Four Main Access Points
Our four communities have four primary ingress and egress points:
- Monet Drive at Dam Neck Road
- Monet Drive at Holland Road
- Winterberry Lane at Princess Anne Road
- Winterberry Lane at Holland Road
Because these are primary access points serving our neighborhoods, traffic, road safety, emergency response, and changes to surrounding development can have a direct impact on residents quality-of-life.
Parks, Schools, Healthcare, and Shopping
Landstown has approximately six neighborhood parks and community parks or green spaces identified through city and local mapping resources. Residents also have access to several public schools, with approximately three schools located within the immediate Landstown area and additional schools in the surrounding communities.
Healthcare is also readily accessible. Sentara Princess Anne Hospital is located immediately adjacent to the Landstown area, providing residents with convenient access to full-service hospital care.
Residents have access to numerous shopping and grocery options, including Walmart and Food Lion. The community is also adjacent to Landstown Commons, which offers a variety of specialty stores, restaurants, and services. The Virginia Beach Farmers Market is located nearby and provides year-round access to fresh produce, food, and other goods.
Safety and Quality of Life
Virginia Beach generally has a reputation as a relatively safe suburban city, with reported crime concerns often centered more on property crime, traffic safety, neighborhood disturbances, and individual incidents than on widespread violent crime.
Our communities are no different. Overall, Landstown remains a relatively safe place to live. However, a small number of individuals can have a disproportionate impact on the quality of life for everyone else.
The goal should not be to portray our neighborhoods as unsafe. Instead, our goal should be to recognize the problems that do exist and work together to address them before they become larger problems.
We have established neighborhoods, strong homeownership, convenient access to schools, healthcare, shopping, parks, and major roads. We have many reasons to be proud of where we live.
Protecting the quality of life we enjoy requires residents to stay involved, communicate with one another, hold our local government accountable, and work collectively when issues threaten our neighborhoods.
