Our read on this home

At a glance

701 Crystal Lane is a 5,210-square-foot, five-bedroom home in Virginia Beach built in 2005, sitting less than a mile from Bay Colony Park and just nine minutes from NAS Oceana. Big square footage, a half-dozen dining options within a short walk, and easy base access make this address hard to overlook.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms and four and a half baths spread across 5,210 square feet gives everyone room to spread out — whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or a playroom that actually stays contained. Built in 2005, the home hits a sweet spot between modern construction standards and an established neighborhood feel. The lot on Crystal Lane offers a quieter residential pace while keeping you genuinely close to the Virginia Beach coastline and the amenities that come with it.

BAY COLONY and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Crystal Lane sits in the northern reaches of Virginia Beach, in a pocket of the city that feels residential without feeling remote. The surrounding streets are lined with substantial homes, mature landscaping, and the kind of low-traffic character that makes evening walks and weekend bike rides easy habits to build. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast — and not just in summer. Year-round, residents here tap into a full calendar of things to do at VA Beach in winter, from off-season dining along the Oceanfront to local festivals, indoor markets, and uncrowded state park trails. The city stretches from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline to the Atlantic, giving you genuine geographic variety within a single zip code. Bay Colony Park is just 0.2 miles away, adding a green anchor to daily life. Whether you're drawn here for the military community, the coastal lifestyle, or simply the square footage that Virginia Beach's price point makes possible, Crystal Lane delivers a strong foundation.

What's nearby

Day-to-day life around 701 Crystal Lane is well-supported. Bay Colony Park is a two-minute walk at 0.2 miles, and Buff's Garden adds another green space option at 0.6 miles. Surf Beach Club is under a mile away for outdoor recreation closer to the water. When it's time to eat, Surf Club Ocean Grille, Becca Restaurant & Garden, and Hunt Room are all within 0.8 miles — a walkable dinner rotation that most neighborhoods can't match. We Scream Ice Cream and Coffee Shop handles the casual coffee run at 0.8 miles, and a 7-Eleven rounds out quick-stop convenience at 0.9 miles.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NAS Oceana is nine minutes away, and Dam Neck Annex is twelve — two of Hampton Roads' most active installations within a short commute from Crystal Lane. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than many buyers expect, and the five-bedroom layout handles PCS moves, extended family visits, and the inevitable home-office setup without anyone feeling squeezed.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've been searching the Ridgely Manor VA Beach area for something with genuine scale — five bedrooms, over 5,000 square feet, and proximity to the coast — 701 Crystal Lane is worth a close look. Homes of this size in established Virginia Beach neighborhoods don't turn over constantly, and the 2005 construction means you're getting modern bones alongside a neighborhood that already has its identity fully formed.
