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.

Is the Landstown Middle zone in a flood zone or jet noise zone?
Flood zones: about 0% 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 48% of residential parcels fall within an NAS Oceana Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) noise contour of 65 dB DNL or higher, including about 2% 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.
