What sets 717 Whistling Swan Drive apart is the combination of a manageable, well-proportioned floor plan and a location that quietly delivers on convenience.

DRIFTIDE CONDO and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Driftide Condo sits in the south-central corridor of Virginia Beach, a part of the city that trades oceanfront buzz for genuine livability. The streets here are calm, the lots are mature, and the community has the kind of settled, established feel that comes from nearly three decades of homeownership. If you've been doing a city of virginia beach property search and keep landing on this zip code, it's no accident — the 23464 area is a sweet spot for buyers who want city amenities without city chaos. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most populous cities on the East Coast, yet neighborhoods like this one feel far removed from the congestion. Parks, green space, and local businesses are woven into the fabric of the surrounding blocks, and the commute corridors to the region's major employers — military and civilian alike — are straightforward from here.
