Why this home stands out
What sets 801 Mission Ave apart is the combination of a manageable, well-proportioned floor plan and a location that keeps you genuinely close to everything — NAS Oceana, major retail corridors, and the broader Virginia Beach road network. At 1,688 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the home offers enough space to spread out without the upkeep burden of a much larger property. The 2004 build year means systems and finishes start from a relatively modern baseline.
