Why this home stands out
What sets unit 1012 apart is the combination of a walkable, resort-adjacent address and quick access to two major bases. Dame Neck Annex is six minutes away and NAS Oceana is seven — an unusual double-base convenience that's hard to find this close to the beach. Add a grocery store literally 0.1 miles out your door, multiple gyms nearby, and a half-dozen dining spots within a short stroll, and daily errands rarely require a car.
PACIFIC SOUTH CONDO and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Pacific Avenue is the main artery running parallel to the Virginia Beach oceanfront, and the 500 block sits right in the thick of the action — without being swallowed by the tourist strip. The surrounding blocks carry that familiar mix of year-round locals and seasonal energy, with independent restaurants, coffee shops, and small parks woven between the bigger attractions. Virginia Beach is a city that earns its reputation across every season, not just summer. Think about virginia beach in december: the crowds thin out, the boardwalk quiets down, and you still have mild coastal weather, open restaurants, and that same Atlantic horizon all to yourself. That off-season calm is part of what makes living here — rather than just visiting — feel like a genuine lifestyle upgrade. The city's resort district amenities are a short walk away, while the residential character of the surrounding streets keeps things grounded. Norfolk County jurisdictional lines and Virginia Beach city services both factor into daily life here, and the infrastructure reflects decades of investment in a community that takes its coastal identity seriously.

Prise's Food Mart is 0.1 miles away, making a quick grocery run genuinely quick.

CoreStrength Center is right at 0.1 miles if you want to stay active, and TakeOver Athletics Shadowlawn adds another option at 0.4 miles. Virginia Legends Park, Grommet Island Park, and The Jetty are all within half a mile for outdoor time along the water.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Dam Neck Annex is six minutes from your front door and NAS Oceana is seven — that kind of dual-base proximity is rare, especially at the oceanfront. A VA loan can make this unit more accessible than you might expect, and the walkable location means one car can genuinely cover most of your household's daily needs, which matters when deployments shift the schedule.
For first-time buyers
At 880 square feet with two bedrooms and one and a half baths, unit 1012 is a practical, manageable size for a first home — without feeling cramped. You're walking distance from groceries, coffee, parks, and dining, which keeps life simple. Virginia Beach in november and through the quieter winter months is a reminder that owning here is about the full year, not just peak season.
