Why this home stands out
What sets 5500 Coliss Ave apart is the combination of a classic mid-century footprint — four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and over 1,800 square feet on one level — with an address that punches well above its size in convenience. Groceries are literally steps away, two military installations are within a quarter-hour's drive, and the surrounding Kempsville-area streets carry the quiet, established feel that only comes from six decades of settled neighborhood life.
FAIR MEADOWS and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Coliss Ave sits in the Kempsville corridor of Virginia Beach, one of the city's most centrally positioned residential pockets. The streets here were laid out in the early 1960s, and the neighborhood has the mature tree canopy and solid brick construction to prove it. It's not a flashy address — it's a functional one, the kind of block where neighbors know each other and commutes actually make sense. Virginia Beach itself fans out in every direction from here: the Oceanfront is roughly twenty minutes east, Town Center is a short drive west, and I-264 and I-64 are close enough to make the whole metro feel accessible. Families comparing Virginia Beach homes for sale often zero in on this zip code precisely because it threads the needle between price point, location, and lot size. The city's parks system, its network of recreation centers, and a dense ring of everyday services all land within a comfortable radius of Coliss Ave, making daily life genuinely low-effort.
