Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 729 Howell Street apart is its combination of mid-century bones and genuine proximity to both the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake and Norfolk Naval Shipyard — two installations that are notoriously hard to live close to simultaneously. At just eight and nine minutes away respectively, the commute math here is hard to argue with. The 1958 construction gives the home solid single-story character on a modest footprint that's straightforward to maintain and personalize.

WESTVIEW VILLAGE and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Virginia Beach is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the 23464 zip code sits in the city's inland western corridor — a quieter, more residential pocket well removed from the oceanfront crowds. Streets here tend to be tree-lined and low-traffic, with a neighborhood feel that's more suburban than resort. Longtime residents and military families alike have put down roots in this part of the city because it delivers everyday convenience without the premium that comes with beachside addresses. If you've been searching for a house for sale in Virginia Beach 23464, this part of town rewards a closer look: grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining are all within a short drive, and the broader Virginia Beach park system keeps outdoor options accessible year-round. The city's extensive road network means you can reach the Oceanfront, Town Center, or the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel without committing to a long haul.

What's nearby

Day-to-day life around 729 Howell Street is genuinely convenient. Major grocery options and pharmacy chains are within a few minutes by car, and the surrounding commercial corridors along Kempsville Road and Indian River Road cover most routine errands in a single loop. Bow Creek Recreation Center is a short drive north for fitness and community programming. Kempsville Area Library provides a quiet local resource. Several casual dining spots and fast-casual chains cluster nearby for weeknight ease. For bigger outings, Virginia Beach Town Center — with its restaurants, shops, and event venues — is reachable in roughly fifteen minutes.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

With the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake eight minutes away and Norfolk Naval Shipyard just nine, 729 Howell Street is one of the rare addresses that works well for personnel assigned to either installation. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the short commute leaves more time for everything else. Families rotating through Hampton Roads will find this location genuinely hard to beat.

For first-time buyers

A three-bedroom, two-bath home under 1,300 square feet is a manageable starting point — enough space to grow into without the overhead of a sprawling floor plan. The 1958 build means the home has had decades to settle, and the western Virginia Beach location keeps you connected to the city without paying oceanfront prices. It's a practical, grounded entry into homeownership.
