Neighborhood descriptions

Alanton

Welcome to Alanton — where evening walks mean waving to neighbors along North Bay Shore Drive and weekend plans revolve around the water. Tucked between Broad Bay and Linkhorn Bay, this established Great Neck neighborhood is known for deep-water canals, private docks, and quick boat access to the Lynnhaven Inlet.

 

Homes here sit on generous lots shaded by mature oaks, and you’re just a short drive to Church Point, Great Neck Park, and the beaches at First Landing. Kids bike to Alanton Elementary, and neighbors gather for block parties and waterfront sunsets.

 

From stately waterfront estates with boat lifts to classic brick colonials on quiet interior streets, Alanton offers true coastal living without leaving the city conveniences of Hilltop and Shore Drive just minutes away.

Laurel Cove

Welcome to Laurel Cove — a tucked-away waterfront enclave off Great Neck Road that many people drive past without ever realizing it’s there. With winding streets, cul-de-sacs, and homes backing to tidal inlets and marsh views, this neighborhood feels private and peaceful.

 

You’re minutes from Great Neck Middle, Cox High, and local favorites along Shore Drive, yet mornings here are quiet except for birds over the water. Many homes offer deep-water access with docks, while others sit beneath mature trees on oversized lots that give the neighborhood its established charm.

 

If you’re looking for a serene setting where you can kayak from your backyard and still be at the Oceanfront or Hilltop in under 15 minutes, Laurel Cove delivers.

Located just off Great Neck Road near Cox High, this established neighborhood is a favorite for those who want space, convenience, and top-tier schools all in one place.

 

Sidewalk-lined sections make it ideal for evening strolls and bike rides, and neighbors often gather for seasonal events and yard sales. You’re minutes to Great Neck Recreation Center, Hilltop shopping, Shore Drive dining, and the Chesapeake Bay beaches.

 

Homes range from well-maintained classic colonials to updated modern interiors, often with large backyards perfect for entertaining. Point O’ Woods offers that hard-to-find combination of stability, location, and everyday livability that keeps buyers coming back.

Testimonials

Andrew was such a big help finding us the perfect house for us in Chesapeake. We are moving down from NY and only had a short period of time to look over the Thanksgiving Holidays. He showed us many houses before we finally found one that met our special needs (large lot and garage space). We closed right after Christmas and can't wait to move into our home. Andrew was always available to answer our many questions and responded quickly to phone calls and e-mails. Will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the Hampton Roads area.

Because we were from out of the state, and limited in time it was imperative that we found a house in a very short span of time.
Andrew worked very hard to find us the exact house we were looking for, then followed up with a home inspector, and was able to put together the sale after we left the state.
It was the smoothest home purchase I have ever done, because of Andrew's hard work.

Andrew was an absolute pleasure to work with. When I first started looking for a house I had very strict and difficult criteria’s. With his vast knowledge of how the system works and local familiarity, we were able to find the exact house I was looking for by bypassing houses that weren’t even possible for me to purchase due to using a VA loan. He was always there to answer questions any day and any time. He kept working for me moving my contract along while I was away on vacation to avoid delaying closing. All these are expected of a professional realtor, but what I did not expect was for him to make a personal sacrifice to make an impossible sale happen. Thanks to Andrew and the team at Kris Weaver Realty I’m now happily living in my dream home.
