Which neighborhoods are zoned for Larkspur Middle?
City property records group homes into named subdivisions. The largest residential groupings inside the Larkspur Middle zone are Chimney Hill, Larkspur/Meadows/Farm, Arrowhead, Timberlake, Carolanne Farm/Point, Timberlake Aspen, Huntington and Kempsville Lake.
On this site, the zone overlaps these neighborhood guides: Green Run (about 72% of the homes in that guide area), Kempsville (about 35% of the homes in that guide area), Town Center & Pembroke (about 14% of the homes in that guide area) and Salem (about 12% 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 schools feed into and out of Larkspur Middle?
The Larkspur Middle zone draws mainly from the Kempsville Meadows Elementary (about 22%), Point O'View Elementary (about 17%), Arrowhead Elementary (about 16%), Parkway Elementary (about 13%), Rosemont Elementary (about 12%), White Oaks Elementary (about 11%) and Green Run Elementary (about 9%) elementary zones. Students then continue to Green Run High (about 54%) and Kempsville High (about 46%). 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.
What kinds of homes are in the Larkspur Middle zone?
Of the roughly 11,280 residential parcels in the zone, about 70% are in the city's Single Family or Duplex land-use category and 29% are townhouses. That is a higher townhouse share than many Virginia Beach zones, which gives buyers more entry-level and lower-maintenance options alongside detached homes. 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 Larkspur Middle, which shows active listings within a few miles of the school, sorted by distance.
Is the Larkspur Middle zone in a flood zone or jet noise zone?
Flood zones: about 2% 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 8% of residential parcels fall within an NAS Oceana Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) noise contour of 65 dB DNL or higher.
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.
