Why Bay Colony, Virginia Beach,
VA Homes For Sale?
Bay Colony, Virginia Beach, VA, is a neighborhood of about 600 homes in the North End area of the city, wrapped around Crystal Lake and Linkhorn Bay next to the Princess Anne Country Club. The streets are quiet and winding with little through traffic, yet the beach is a short bike ride away. Typical home values here run around $1,480,000 as of November 2026, and the waterfront estates and the new construction sit well above that. For those who want privacy, mature trees and the ocean a few blocks over, Bay Colony is one of the most sought-after addresses in Virginia Beach.
What to Expect in Bay Colony
Estates and new builds on the North End
You can bike to the beach, and the winding streets give the neighborhood a privacy that beach life does not always come with. The homes range from established estates and single-family homes, some held by the same owners for decades, to new construction on rebuilt lots. The waterfront properties on the lake and the bay sit at the top of the market. Buyers set on waterfront usually weigh this against waterfront homes in North End, Alanton homes for sale and Croatan Beach waterfront listings.

Bay Colony is located around the Princess Anne Country Club as well as Crystal Lake and Linkhorn Bay. It’s a quiet drive to Laskin Road and Atlantic Avenue, which take you to the beach and the rest of the region.
