Why this home stands out
What sets 936 Miner Drive apart is the combination of genuine everyday convenience and military-friendly positioning that's hard to match at this size. A Harris Teeter sits 0.4 miles from the front door, Rib City is practically next door, and two separate military installations — NAS Oceana and USCG Finance Center Chesapeake — are each a 12-minute drive. For a 1,522-square-foot home, the location does a lot of heavy lifting.
BELLAMY MANOR and the Virginia Beach real estate market
936 Miner Drive sits in a well-established residential pocket of Virginia Beach, one of the most livable mid-sized cities on the East Coast. The surrounding area has a settled, mature feel — tree-lined streets, parks within walking distance, and a mix of neighbors who've been here for years alongside newer families putting down roots. This part of Virginia Beach sits comfortably inland from the oceanfront, which means you get the city's amenities without the seasonal congestion that comes with beach-adjacent zip codes. Kempsville-area Virginia Beach is known for its accessibility: you're close to I-264, Witchduck Road, and the Virginia Beach Expressway, making commutes across the region genuinely manageable. The 23462 zip code blends suburban calm with urban reach — you're never far from what you need, whether that's a quick grocery run, a fitness class, or an afternoon at a local park. It's the kind of address that works hard for you without demanding much in return.
