Which neighborhoods are zoned for Ocean Lakes High?
City property records group homes into named subdivisions. The largest residential groupings inside the Ocean Lakes High zone are Ocean Lakes/Culver Acres, Princess Anne Plaza, Pine Meadows, Red Mill Farm/Meadows, Redwing/Beacons Reach, Magic Hollow, Dam Neck Estates and Upton Estates.
On this site, the zone overlaps these neighborhood guides: Ocean Lakes (all of the homes in that guide area) and Red Mill (about 64% of the homes in that guide area).
Zone lines follow streets and creeks, not subdivision names, so two homes in the same neighborhood can go to different schools. Before you make an offer, enter the exact address in the VBCPS School Locator. VBCPS sets attendance zones and can change them.
Which elementary and middle schools feed Ocean Lakes High?

What kinds of homes are in the Ocean Lakes High zone?
Of the roughly 8,679 residential parcels in the zone, about 90% are in the city's Single Family or Duplex land-use category and 10% are townhouses. Detached houses dominate, with townhome communities mixed in for buyers who want a smaller footprint. Apartment and condo counts are understated in parcel data, because a whole apartment complex is often a single parcel.
I don't quote prices here because they change every week. To see what is selling now, use the live home search around Ocean Lakes High, which shows active listings within a few miles of the school, sorted by distance.
Is the Ocean Lakes High zone in a flood zone or jet noise zone?
Flood zones: about 1% of residential parcels in the zone have a building the city maps in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zones A, AE or VE). Some other buildings are listed under more than one flood designation, so check each address. If a building is in a Special Flood Hazard Area, lenders on federally backed mortgages require flood insurance.
Jet noise: about 83% of residential parcels fall within an NAS Oceana Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) noise contour of 65 dB DNL or higher, including about 41% in the highest band above 75 dB DNL.
Virginia law (Va. Code § 55.1-704) requires sellers in Virginia Beach to disclose a property's noise zone or accident potential zone. You can look up any address on the city's AICUZ page, floodplain management page and property search.

How I built this page: I took school facts from VBCPS and VDOE. Then I counted City of Virginia Beach parcel records (October 2026 extract) inside the VBCPS 2026–27 attendance zone polygon. Percentages describe parcels, not people, and are approximate. Always verify a specific property.
