Salem has quiet homes near Stumpy Lake and Oceana Naval Air Station
Bordered by Stumpy Lake’s natural areas and bracketed by golf courses, Salem is a friendly, pond-studded suburb just 9 miles from the Oceana Naval Air Station. “It’s like your typical small family neighborhood. You’ll see people walking around, there are little parks that are salt-and-peppered around the neighborhood that kids like to go to and parents take their kids to,” says Micah Lee, a Realtor at Seaside Realty who has sold homes in the area for seven years. “You’re always going to see somebody walking their dog and waving at you as you drive down the street.” Lee says that this atmosphere is helped along by Salem’s high concentration of military families. Despite the neighborhood’s usual quiet, it’s a short drive from local colleges, concerts at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater, usually simply called the Virginia Beach Amphitheater, and the buzzy Virginia Beach Farmers Market.
Surrounded by protected wetlands, Stumpy Lake Recreation Area gives Salem residents access to kayaking, walking paths, and natural scenery close to home.
Stumpy Lake Natural Area in Greenbrier East offers outdoor recreation, including kayaking, walking paths, and natural scenery.

Single-family homes on cul-de-sacs
Salem’s residential streets are wide, quiet and often end in cul-de-sacs. Many have sidewalks shaded by small trees, but not all of them do.

New Traditionals and Colonial Revivals dominate the rest of the neighborhood, with sale prices typically falling between the $390,000 and $560,000. A few homes climb to about $770,000. There are also townhouses and condos in Salem’s northwestern corner, which typically cost between $220,000 and $340,000.

Kayaking and hiking at Stumpy Lake, shaded fun at Salem Woods Dog Park
At Salem’s western edge, Stumpy Lake is a favorite spot for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. The sprawling natural area around the park offers forested hiking and biking trails, and Stumpy Lake Golf Course offers an 18-hole course on the far side of the lake. On Salem’s side of the lake, Honey Bee Golf Club also has an 18-hole course for members.Although Stumpy Lake is a huge draw, it’s far from Salem’s only outdoor space. “Really, what really stands out for me about Salem is just all the small little local parks that are in the area,” Lee says. “It’s pretty sweet, and most of them have small little ponds or lakes attached to them.” These parks are scattered across the neighborhood, but Salem Woods Park is the most popular for its dog park, which has three play areas with shaded areas and water fountains. The park also has a playground and open green space for sports or picnics. Virginia Beach's Oceanfront is about 14 miles away.

Nearby concerts from major stars at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater
Salem is under 4 miles from the Virginia Beach Amphitheater. “You can hear the bands rocking out in your backyard sometimes,” Lee says. “The Virginia Beach Amphitheater has massive national and international acts that come in, so it’s a huge venue.” With a capacity of 20,000, it draws huge crowds for major performers like Hozier and Twenty One Pilots.
Paying attention to hurricane season
Though it’s not a yearly occurrence, hurricanes occasionally hit Virginia Beach. Its location inland means that Salem isn’t in a flood zone, but it remains important to pay attention to emerging storms.
