916 Virginia Ave, Virginia Beach, VA 23451

Why this home stands out

What sets 916 Virginia Ave apart is the combination of mid-century bones, generous square footage for the era, and a location that puts two major military installations within a six-minute drive. Add a half-bath on top of three full baths — a rare find in a 1956 build — and you have a home that handles real daily life without compromise. Shadowlawn's mature streetscape gives it a grounded, established feel that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate.

SHADOWLAWN and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Shadowlawn is one of those Virginia Beach neighborhoods that earns its reputation quietly. Streets lined with mature trees, homes with real character, and a community that's been here long enough to feel genuinely settled — it's the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other. The area sits in the southern coastal corridor of Virginia Beach, putting you close to the oceanfront energy without being in the thick of it. Whether you're relocating from out of state or making a local move, working with va beach realtors who know Shadowlawn's nuances makes a real difference — the neighborhood has layers that don't show up in a ZIP code search. Virginia Beach as a city brings everything else: a robust economy, year-round outdoor culture, and a military community that shapes the area's character in the best possible way. Shadowlawn fits naturally into that larger picture while still feeling like its own distinct pocket of the city.
