Why this home stands out
What sets 130 S Gum Ave apart is the rare combination of new construction and an established, walkable Virginia Beach location. Built in 2026, everything inside is factory-fresh — no deferred maintenance, no aging systems, no surprises. You're also within a half-mile of three grocery options, two gyms, a kayak launch, and a playground, which is genuinely unusual for a new build at this price point in the region.
THALIA VILLAGE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
130 S Gum Ave sits in a central Virginia Beach corridor that punches well above its size when it comes to everyday convenience. The surrounding streets are a mix of established single-family homes and newer infill construction, giving the area a lived-in, grounded feel without the cookie-cutter uniformity of a master-planned subdivision. Thalia Creek and Thalia Park are both within half a mile, offering green space, water access, and a neighborhood anchor that residents genuinely use year-round. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most populated cities on the East Coast, yet individual neighborhoods here retain a surprisingly local character — you'll find independent restaurants alongside national chains, and community parks that actually see foot traffic. The city's mix of military presence, coastal lifestyle, and suburban infrastructure makes it one of the most consistently in-demand housing markets in Hampton Roads, and this address sits squarely in a pocket that benefits from all of it.
What's nearby
Groceries are covered from multiple angles: ALDI, La Tienda/La Tapatia 4, and European Grocery Market are all within 0.3 miles, which means a quick errand rarely requires getting on a major road. Grande Burrito Grill and Town Center Pizzeria handle dinner when you don't feel like cooking. For your morning routine, Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Starbucks are both under half a mile, and a 7-Eleven is just 0.2 miles away for those early starts. Flex Gym and Planet Fitness are both 0.3 miles out, with Collective Yoga rounding out the fitness options at 0.5 miles. Thalia Creek Launch at 0.4 miles is a genuine perk for kayakers and paddleboarders, and Kids Cove Playground is 0.6 miles away.
