Why this home stands out
New construction in an established Virginia Beach neighborhood is a rare find, and 134 S Gum Ave delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, everything here is factory-fresh — systems, finishes, and structure alike. You're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance; you're starting the clock. Add in the half-bath for guests, the tight commute to two major military installations, and three grocery options within a third of a mile, and the everyday math works out nicely.
THALIA VILLAGE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
South Gum Avenue sits in a quiet residential pocket of central Virginia Beach, a city of roughly 460,000 that stretches from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. This part of the city — zip code 23452 — is solidly mid-city, meaning you're well clear of the oceanfront crowds while still being a straight shot to the beach, Town Center, and the interstate. The streets here are lined with a mix of established single-family homes and newer builds, giving the area a lived-in, community feel without feeling frozen in time. Families comparing homes for sale in Virginia Beach often land in this zip because it threads the needle between affordability, location, and access to everyday conveniences. Thalia Creek and Thalia Park are within half a mile, lending a touch of green space to what is otherwise a fully urban-convenience neighborhood. Virginia Beach as a whole is a military-friendly, economically diverse city with a strong job base, consistent infrastructure investment, and one of the lowest crime rates among large East Coast cities.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from S Gum Ave. ALDI, La Tienda/La Tapatia 4, and the European Grocery Market — Russian Food are all within 0.3 miles, so a grocery run rarely requires getting on a major road. Grande Burrito Grill and Town Center Pizzeria handle weeknight dinners, and a Starbucks Coffee Company is just 0.4 miles out when you need the real thing. Flex Gym Inc and Planet Fitness are both within 0.3 miles if you prefer weights, while Collective Yoga at 0.5 miles offers a calmer option. Thalia Creek Launch, Thalia Park, and Kids Cove Playground are all under 0.6 miles — a short walk or quick bike ride for an afternoon outside.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is a ten-minute drive and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is twelve — two of Hampton Roads' busiest installations, both within easy reach. New construction means no surprise repair bills during a PCS transition, and the VA loan pairs cleanly with a brand-new build. Families comparing Virginia Beach homes for sale near both bases will find this address checks a lot of boxes at once.
For first-time buyers
A 2026-built home means you're walking into warranties, not workarounds. The 1,650-square-foot layout gives you room to grow without overextending, and the half-bath is a small detail that makes a big difference when you have guests. If you're browsing homes for sale in 23452 for the first time, starting with new construction removes a lot of the uncertainty that comes with older inventory.
