Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a single-family home is a rarity in this corner of Virginia Beach, and 828 Timberlake Drive delivers exactly that across 2,555 square feet. The quarter-acre lot gives you real outdoor breathing room, while the 1974 construction era means solid bones and generous room proportions you simply don't see in newer builds. Two and a half baths keeps morning routines moving for a full household.
DUNBARTON and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Dunbarton is one of those established Virginia Beach neighborhoods that earns its reputation quietly — tree-lined streets, well-kept lots, and a genuine sense of community that newer developments spend years trying to manufacture. Situated in the western reaches of Virginia Beach near the Chesapeake city line, the area sits in a sweet spot: suburban calm without the isolation. Neighbors here tend to stay, which tells you something. If you've been browsing condos for sale in Virginia Beach and wondering whether a full single-family neighborhood might suit you better, Dunbarton is a compelling answer. The streets curve gently, the lots are generous, and Dunbarton Park is just down the road. Virginia Beach's broader amenities — beaches, Town Center, the Oceanfront — are all within reasonable reach, but day-to-day life here runs at a calmer pace. It's the kind of place where you actually know the people a few doors down.
