Why this home stands out
What sets 712 Lord Dunmore Drive apart is its position in a mature, established pocket of Virginia Beach where daily errands are genuinely walkable and green space is steps away. Fairfield Park sits just 0.2 miles from the front door, two Food Lion locations are within half a mile, and a full lineup of coffee shops and quick-service dining clusters nearby — a combination that's harder to find than it looks among Virginia Beach homes for sale.
FAIRFIELD and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Lord Dunmore Drive sits in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach — one of the city's most centrally located districts, with easy access to both the interstate network and the city's commercial corridors. The surrounding streets are lined with single-family homes from the late 1970s through mid-1980s, giving the area a settled, tree-canopied feel that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. Virginia Beach itself is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and this part of the 23464 zip code sits comfortably inland — away from the tourist bustle of the Oceanfront, but still within reasonable reach of the beach, Town Center, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. Residents here tend to value the balance: suburban calm without feeling cut off from anything. The city's parks system is well represented locally, with Fairfield Forest and Carolanne Park both within easy reach. If you're comparing homes for sale in Virginia Beach, this corridor consistently delivers on the fundamentals — space, access, and neighborhood stability.
What's nearby
Everyday convenience is one of the strongest arguments for 712 Lord Dunmore Drive.

Fitness options are equally varied: Burn Boot Camp, ShapeShifters Yoga & Wellness, and Team Aguirre Martial Arts are all within 0.6 miles. And when you want fresh air, Fairfield Park is just 0.2 miles away, with Carolanne Park and Fairfield Forest both under a mile.
