Single family homes and maintenance-free condominiums are for sale.  A few re-sale homes are available in the established villages, and model homes are open in the newest villages, the Grove and Rosecrest, which are being built by Chesapeake Homes and marketed by Progressive Realty.   Once a model and floor plan are selected and a contract signed, new home completion takes about 150 days.   Obtaining a building permit takes 30 days in and of itself.   Most homes are for sale starting in the mid to high $300,000s (and rise from there) and have siding and brick facades with pitched roofs, porches and attached garages.

Of West Neck's villages, Wordsworth Village and Browning Stone Village are somewhat unique because they feature condos rather than single family homes.  Prices begin in the mid-$200,000s for 1,550 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage.   Some units have eat-in kitchens and formal dining areas, and both lawn care and exterior home maintenance are provided.    Call (757) 491-6200 for information.

Each village is connected with the others through a series of wooded walkways, and at least some homes in each village back onto the golf course.  The town center is quite charming and is home to shops, an elegant 15,000 square foot clubhouse, a bar and grill, and a restaurant.  The community requires that one owner in each household be at least 55 years old and limits those under 20 years old (essentially grandchildren) to a 90-day visiting period each year.

The golf course is open to the public, but residents of West Neck may join for $2,000.  Members only pay cart fees and can make tee times 7 days in advance, while the general public is only be able to make tee times 3-4 days in advance.  Member will also have signing privileges at the club and enjoy structured events as well as men's and ladies' golf associations.  

Virginia Beach is located along the mid-Atlantic seacoast in an area of Virginia known as Hampton Roads, which encompasses the Chesapeake Bay and seven surrounding cities.   Virginia Beach draws 2.7 million tourists each year, and has been named by the FBI as the safest city of its size in America.    West Neck is on the eastern edge of the city, not far from four more golf courses, shopping centers, seafood restaurants, specialty stores, the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center, parks with horse trails, bicycling paths and game courts, not to mention long stretches of white sand beaches.

This area has four moderate seasons.  Warm springs blend into hot summer days with temperatures averaging in the low 80s.  Winters are mild, with bright sunny days and temperatures in the 40s and 50s.  Humidity averages 70%, and 3-4 inches of precipitation fall each month.
