Neighborhood

Known as one of the finest beach towns in the Mid-Atlantic, the Northwest region of the pristine Virginia Beach is no exception. With inland lakes scattered throughout the area and a long strip of sandy shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay, Northwest Virginia Beach is a premier coastal destination. From luxury apartments to cozy houses for rent, there’s something for everyone in this east coast beach town.

With 42 acres of nature preserve along thousands of feet of lakefront shoreline, the Lake Lawson/Lake Smith Natural Area is a natural oasis where boating and fishing are popular pastimes. For athletic fields and courts, a dog park, and a sprawling wooded area alongside the Bayville Golf Club, visit Bayville Farms Park. If you plan to commute, don’t worry. Major interstate highways reside through or around Northwest Virginia Beach, and the Norfolk International Airport is adjacent to the area.

Northwest Virginia Beach boasts more than just waterfront views and sandy beaches.

Great place to live!

This is a clean, quiet & excellently maintained apartment community. Chic's Beach on the Chesapeake Bay located nearby as is shopping and dining. Im a long term resident as well as recently retired and lake Bradford meets all my expectations. Maintenance requests have always been handled quickly & thoroughly.

$70 rent increase from one lease to the next.

Headline says it all. Nice place, nice people, but be prepared for an exorbitant rent increase from year to year.
