Great Neck is a broad Virginia Beach residential area rather than one uniform subdivision. It extends across a peninsula influenced by the Lynnhaven River, Broad Bay, smaller tidal creeks, and the Great Neck Road corridor. The area contains established neighborhoods, waterfront and inland properties, schools, parks, recreation facilities, shopping areas, medical and professional services, and multiple routes toward Shore Drive, Hilltop, the Oceanfront, and I-264.
Individual communities within Great Neck have their own street patterns, housing types, civic identities, and water access. Explore Alanton, Baycliff, Broad Bay Point Greens, Great Neck Estates, Trantwood Shores, Wolfsnare Plantation, Linlier, Laurel Cove, Chelsea and other local communities to compare life across the area.
