Why this home stands out
Cul-de-sac living is genuinely rare, and Larkaway Court delivers it — a low-traffic dead-end street where kids can play and neighbors actually know each other. At 2,347 square feet with four bedrooms and three full baths, there's room to spread out without sacrificing the close-knit feel of a smaller street. The 1972 build era means solid construction with the kind of lot sizes that newer subdivisions rarely offer.
BELLAMY MANOR ESTATE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Larkaway Court sits in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach, one of the city's most established and centrally located districts. Kempsville grew up in the 1960s and 70s as Virginia Beach expanded inland, and the result is a mature neighborhood with tree-lined streets, generous lots, and a genuine sense of community that newer master-planned developments are still trying to replicate. You're well inside the city — close enough to reach the oceanfront, Town Center, or the interstate without a long haul, yet far enough removed from tourist traffic to enjoy a quieter pace day to day. Virginia Beach as a whole offers a rare combination: a top-tier coastal city with a strong job market, no state income tax on military pay, and a lifestyle that ranges from surf culture on the Atlantic side to suburban calm further inland. Kempsville sits comfortably in that inland sweet spot.
