Why Lynnhaven appeals to families and commuters alike

Lynnhaven is a suburban neighborhood in Virginia Beach just west of Naval Air Station Oceana. It’s best known for Lynnhaven Mall, a citywide destination for shopping, dining and entertainment. Homebuyers can choose from a mix of older and newer homes, which feel removed from the mall’s hubbub thanks to trees, creeks and neighborhood parks. Families are drawn here for the highly rated schools, and commuters appreciate having Interstate 264 close by.
