Why this home stands out
What sets 722 Hayes Ave apart is its rare everyday convenience: three grocery stores within 0.6 miles, three fitness options within 0.4 miles, and Pecan Gardens Park literally steps away.

PECAN GARDENS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
722 Hayes Ave sits in a well-established residential pocket of Virginia Beach — a city that consistently draws buyers looking for a coastal lifestyle with real suburban roots. This part of Virginia Beach, near the Chimney Hill corridor, carries the low-key energy of a neighborhood that's been quietly functional for decades. Streets are lined with mature trees, lots are generous by city standards, and the surrounding area has grown into a dense hub of daily-life amenities without losing its residential character. If you've been exploring real estate in Virginia Beach, you'll recognize this zone as one of the more self-contained corners of the city — everything from groceries to green space to fitness is within walking distance or a very short drive. Virginia Beach as a whole offers 35 miles of coastline, a strong job market anchored in part by the military, and a city government that invests heavily in parks and infrastructure. This neighborhood reflects that broader civic investment while keeping things approachable and grounded.
