Why this home stands out
At 2,976 square feet, 709 Oxbow Drive gives you genuine room to spread out — four bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath mean nobody is waiting in line in the morning. The 1977 construction puts it in an era of real wood framing and generous floor plans that newer tract builds often can't match. Add in a location that puts two Coast Guard bases within a quarter-hour drive, and this address checks a lot of practical boxes.
FAIRFIELD and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Oxbow Drive sits in the inland western section of Virginia Beach, a part of the city that tends to fly under the radar compared to the oceanfront buzz but rewards the people who actually live here. The streets are mature, the tree canopy is established, and the overall pace feels residential in the best sense — neighbors know each other, and the sidewalks actually get used. Virginia Beach as a whole is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, which means you get genuine variety: quiet suburban pockets like this one exist alongside thriving commercial corridors, waterfront parks, and a downtown that keeps growing. If you've been browsing open houses Virginia Beach has listed in this zip code, you've probably noticed that the 23464 area offers consistently larger lots and older-growth landscaping compared to newer developments closer to the water. That combination of space, maturity, and city-wide amenities is a big part of what draws people to this corner of Hampton Roads.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from Oxbow Drive. Grocery options, pharmacies, and big-box retailers are clustered along the nearby Virginia Beach Boulevard and Indian River Road corridors — typically a five-to-ten-minute drive. Kempsville Road puts you close to a range of casual dining and coffee spots. For outdoor time, the area has several parks and recreational facilities within a short drive, including options with walking trails and athletic fields. Getting to the Virginia Beach oceanfront takes roughly 25 minutes, and Norfolk's downtown waterfront is accessible in about 20. The interstate network nearby keeps the broader Hampton Roads region well within reach.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Coast Guard families will appreciate how cleanly this address fits into a Hampton Roads assignment. USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about ten minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly thirteen — both without the congestion that plagues routes closer to Naval Station Norfolk. A VA loan can make a home this size genuinely accessible, and four bedrooms give you the flexibility to set up a dedicated home office for remote duty work or PCS paperwork.
For families upgrading
If your current home has you tripping over each other, 2,976 square feet is a meaningful step up. Four bedrooms handle kids, guests, and a home office without compromise, and 3.1 baths means the morning routine doesn't become a negotiation. The established neighborhood also means you're moving into a community with character already in place — mature trees, settled streets, and neighbors who've been around long enough to actually know each other.
