Why this home stands out
What sets 816 13th Street apart is the combination of post-2000 construction and a location that puts two major military installations within a 10-minute drive. The 2009 build means you're getting contemporary bones — think efficient floor plans, updated systems, and 2.1 baths that make morning routines far less chaotic — all without the upkeep demands of an older Virginia Beach cottage.
LAKEWOOD and the Virginia Beach real estate market
816 13th Street sits in Virginia Beach's vibrant resort-adjacent corridor, a stretch of the city where beach-town energy meets everyday livability.

The city's year-round mild climate and coastal identity make it a place people tend to stay once they arrive.
