Why this home stands out
Condos in this size range often feel cramped, but at 1,366 square feet, #202 gives you real room to breathe across two full bathrooms and two bedrooms. The 2009 construction means you're working with modern finishes, updated building systems, and the kind of layout that actually makes sense for daily life — not a floor plan retrofitted from a different era.
RIDGELY MANOR and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Virginia Beach is one of those cities that earns its reputation without trying too hard. The oceanfront gets the headlines, but daily life here runs on a network of walkable pockets, easy highway access, and a year-round calendar that doesn't shut down after Labor Day. The Southmoor Drive corridor sits in the northern stretch of Virginia Beach, a part of the city that tends to attract people who want proximity to the water and the bases without paying oceanfront premiums. The surrounding area has a settled, residential feel — mature landscaping, established streets, and neighbors who tend to stay. You're close enough to the energy of the beach to enjoy it on your terms, but far enough from the tourist corridor that weekday mornings stay quiet. For anyone weighing the 912 Southmoor Drive #202 Virginia Beach condo lifestyle, this part of the city threads the needle between convenience and calm remarkably well.
What's nearby
Everyday errands are well covered from this address. Grocery options, pharmacies, and casual dining are all within a short drive along the nearby commercial corridors. Lynnhaven Mall and the broader retail cluster along Virginia Beach Boulevard are roughly ten to fifteen minutes away. For outdoor time, First Landing State Park — one of the most visited state parks in Virginia — is just a few minutes north, offering trails, kayak launches, and bay-side beaches. The Chesapeake Bay waterfront at Chick's Beach is similarly close, making spontaneous afternoon trips genuinely easy.

When orders change, this location holds broad appeal.

If you're stepping into ownership for the first time, a 2009-built condo at 1,366 square feet is a solid starting point — modern enough to avoid immediate repair surprises, spacious enough to feel like a real home.
