Fairfield Homes for Sale in Virginia Beach, VA

Fairfield is one of the settled neighborhoods in the Kempsville section of Virginia Beach. It sits off Providence Road in the city's central corridor. The neighborhood took shape largely in the 1970s. Some homes were added later. It is known for brick-and-siding colonials and one-level ranch homes. They sit on mature, tree-lined lots. Its central spot keeps shops and Kempsville-zoned schools close. Interstate 264 and Interstate 64 are within easy reach too. That makes it one of the handier inland spots in the city. The name traces back to the colonial-era Fairfield Plantation. Nearby Fairfield Shopping Center was later built on that historic tract.

Living in Fairfield

Daily life in Fairfield centers on its home streets. The Kempsville Road and Providence Road crossing is close by. There, the Fairfield Shopping Center and Providence Square sit across from each other. Fairfield Shopping Center anchors daily errands. It has a Food Lion grocery, T.J. Maxx, and Taylor's Do It Center hardware. A range of places to eat and services round it out. Just a short drive away is the city-run Kempsville Recreation Center. It has an indoor pool and an indoor walking and jogging track. There is a double gym with basketball courts, fitness gear, and a climbing wall. The spot suits commuters. Interstate 264 and Interstate 64 are close. The Oceanfront is roughly a 20-minute drive. Tunnel-free routes lead to NAS Oceana, around 20 minutes away. Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story are typically about 25 minutes away. Housing here is mostly detached single-family homes. Colonials and ranches are the main styles.

Fairfield's homes are rooted in 1970s suburban growth. Two-story colonials and one-story ranch homes dominate. Many are brick or brick-and-siding on settled lots. The neighborhood is nearly built out. So supply tends to be limited, and turnover comes from resales rather than new builds. Demand is shaped by the central Kempsville spot and the nearby shops and highways. Tunnel-free routes to several military bases help too. Some homes offer a chance for buyers who want to update or renovate. Others have been updated by prior owners. So the market has a mix of updated homes and homes with room to add value.

Fairfield real estate FAQ

What kinds of homes are in Fairfield?+

Fairfield is almost all detached single-family homes. Most were built in the 1970s, with some added in later years. The two main styles are two-story colonials and one-level ranches. Many have brick or brick-and-siding exteriors on mature lots. The community is nearly built out. So most homes come to market as resales rather than new builds.

What schools serve Fairfield?+

Fairfield is within the Virginia Beach City Public Schools division, known as VBCPS. Grades PK-5 are served by Fairfield Elementary School at 5428 Providence Road. It carries a GreatSchools rating of 5 out of 10. Middle and high school zoning is in the Kempsville area. Zones and feeder patterns can change. Buyers should confirm current zoning for a specific address with VBCPS.

How far is Fairfield from the Oceanfront and the military bases?+

Fairfield's central Kempsville spot puts Interstate 264 and Interstate 64 close. The Virginia Beach Oceanfront is roughly a 20-minute drive. NAS Oceana is about 20 minutes away. Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story are typically around 25 minutes away. A big plus is that these routes skip the regional bridge-tunnels. Actual drive times vary with traffic and time of day.

Are there waterfront homes in Fairfield?+

Mostly no. Fairfield is an inland neighborhood and is not a designated waterfront community. Most homes sit on standard interior lots. Buyers who want water access or lakefront homes may want to look nearby. Indian Lakes and Lake Christopher are two options in the wider Kempsville area. A local agent can help compare Fairfield with those water-oriented options.

How competitive is the Fairfield market?+

Fairfield is nearly built out. So the number of homes for sale at any time is typically limited. That can make well-priced, updated listings move fast. The central spot, settled character, and reach to highways and shops help keep interest in the area steady. Working with an agent who watches new listings closely helps you stay ahead of the limited supply.

What recreation options are near Fairfield?+

The city-run Kempsville Recreation Center is a short drive from the neighborhood. It has an indoor pool and an indoor walking and jogging track. There is a double gym with basketball courts, fitness gear, and a climbing wall. Several public parks are nearby too. Some Fairfield homes may be part of a neighborhood association. If so, buyers should verify any association amenities, membership terms, and dues. Do this as part of the purchase, since these can vary by section and address.
