One of Virginia Beach's most established communities off General Booth Boulevard, zoned for Ocean Lakes High School and minutes from NAS Oceana's gates. Mature trees, sidewalks and homes that move fast when they're priced to the market.
Red Mill Farm and the neighborhoods around Red Mill Commons keep attracting families who want shopping, dining and schools within a short drive. Demand here stays strong year round, especially from military buyers using VA loans.
Larger lots and mostly 1990s-era colonials and transitionals off Princess Anne Road and General Booth. Strawbridge buyers want space, a two-car garage and a quick run to Red Mill Commons.
A quiet, tree-lined community off Princess Anne Road near Sandbridge Road. Foxfire homes offer family-sized floor plans, cul-de-sacs and one of the easiest drives to Sandbridge in the city.
Established homes on generous lots near Nimmo Parkway and Upton Drive, a short walk or bike ride to Ocean Lakes High School. Longtime owners here usually have a better equity story than they think.
The neighborhoods along Dam Neck Road and General Booth sit closest to Dam Neck Annex and NAS Oceana's back gate. PCS timelines mean motivated buyers in every season, which is great news for sellers who price right.
I don't do cookie cutter listings. Every home gets a plan built for that specific property: pricing backed by real local data, professional presentation, and negotiation that protects your bottom line when inspections and appraisals get bumpy. I'm a 5-star rated REALTOR®, licensed in Virginia and North Carolina, brokered by Swell Realty Co. I make 100% commission, which means every dollar of effort goes into selling your home, not splitting fees.

"I had an exceptional experience working with Jess. From start to finish, she is very professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She communicated clearly, answered every question promptly, and always made sure I felt informed and confident in each step. What stood out most was her attention to detail and genuine commitment to finding the right home for me. She went above and beyond—whether it was scheduling showings quickly, offering thoughtful guidance, or negotiating effectively on my behalf. Thank you for your expertise and dedication, the process was not easy but it made it easier having you helping me and my family. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
