ABOUT THE VILLAGES AT WEST NECK
THE MASTER PLAN
The Villages at West Neck broke ground in 2000 for the first of the eight villages almost 25 years ago. The eight villages were completed by 2016, with a total of 930 residences and a current population of over 1600 residents. A creative touch in the Master Plan was woven into the naming of the villages with allusions to the greats of literature, science and social justice. Granite markers greet the entrance to each village with a quotation which has significance to the village name. The Villages at West Neck is an established, well-maintained community which has grown and prospered!
THE VILLAGES
Two of the eight villages are easy living condominium communities with over 400 units. These one-floor units boast attached garages, private balconies, porch areas, and generous floor plans. Not to be missed are the private elevators to the second-floor units!
Six of the eight villages are well-maintained, traditional single family home communities with a combined total of over 525 homes. These beautiful homes, while varying in design, all have first-floor primary suites, low-maintenance exteriors, and attached garages. There are open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, copious natural light and sweet outdoor areas for entertaining!
THE LOCATION
Located in a forested transition area on the south side of Virginia Beach near the farmland of Pungo, the Villages of West Neck present an opportunity to live in one of the fastest growing regions of Hampton Roads. Enjoy easy access to healthcare, numerous cultural and educational opportunities, sporting events, diverse cuisines, and varied retail shopping. While the location provides all the necessities of a premier adult living community, it also allows you to live your best life with the beaches of Virginia Beach, Sandbridge, and North Carolina’s Outer Banks being so incredibly close!
Arthur Parke
Timeless Freedom
In short, there’s simply not
A more congenial spot
For a happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
… Camelot - Alan Jay Lerner & Frederick Loewe
Arthur Parke is situated to the left of the main entrance of West Neck. We have basically one long circular street that has sixty-four single family homes. The attraction of Arthur Parke is having a single-family home with a spacious lot and landscaping. We pride ourselves on being a friendly neighborhood where we look out for each other. We have quarterly dinners on a Saturday night at the West Neck Hall and host quarterly golf outings at nearby courses.

Browningstone
Timeless Love
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life.
… Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Browningstone Village is the first village you see after turning onto Legendary Drive upon entering West Neck. Browningstone consists of 108 condominium units in eighteen buildings. There are only two streets, Browning Drive and Sonnet Drive. Eleven of the buildings wind alongside the lakes and former golf course. The majority of the other buildings back up to a wooded area. The builder thoughtfully angled the buildings as to afford the most privacy possible to all units.
Browningstone has a very active social committee which plans a wide variety of events for residents throughout the year. There are also impromptu driveway get-togethers hosted by several owners. One of the Browningstone residents is a professional flutist who, in addition to performing for all West Neck residents, will entertain condo residents in one of the two park areas in Browningstone: Sonnet Park or Browningstone Park.

Emerson Spring
Timeless Life
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded.
… Ralph Waldo Emerson
Emerson Spring is one of several villages within the West Neck community. It is the largest village consisting of two hundred and seven single family homes. All of our streets are named after famous figures in art, literature and science such as Einstein, Hemmingway, Blake, Longworth and Bach. Because of its size, our residents enjoy all the activities in West Neck, such as Bible studies, birdwatching, book clubs, bunco and that’s just at the beginning of the alphabet. As years have passed, Emerson Spring residents have assimilated with friends and neighbors from all the villages.

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.

The Grove is the smallest of the Villages at West Neck. The Grove is comprised of two streets, Energy Drive and Genius Place, with a total of twenty-three homes. The first homes were built in 2005 and the last in 2015. Residents chose The Grove for the beautiful setting, the size of the village, and the larger lots.
