Why this home stands out
New construction in an established Virginia Beach neighborhood is genuinely hard to find, and 128 S Gum Ave delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, the home brings current construction standards — modern mechanicals, fresh finishes, and an efficient floor plan — to a walkable block already surrounded by grocery stores, parks, and restaurants. You're not trading convenience for newness here; you get both.
THALIA VILLAGE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
South Gum Avenue sits in a well-established residential pocket of Virginia Beach, tucked between the Thalia Creek corridor and the busy retail spine along Virginia Beach Boulevard. The area has the lived-in ease of a mature neighborhood — tree-lined streets, nearby green space, and a genuine mix of neighbors — without feeling remote. Virginia Beach itself is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and this address puts you squarely in its geographic middle, making commutes in nearly every direction manageable. Thalia Park and Thalia Creek Launch are both within half a mile, giving the block a quiet, outdoorsy character that's easy to underestimate until you actually live here. Families comparing homes for sale in 23452 will find this zip code consistently popular for exactly that balance: city infrastructure, suburban scale, and green space all within walking distance.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from 128 S Gum Ave. ALDI, La Tienda/La Tapatia 4, and the European Grocery Market are all within 0.3 miles — three distinct grocery options before you even reach Virginia Beach Boulevard. Grande Burrito Grill and Town Center Pizzeria handle dinner within a few blocks, and Starbucks Coffee Company, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and a 7-Eleven cover your morning routine. Flex Gym Inc, Planet Fitness, and Collective Yoga are all within half a mile, so skipping a workout becomes harder to justify. Thalia Creek Launch (0.4 mi) and Kids Cove Playground (0.6 mi) round out a walkable lifestyle that's rare this close to two major bases.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is ten minutes away and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is twelve — two of Hampton Roads' largest installations within a single commute window. A VA loan pairs naturally with a new-construction purchase like this one, since there's no deferred maintenance to negotiate around. Military families who've cycled through older housing stock will appreciate starting fresh in a 2026-built home that requires nothing on day one.
For first-time buyers
A 2026-built home means no surprise repair bills in year one — everything from the roof to the mechanicals is new. The location does a lot of the heavy lifting too: three grocery stores, multiple gyms, and green space all within half a mile means you can keep one car and still live comfortably. Among Virginia Beach homes for sale, a new-construction option at this price point and in this location is worth a close look.
