Which neighborhoods are zoned for Plaza Middle?
City property records group homes into named subdivisions. The largest residential groupings inside the Plaza Middle zone are Princess Anne Plaza, Windsor Woods/Oaks West, Pecan Gardens, Lynn Woods/Fst/Mdwglen, Windsor Oaks West, Windsor Oaks West Halifax, Holland Meadows/Waters and Doyletown.
The zone sits between the neighborhood guides on this site. The closest are Lynnhaven and Kings Grant.
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 Plaza Middle?
The Plaza Middle zone draws mainly from the Windsor Oaks Elementary (about 35%), Brookwood Elementary (about 21%), Lynnhaven Elementary (about 19%), Holland Elementary (about 11%), Windsor Woods Elementary (about 7%) and Malibu Elementary (about 7%) elementary zones. Students then continue to Green Run 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.
What kinds of homes are in the Plaza Middle zone?
Of the roughly 6,856 residential parcels in the zone, about 79% are in the city's Single Family or Duplex land-use category and 21% 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 Plaza Middle, which shows active listings within a few miles of the school, sorted by distance.
Is the Plaza Middle zone in a flood zone or jet noise zone?
Flood zones: about 10% 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 70% of residential parcels fall within an NAS Oceana Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) noise contour of 65 dB DNL or higher, including about 4% 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.
