Choosing the Right Plot of Land: Factors to Consider Building Your Virginia Beach Home

Choosing the Right Plot of Land: Factors to Consider Building Your Virginia Beach Home

Once you’ve overcome the initial hurdle of deciding between whether to buy an existing home or build a custom home – and you’ve chosen the latter – you’re next met with a very important decision: where to build?

Virginia Beach is home to beautiful neighborhoods, countless sights to see and places to explore. When choosing this city to settle in the Hampton Roads, there’s really no wrong decision on where to build. However, below we’ve listed 3 things to consider when choosing the perfect plot of land for you and your family’s dream home.

1. Selecting Size

When deciding where to build a home within Virginia Beach, the first question clients typically ask themselves is how big of a plot they want, or really need. This choice ultimately depends on a number of factors, including the size of the home you’re building, financial budget, whether or not you want to prioritize outdoor living space, seek privacy from neighbors, or enjoy the bustling energy of a more populated area … and so much more!

As a family, ask yourself what you desire most. If it’s simply space, then a larger lot is a no-brainer. But if it’s community, then you might opt for a plot of land in the heart of a more established neighborhood versus a spacious plot of land found on the city’s outskirts.

2. Privacy, please

For many of our clients, privacy is one of the highest desires. When we can’t allow for privacy because of the physical restraints that some plots have, there are other ways to recreate and allow for this feature! Consider purchasing and building on a plot of land with a mature tree line, or a plot that neighbors or backs up to farmland. Both of these options give you the space and scenery you desire, allowing some breathing room between you and your neighbors, without you having to foot the bill yourself on a larger plot.

3. Prioritize what matters to YOU

When it comes to building in Virginia Beach, a stunning ocean view to gaze upon every morning is at the top of many clients’ dream home list. For others, there’s an importance of being in a quiet neighborhood and on a safe street with little traffic.
