A little community with a lot to offer
Bayville is a little sliver of a neighborhood tucked between the Lynnhaven River and Chic’s Beach, just a mile from the Chesapeake Bay. Despite its small size, Bayville offers a wide range of benefits. “I would still consider it one of the Bay communities and part of central Virginia Beach,” says Ryan Bielat, a Realtor at Long & Foster Real Estate who has been selling in the area for eight years and has a lifetime of experience growing up and living there. “I would say being close to the Bay is the biggest draw. It’s got good restaurants, it’s got parks, it’s got things to do. It could be considered a walkable community, and it’s family-centric.”
Residents in the Bayville neighborhood actively participate in community events and gatherings.

Traditional homes alongside crepe myrtles
Virginia Beach’s signature crepe myrtle trees are common in Bayville, blooming in vibrant pinks and purples each July alongside its ranch-style homes and occasional two-story colonial-style homes and Cape Cods. Two-bedroom fixer-uppers can cost around $295,000, while large four-bedroom homes can climb to nearly $689,000. The median home price, however, falls at $525,000. Simply crossing Lookout Road into Chic Beach brings home prices nearing and breaking well past $1 million, so Bayville’s prices are relatively modest for being so close to the Bay. “There’s a very strong market in Virginia Beach, there’s still a huge lack of inventory and nothing’s really changed,” Bielat says. “We have very, very good public schools and we have all four branches of the military. There’s a lot of people moving in and out of Virginia Beach.”
