Why Northwest, Virginia Beach,
VA Homes For Sale?
Northwest Virginia Beach is the part of the city closest to Norfolk and the Chesapeake Bay, taking in the established neighborhoods around Independence Boulevard, Haygood Road and the Lake Smith and Lake Lawson area. It is a stretch of inland lakes and 1960s subdivisions rather than beach, and that is reflected in the prices, which run lower than the waterfront parts of the city. Homes for sale here range from starter homes and condos to larger homes on the lakes, so there is something for most budgets. For those who want easy access to Norfolk, Little Creek and Town Center, it is a practical place to look.
