Which neighborhoods are zoned for Great Neck Middle?
City property records group homes into named subdivisions. The largest residential groupings inside the Great Neck Middle zone are Chesapeake Beach, Cape Story By The Sea, Church Point, Trant Berkshire Area, Woods At London Bridge, Baylake Beach/Pines, Lynnhaven Colony and Laurel Cove.

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 schools feed into and out of Great Neck Middle?
The Great Neck Middle zone draws mainly from the John B. Dey Elementary (about 40%), Thoroughgood Elementary (about 21%), Hermitage Elementary (about 14%), Kings Grant Elementary (about 13%) and Trantwood Elementary (about 11%) elementary zones. Students then continue to Frank W. Cox High (the whole zone). The percentages are the share of the zone's residential parcels that overlap each elementary or high school zone in VBCPS's 2026–27 maps.

Of the roughly 9,034 residential parcels in the zone, about 85% are in the city's Single Family or Duplex land-use category and 13% are townhouses, plus 2% multifamily parcels. 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 Great Neck Middle, which shows active listings within a few miles of the school, sorted by distance.
Is the Great Neck Middle zone in a flood zone or jet noise zone?
Flood zones: about 16% 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 24% of residential parcels fall within an NAS Oceana Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) noise contour of 65 dB DNL or higher, including about 12% 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.
