Lake Placid Homes for Sale in Virginia Beach, VA
Lake Placid is an established Virginia Beach neighborhood built around its namesake lake, set off London Bridge Boulevard near Dam Neck Road in the 23453 ZIP code, with Holland Road and Lynnhaven Parkway among the nearby corridors. The community is defined by its waterfront character: a ring of single-family homes wraps the lake, giving many properties direct lake frontage or open lake views, while interior streets such as Mirror Lake Drive carry the same water-oriented setting. Housing is overwhelmingly single-family — a mix of ranch and two-story homes, typically two to four bedrooms — on traditional Virginia Beach lots with mature trees and established landscaping. With roughly 750-plus homes, Lake Placid is a low-rise residential neighborhood within minutes of NAS Oceana, the Dam Neck Annex, area shopping, and the Oceanfront.

Living in Lake Placid
Lake Placid centers on the water and the neighborhood's own park. Lake Placid Park at 2420 Mirror Lake Drive anchors the community with a playground, tennis and basketball courts, a covered shelter, restrooms, and parking, plus four dedicated outdoor pickleball courts — the first public dedicated pickleball courts in Virginia Beach, opened in 2020 — all set beside the neighborhood's lake and ponds. Errands are convenient: the London Bridge Boulevard, Dam Neck Road, and Holland Road corridors put grocery stores, a Wawa, pharmacies, restaurants, and big-box retail within a few minutes' drive, with Lynnhaven Mall and the Pembroke/Town Center districts a short trip away. NAS Oceana and the Dam Neck Annex are close by via Oceana Boulevard and Dam Neck Road, and Naval Station Norfolk is reachable through Lynnhaven Parkway and I-264. The Virginia Beach Oceanfront and its boardwalk are minutes east, while London Bridge Boulevard and the interstate make travel across Hampton Roads straightforward. Housing types are predominantly detached single-family homes — ranch and two-story floor plans — with lakefront and lake-view positions among the limited waterfront parcels.
Lake Placid's housing stock dates to the late-20th-century suburban build-out of this part of Virginia Beach, so most homes carry the traditional ranch and two-story styling of that era, with brick-and-siding exteriors, attached garages, and established yards. Inventory skews toward two-, three-, and four-bedroom single-family residences, and turnover tends to keep the number of active listings modest at any given time. The neighborhood combines waterfront living with a central Virginia Beach location, and lakefront and lake-view parcels are limited in number. Proximity to NAS Oceana, the Dam Neck Annex, and the Oceanfront supports steady activity across the lake-oriented streets and the interior of the community. As with much of low-lying Virginia Beach, buyers should review flood-zone designations and insurance requirements for any specific property.

Lake Placid real estate FAQ
What kinds of homes are in Lake Placid?+
Lake Placid is almost entirely single-family homes, with a mix of ranch and two-story designs typically offering two to four bedrooms. Many sit on traditional Virginia Beach lots with mature landscaping, and homes ringing the lake offer direct lake frontage or open water views. The neighborhood is established rather than new-construction, so styling reflects the late-20th-century suburban era.
Are there waterfront homes in Lake Placid?+
Yes. The neighborhood is built around its namesake lake, and homes positioned along the shoreline offer lake frontage or lake views, often with backyards that look out over the water. These lakefront and lake-view properties are limited in number. A live listings feed on this page shows which waterfront homes are currently available.
Where is Lake Placid located in Virginia Beach?+
Lake Placid sits in the 23453 ZIP code, off London Bridge Boulevard near Dam Neck Road, with Holland Road and Lynnhaven Parkway among the nearby corridors. The setting is residential and water-oriented, organized around the lake and streets such as Mirror Lake Drive. The location puts shopping, dining, military installations, and the Oceanfront within a short drive.
How far is Lake Placid from the Oceanfront and the nearest base?+
The Virginia Beach Oceanfront and boardwalk are minutes east of the neighborhood. NAS Oceana and the Dam Neck Annex are nearby via Oceana Boulevard and Dam Neck Road, and Naval Station Norfolk is reachable through Lynnhaven Parkway and I-264. That central position keeps commutes across Hampton Roads convenient.
What schools serve Lake Placid?+
Lake Placid is served by Virginia Beach City Public Schools, which assigns elementary, middle, and high school zones by street address. Because attendance boundaries can split within a neighborhood, confirm the exact zoning and current GreatSchools ratings for a specific property using the official VBCPS school locator before relying on any assignment. We can pull the current zoned schools for any address you are considering.
Does Lake Placid have a park or community amenities?+
Yes. Lake Placid Park at 2420 Mirror Lake Drive offers a playground, tennis and basketball courts, a covered shelter, restrooms, and parking, all beside the neighborhood's lake and ponds. It is also home to four dedicated outdoor pickleball courts, which opened in 2020 as the first public dedicated pickleball courts in Virginia Beach.
