East Beach Architecture

The attention to detail – both in the Master Plan and architectural style- is what sets East Beach apart from other neighborhoods. East Beach is a “Traditional Neighborhood Development” (TND), designed and built in the style of traditional Atlantic coastal villages. The Master Plan for East Beach was developed in the style of “New Urbanism” by world renowned TND master planners Duany Plater-Zyberk. Design guidelines for East Beach homes are set out in the East Beach Pattern Book. Newly constructed homes reflect traditional classic detail and proportion of Tidewater Virginia homes, and are built with materials that will withstand the test of time and forces of Mother Nature and the Chesapeake Bay.
