Why this home stands out
What sets 897 24th Street apart is its rare combination of base access and beach-city living in a single package. Six minutes to NAS Oceana and nine to Dam Neck Annex means short commutes on both ends of the day. At 1,420 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, the layout is efficient without feeling cramped — and the 2000 build year means you're working with modern construction bones rather than decades of deferred updates.
BEACH BOROUGH and the Virginia Beach real estate market
The 23451 zip code places you squarely in one of Virginia Beach's most sought-after corridors — close enough to the Oceanfront to feel the energy of the city, while sitting in a residential pocket that keeps things quieter on weekday mornings. Streets in this part of Virginia Beach tend to have a relaxed, established character: mature trees, neighbors who wave, and a mix of long-time residents and military families rotating through on orders. The area sits just inland from the resort strip, which means you get walkable access to the beach lifestyle — seafood spots, coffee shops, the Boardwalk — without the noise of a hotel district out your front door. Virginia Beach as a whole is the largest city in the Commonwealth by population, and this zip code puts you near its geographic and cultural heart. Daily errands, dining, and recreation are all within a short drive or, in many cases, a short walk.
