Why this home stands out
Vacant land this size is genuinely hard to come by inside Virginia Beach's established neighborhoods. At 0.65 acres, Lot 3 Princess Anne Road gives you real breathing room — enough to design a custom footprint, plan a meaningful backyard, or simply avoid the zero-lot-line squeeze that defines so much new construction. The lot sits in Princess Anne Woods, a quiet, tree-lined community that already has the infrastructure, the neighbors, and the character that newer developments spend years trying to earn.
PRINCESS ANNE WOODS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Princess Anne Woods is one of those Virginia Beach neighborhoods that doesn't need to announce itself. Mature trees line the streets, lots are generously sized, and the overall pace feels a step removed from the busier corridors nearby — without actually being far from anything. The neighborhood sits in the southern reaches of Virginia Beach, in the city's Princess Anne district, giving residents easy access to both the oceanfront energy to the east and the quieter suburban feel of the Pungo corridor to the south. If you've been searching realtor com virginia beach listings and finding mostly tight subdivisions or cookie-cutter builds, Princess Anne Woods reads differently. The streets have settled into themselves over the decades, and the community has a cohesion that newer master-planned developments rarely replicate. Virginia Beach as a whole offers a rare mix of military infrastructure, coastal recreation, and a genuinely diverse dining and retail scene — and Princess Anne Woods puts you squarely in the middle of it all without the noise.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is just 11 minutes away, and USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 13 minutes in the other direction — making this lot a practical choice for military households weighing a custom build. Using a VA loan to finance construction on your own land is a well-traveled path, and BAH rates in Virginia Beach have historically supported the math for E-6 and above.
For buyers drawn to character
If your goal is a home that reflects your own decisions — your layout, your materials, your relationship with the lot — then raw land in an established neighborhood like Princess Anne Woods is where that story starts. You're not inheriting someone else's floor plan or their renovation choices. You're starting clean, on 0.65 acres, in a community that already has roots.
