Why this home stands out
Few addresses in this part of Virginia Beach combine genuine square footage — 4,438 feet across five bedrooms and four full baths — with sub-ten-minute access to two major installations. The 1966 construction puts this home in a generation of builds known for solid bones, generous room proportions, and mature landscaping that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. If space and location are your top two priorities, this address checks both boxes decisively.
BIRDNECK POINT and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Cardinal Road sits in a quiet, tree-lined residential pocket of Virginia Beach where mid-century homes share the streetscape with mature oaks and well-kept yards. The area carries the unhurried feel of an established neighborhood — sidewalks see morning walkers, driveways see weekend projects, and neighbors tend to stay for decades. Locals sometimes reference this corridor when searching for parkside green virginia beach properties, and it's easy to see why: the greenery and lot sizes here feel more like a park than a subdivision. Virginia Beach itself needs little introduction — it's one of the largest cities by land area in the country, offering everything from oceanfront recreation to inland dining districts, all without the congestion of a dense urban core. The 23451 zip code places you solidly in the heart of the city's most sought-after residential band, close to the coast, close to the bases, and close to the everyday conveniences that make daily life genuinely easy.
What's nearby
Grocery runs are straightforward with multiple options within a short drive along the Virginia Beach Boulevard and Shore Drive corridors. Coffee shops, casual dining, and quick-service spots cluster nearby, so weekday mornings don't require a long detour. First Landing State Park is a short drive away, offering hiking trails, kayak launches, and some of the most scenic coastal forest in Hampton Roads. The Oceanfront boardwalk and resort strip are accessible in under fifteen minutes, giving you a world-class beach without living in the thick of tourist traffic. Pharmacies, urgent care, and everyday retail round out the convenience picture.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to NAS Oceana and ten to Dam Neck Annex — that's a commute most active-duty families would take without hesitation. Five bedrooms means everyone gets their own space, which matters when deployments and duty schedules keep the household running at full speed. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than many families expect, and the dual-base proximity keeps BAH working hard for you.
For families upgrading
If your current home has you doubling up bedrooms or converting dining rooms into office space, 912 Cardinal Road offers a genuine reset. Four full baths across 4,438 square feet means morning routines stop being a negotiation. The 1966 build gives you room sizes that today's new construction rarely matches, and the mature lot provides the kind of outdoor space that younger neighborhoods — and most homes in virginia beach for sale at this price tier — simply don't have yet.
