Why this home stands out
What sets 712 Lord Dunmore Drive apart is the combination of a walkable, well-supplied corridor right outside your door and genuine greenspace access — Fairfield Park is just 0.2 miles away.

FAIRFIELD and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Lord Dunmore Drive sits inside Virginia Beach's Fairfield area, one of those mid-city neighborhoods that grew up in the early 1980s and has since matured into a comfortable, lived-in community. Streets are tree-lined, lots are generous for the era, and neighbors tend to stay a while. Virginia Beach itself is the most populous city in the state, stretching from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean, and this part of the city puts you squarely in the middle of it all — close to the interstate, close to shopping, and close to work without being in the thick of downtown traffic. The Fairfield area carries a suburban rhythm: quiet evenings, accessible parks, and the kind of neighborhood where you actually know the people two doors down. It's a practical, grounded place to put down roots.

Fairfield Park is a two-minute walk at 0.2 miles, with Carolanne Park and Fairfield Forest both under 0.6 miles for longer outdoor stretches. Burn Boot Camp, ShapeShifters Yoga & Wellness, and Team Aguirre Martial Arts give you three distinct fitness options all within walking distance.
