Thoroughgood...A quiet neighboorhood full of history and just minutes from Virginia Beach Town Center.
In 1635, Captain Adam Thoroughgood received a land grant of over 5 acres and he and his decendants chose to build here. One of the oldest brick houses in America still stands just a minutes walk from the driveway and is visited by thousands each year. 
Beautiful Scenery all year long...Either drinking coffee in the morning or a coctail at night, the surrounding landscape allows you to take in all of Nature's beauty no matter what season it is.
Like to canoe or kayak? That is easy, just jump in and paddle away. Like to fish? same thing -just walk down and go for it. The beautiful private lake is very peaceful and relaxing to take a book or take a nap out in the middle, or you can dock next to the dam and go over into to the Lynnhaven River.
Schools...Thoroughgood is very fortunate to have such great access to wonderful Virginia Beach City public Schools.
With its excellent schools, Thoroughgood Elementary School and Independence Middle School, Thoroughgood has remained a highly desirable place to reside.
