Fairfield Homes for Sale in Virginia Beach, VA
Fairfield is one of the established residential communities in the Kempsville section of Virginia Beach, set off Providence Road in the city's central corridor. The neighborhood took shape largely in the 1970s, with some homes added in the years that followed, and is known for its brick-and-siding colonials and single-level ranch homes on mature, tree-lined lots. Its central position places shopping, Kempsville-zoned schools, and access to Interstate 264 and Interstate 64 within easy reach, making it one of the more conveniently located inland areas in the city. The name traces back to the colonial-era Fairfield Plantation, the historic tract on which the nearby Fairfield Shopping Center was later built.

Living in Fairfield
Daily life in Fairfield centers on its residential streets and its proximity to the Kempsville Road and Providence Road intersection, where the Fairfield Shopping Center and Providence Square sit across from one another. Fairfield Shopping Center anchors everyday errands with a Food Lion grocery, T.J. Maxx, and Taylor's Do It Center hardware, alongside a range of dining and service options. Just a short drive away, the city-run Kempsville Recreation Center offers an indoor pool, an indoor walking and jogging track, a double gymnasium with basketball courts, fitness equipment, and a climbing wall. The location suits commuters: Interstate 264 and Interstate 64 are nearby, the Oceanfront is roughly a 20-minute drive, and the area offers tunnel-free routes to NAS Oceana (around 20 minutes), with Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story typically reachable in about 25 minutes. Housing here is predominantly detached single-family homes, with colonials and ranches the dominant styles.
Fairfield's housing stock is rooted in 1970s suburban development, dominated by two-story colonials and single-story ranch homes, many built in brick or brick-and-siding combinations on established lots. Because the neighborhood is essentially built out, inventory tends to be limited, and turnover comes from resale rather than new construction. Demand is shaped by the central Kempsville location, the convenience of nearby shopping and major highways, and tunnel-free access to several military installations. Some homes offer opportunities for buyers seeking updates or renovations, while others have been modernized by prior owners, giving the market a mix of move-in-ready and value-add options.
Fairfield real estate FAQ
What kinds of homes are in Fairfield?+
Fairfield is made up almost entirely of detached single-family homes built primarily in the 1970s, with some added in later years. The two dominant styles are two-story colonials and single-level ranches, many constructed with brick or brick-and-siding exteriors on mature lots. Because the community is essentially built out, most properties come to market as resales rather than new construction.
What schools serve Fairfield?+
Fairfield is within the Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) division. The neighborhood is served by Fairfield Elementary School (grades PK-5) at 5428 Providence Road, which carries a GreatSchools rating of 5 out of 10, with middle and high school assignments in the Kempsville area. Because attendance boundaries and feeder patterns can change, buyers should confirm current zoning for a specific address directly with VBCPS.
How far is Fairfield from the Oceanfront and the military bases?+
Fairfield's central Kempsville location offers highway access via Interstate 264 and Interstate 64. The Virginia Beach Oceanfront is roughly a 20-minute drive, NAS Oceana is about 20 minutes away, and Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story are typically reachable in around 25 minutes. A notable feature of these routes is that they avoid the regional bridge-tunnels. Actual drive times vary with traffic and time of day.
Are there waterfront homes in Fairfield?+
Fairfield is an inland neighborhood and is not a designated waterfront community, so most homes sit on standard interior lots. Buyers specifically seeking water-access or lakefront properties in the broader Kempsville area may want to look at nearby communities such as Indian Lakes or Lake Christopher. A local agent can help compare Fairfield with those water-oriented options.
How competitive is the Fairfield market?+
Because Fairfield is essentially a built-out neighborhood, the number of homes for sale at any given time is typically limited, which can make well-priced, updated listings move quickly. The community's central location, established character, and access to highways and shopping help sustain interest in the area. Working with an agent who monitors new listings closely is helpful for staying ahead of limited inventory.
What recreation options are near Fairfield?+
The city-run Kempsville Recreation Center is located a short drive from the neighborhood and features an indoor pool, an indoor walking and jogging track, a double gymnasium with basketball courts, fitness equipment, and a climbing wall. Several public parks are also nearby. If a particular Fairfield property is part of a neighborhood association, buyers should verify any association amenities, membership terms, and dues directly as part of their purchase, since these can vary by section and address.
About Virginia Beach
Homes for sale in Virginia Beach, VA span every price point and lifestyle — from oceanfront condos along the famous Boardwalk to sprawling waterfront estates on the Lynnhaven River and Linkhorn Bay. As the largest city in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach offers an unusually varied real estate market: established family neighborhoods in Great Neck (ZIP 23454), golf-course communities in Kempsville (23464), modern townhomes near Town Center (23462), and beach-cottage living along Sandbridge (23456). Whether you're searching for a starter home under $300K, a family home in a top-rated school district, or a luxury property north of $2 million, the active MLS inventory updates daily here. Buyer demand stays strong year-round, driven by Virginia Beach's mild coastal climate, the consistently top-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Kempsville High, Floyd E. Kellam High, Princess Anne High, and Cox High among them), and the city's role as home to Naval Air Station Oceana — the largest master jet base in the country. Military families relocating here through PCS orders make up a meaningful share of buyers, and VA loan financing is widely used. First-time buyers gravitate toward the inland ZIPs (23464, 23456, 23452), while second-home and luxury buyers tend toward 23451 (Oceanfront/North End) and 23454 (Great Neck/Bay Colony). Below you'll find every active Virginia Beach home for sale pulled live from the REIN MLS and refreshed every 5 minutes.
