Why this home stands out
Built in 2026, this residence brings fresh construction quality to an established neighborhood. The open layout spans 1,650 square feet across three bedrooms and 2.1 baths, giving you room to spread out without excess. New homes in this area don't come often—the location near NAS Oceana and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, plus walkable access to daily errands, makes this a rare find among Virginia Beach homes for sale.
THALIA VILLAGE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
South Gum Avenue sits in a mixed-use pocket of Virginia Beach where residential blocks meet local commerce. The street has a neighborhood feel—tree-lined, quiet, and close enough to shops and restaurants that you can walk for coffee or groceries. La Tienda, European Grocery Market, and ALDI are all within a few blocks, as are spots like Grande Burrito Grill and Town Center Pizzeria. Parks anchor the area too: Thalia Creek Launch and Thalia Park give you outdoor space without a long drive. Virginia Beach itself is a sprawling coastal city, but this corner feels connected and accessible. You're 10 minutes to NAS Oceana and 12 minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, which shapes the neighborhood's character—steady, reliable, and built for people who value proximity to work. The 23452 zip code covers a diverse slice of the city: working families, established residents, and newcomers all share these streets. Getting around is straightforward: local roads feed into major corridors, and the bases are a quick commute away.
What's nearby
You're steps away from everyday essentials. Three grocery stores—La Tienda, European Grocery Market, and ALDI—sit within a block or two, along with quick bites at Grande Burrito Grill and Town Center Pizzeria. Coffee runs are easy: 7-Eleven and Tropical Smoothie Cafe are nearby, and Starbucks is a short walk. Fitness options include Flex Gym and Planet Fitness, both close by. For outdoor time, Thalia Creek Launch and Thalia Park offer water access and green space. Kids Cove Playground rounds out the recreation scene.
