, small commercial nodes, and community green space, giving the area a lived-in, practical character. Virginia Beach as a whole is the most populous city in the commonwealth, and this part of it benefits from the city's robust road network, strong military presence, and year-round economy anchored by tourism, defense, and healthcare. Birdneck Road and General Booth Boulevard are both within easy reach, connecting you to the rest of the city in minutes.
