Thoroughgood Homes for Rent

Thoroughgood is a neighborhood located on the northwest side of Witch Duck Bay in Virginia Beach. Named after the historic Thoroughgood House, the area has preserved its midcentury homes and large traditional houses, many of which have lush green lawns and waterfront views. Tall evergreens shade residential streets. Homes near the water may require flood insurance due to the area's elevation of about 20 feet above sea level. Thoroughgood is approximately 13 miles from the Virginia Beach beachfront, but locals often prefer the milder waves of Chic’s Beach less than 3 miles away. Nearby, First Landing State Park is also popular for its calmer waters. The park has biking and hiking trails, plus campsites and a sandy beach. Thoroughgood is part of the highly rated Virginia Beach City Public School District, with Thoroughgood Elementary, Independence Middle and Princess Anne High all receiving high marks. Dining options along Pleasure House Road include New River Taphouse and 1608 Crafthouse. For shopping, the Norfolk Premium Outlets and IKEA are roughly 6 miles away. Various attractions, like The Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, are also within a few miles. Major roads like Northampton Boulevard connect drivers with employers and destinations like Norfolk International Airport, 8 miles away.
