Why this home stands out
What sets 853 Mission Avenue apart is the combination of a post-2000 build — meaning modern construction standards, updated systems, and a layout designed for how people actually live — with a location that puts NAS Oceana under ten minutes away. At 1,866 square feet across three bedrooms and two baths, there's genuine room to spread out without the upkeep burden of an oversized footprint. It's a straightforward, solid home in a city that rarely slows down.
