Living in West Neck

Daily life in West Neck centers on the community's amenities, anchored by the 24,000-square-foot golf clubhouse — home to the Signature Grille restaurant, a pro shop, and dining rooms — and a separate Village Hall amenity center with a fitness center, library, and hobby and game rooms. Residents also enjoy an outdoor pool, bocce and horseshoe courts, and a full-time activities director who coordinates clubs, events, and social gatherings. Golfers play the Arnold Palmer-designed Signature at West Neck course right inside the neighborhood, while the broader community of roughly 1,600 residents is organized into eight villages — six of single-family homes and two of condominiums — built largely between 2000 and 2016. The setting is quiet and green, yet minutes from Red Mill and Landstown shopping, Sentara Princess Anne Hospital, and the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, with Sandbridge Beach and the Oceanfront a short drive away.

West Neck homes for sale range from low-maintenance condominiums and attached villas to detached single-family homes, with the single-level and first-floor-primary floor plans that buyers consistently seek out. Floor plans generally offer two or more bedrooms across roughly 1,500 to 2,800 square feet, and recent prices have run from the mid-$300,000s into the low $600,000s.

West Neck real estate FAQ

What is West Neck in Virginia Beach?+

West Neck, formally The Villages at West Neck, was Virginia Beach's first age-qualified 55+ active-adult community, with development beginning in the early 2000s. It comprises roughly 930 homes spread across eight named villages and was built around the Arnold Palmer-designed Signature at West Neck golf course off West Neck Road in the Princess Anne area. As a legally age-restricted community under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), at least one resident per home must typically be 55 or older.

What kinds of homes are in West Neck?+

The community is organized into eight villages: six of single-family detached homes (Arthur Parke, Blue Lake, Browningstone, Carrollton, Emerson Spring, and Rosecrest) and two of one-floor condominiums (The Grove and Wordsworth). Single-family homes commonly feature first-floor primary suites, attached garages, and low-maintenance exteriors, while the condominiums offer single-level layouts with attached garages, private balconies, and porch areas. Many homes back to golf, lake, or wooded views.

What amenities does West Neck offer?+

Residents share a clubhouse and Village Hall with a fitness center, library, and hobby and game rooms used for art classes, card games, and community gatherings. Outdoor amenities include a community pool, bocce, and horseshoes. The community was designed around the 18-hole Signature at West Neck golf course, with recreation, social events, and walkable streets central to the neighborhood's layout.

What happened to the West Neck golf course?+

The original 18-hole Signature at West Neck course, designed by Arnold Palmer, closed in 2019, and the land sat undeveloped for years. On March 25, 2026, Virginia Beach City Council approved (9-2) a redevelopment called The Preserve at West Neck, which adds 143 age-restricted homes plus a new 9-hole golf course on roughly 86 acres of the former course. Buyers should verify the current status of golf access and construction timelines, as the project is in its early stages and has been the subject of litigation.

What schools serve the West Neck area?+

The broader West Neck Road corridor in southern Virginia Beach (ZIP 23456) is generally zoned to Three Oaks Elementary, Princess Anne Middle, and Kellam High School, which sits at 2665 West Neck Road within Virginia Beach City Public Schools. As of early 2026, Three Oaks Elementary held a GreatSchools rating of 9 out of 10 and serves grades PK and K-5. Note that the Villages at West Neck itself is an age-qualified 55+ community; always confirm current zoning with VBCPS for any specific address.

Where is West Neck and how far is it from the Oceanfront and area bases?+

West Neck sits off West Neck Road in the Princess Anne / Transition Area of southern Virginia Beach, a more open, less densely built part of the city. It is roughly 12 to 15 miles from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and a comparable drive to NAS Oceana and the Dam Neck Annex. Shopping, dining, and healthcare at Princess Anne Commons and the Town Center area are a short drive north, while Sandbridge and the rural Pungo countryside lie to the south and east.

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 here is synced from REIN every 5 minutes. 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).
