Linkhorn Park
Suburban Neighborhood in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Virginia Beach County 23451
Boasting gorgeous estates within short walking distance of the oceanfront, it doesn’t get much better than Linkhorn. This upscale, centrally located Virginia Beach neighborhood is bordered to the west by Little Neck Creek and to the right by one of the most flourishing sections of the beach. In Linkhorn, residents enjoy access to dining, shopping, entertainment and incredible ocean sunrises all within a few blocks.
The winding, narrow residential roads of Linkhorn make it clear that this is not an area designed for through traffic. Instead, with large estates set back on sprawling, wooded lots surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, this neighborhood offers an exceptional amount of privacy and seclusion. Large colonials, Cape Cods and ranch homes are perched on lushly landscaped lots that range between a half-acre to an acre. Many of these properties are on the Little Neck Creek waterfront, with private access for boating and fishing. In Linkhorn, you can get a three-bedroom, three-bathroom brick ranch home for around $850,000 or a five-bedroom, five-bathroom custom-built estate for around $2 million. “We’re seeing some longer market times in this area,” says Heather Platz, Realtor with The Real Estate Group. “It depends on the property, of course, but we’re starting to get back to the way it used to be, where it wasn’t unusual for a house to sit on the market for a few months. However, inventory is still super low.”
Kids who live in Linkhorn attend Linkhorn Park Elementary School, Virginia Beach Middle School and Frank W. Cox High School. These schools all belong to the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district, which receives an overall grade of A from Niche. Cox High School, which also earns an A grade from Niche, offers students a wide variety of clubs and activities to join, which include Guitar Club, Japanese Club and Wingspan Literary Magazine.
Linkhorn residents are only two blocks away from the wide, sandy beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Take a salty-aired stroll on the 3-mile paved boardwalk or enjoy a bike ride on the paralleling, two-lane path. The trail runs between 40th Street on the north and Rudee Inlet on the south, with access to the Atlantic Ocean the whole way. Neptune’s Park on 35th Street is a great place to hear live music Throughout the summer, this popular outdoor venue hosts free, nightly entertainment as well as an annual Free Summer Concert Series with national recording artists. Kids will love the Beach Playground behind Neptune’s Park. This play area in the sand features climbing structures and slides.
When hungry, head to Lager Heads, an oceanfront bar and grill located in the Hilton Garden Inn on Atlantic Avenue. Here, you can enjoy classic American fare like burgers and crabcakes with a view that’s hard to beat. For a quick and casual lunch, TASTE on Pacific Avenue has a variety of salads and sandwiches to enjoy in the café or to bring to the beach for a picnic.
Pick up groceries nearby at Harris Teeter on Arctic Avenue, and for a variety of fresh seafood, swing by Welton’s Seafood Market on Laskin Road. The rest of your shopping needs can be met with a short 3-mile drive down Laskin Road, which will land you in an area brimming with familiar retailers like Target and Walmart.
Proximity to Interstate 264 makes getting across town a breeze, but with so much to enjoy right in Linkhorn, you may not want to leave.
