Bay Colony-Cavalier Park Home for Rent

Bay Colony-Cavalier Park, often referred to as Bay Colony, is a serene neighborhood in Virginia Beach located on a peninsula extending into Linkhorn Bay, just 2 miles from Oceanfront Virginia Beach. This older, established neighborhood features spacious, tree-lined streets without sidewalks, where residents frequently walk, jog, or ride golf carts. The area is known for its abundant waterfront homes, many with private docks, and a mix of ranch-style and colonial-style houses on large, well-manicured lawns. The community is very social, hosting annual events like a Labor Day picnic, a Fourth of July Parade, and a Christmas visit from Santa on a fire truck. Bay Colony Park offers a peaceful green space, while First Landing State Park, 2 miles away, provides 20 miles of hiking trails and a Chesapeake Bay beach. The neighborhood is close to the bustling Oceanfront and Boardwalk, where residents can enjoy numerous things to do, including concerts, art shows, and festivals. Dining options nearby include Pocahontas Pancake House and Pelon’s Baja Grill Oceanfront. The Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club is a popular local dining spot. Virginia Beach City Public Schools serve the area, with highly rated institutions like Linkhorn Park Elementary, Virginia Beach Middle School, and Frank W. Cox High School. The neighborhood's lack of major roads minimizes through-traffic, though nearby Pacific Avenue and Route 58 can get congested during tourist season.
