853 Mission Ave, Virginia Beach, VA 23462

Why this home stands out

What sets 853 Mission Ave apart is the combination of a well-proportioned 2004-built floor plan and an almost absurdly convenient location. You're walking distance from a full Kroger Marketplace, multiple parks, and a Planet Fitness, yet the neighborhood streets stay quiet enough that Town Square Neighborhood Park — just 0.4 miles away — actually feels like a backyard extension. For a Virginia Beach address this close to NAS Oceana, that balance is harder to find than it looks.

TOWNE SQUARE and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Mission Ave sits inside a mid-2000s residential pocket of Virginia Beach's Kempsville-area corridor — a part of the city where suburban comfort and everyday convenience genuinely overlap. The streets are lined with homes from roughly the same era, giving the area a cohesive, established feel without the dated infrastructure that sometimes comes with older stock. Virginia Beach itself is one of the most livable cities on the East Coast: a diverse, sprawling independent city that blends coastal energy with inland neighborhoods that are practical, affordable, and well-connected. This part of the city — inland from the Oceanfront but well within reach of it — tends to attract people who want real square footage, real yards, and real proximity to work without paying Oceanfront premiums. The Virginia Beach city limits give you access to strong municipal services, a robust parks system, and easy highway connections to the rest of Hampton Roads.
