Why this home stands out
What sets unit #1009 apart is the combination of a compact, efficient 1,137-square-foot floor plan built for real daily living and a location that genuinely earns the word 'walkable.' Two full bathrooms mean no morning standoffs, and the 1983 construction era gives the building a solidity and room-size generosity that newer high-rises often trade away for flashier finishes. Add a sub-ten-minute commute to one of the East Coast's largest naval installations and you have a rare convergence of lifestyle and logistics.
OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market
Ocean View is one of Norfolk's most quietly compelling waterfront corridors — a stretch of the city where residential streets meet the Chesapeake Bay shoreline without a lot of fanfare, and that's exactly the appeal. The neighborhood has been on a steady upward arc, attracting a mix of longtime locals, active-duty families, and buyers who want genuine water proximity without the price tag of the more publicized Virginia Beach strips. Community Beach Park and Ocean View Beach Park are both within a few blocks, so a morning walk along the water is less a weekend treat and more a Tuesday habit. Norfolk itself is a city that rewards curiosity — world-class museums, a thriving restaurant scene downtown, and a port-city energy that feels lived-in rather than manufactured. From this address, you're positioned to enjoy the quieter, breezy side of Norfolk while staying tightly connected to everything the broader city offers.
What's nearby
Groceries are covered from multiple angles: Harris Teeter is 0.4 miles away for a full shop, Tienda Latina La Tapatia 3 is just 0.2 miles for specialty finds, and Dollar General is nearby for quick runs. Oceanview Diner (0.2 mi) handles the classic breakfast-and-lunch crowd, while Doug's Hot Dogs (0.3 mi) is the kind of neighborhood spot that earns regulars fast. Morning coffee comes from Starbucks (0.4 mi) or the 7-Eleven just up the road. For fitness, The Yoga Space (0.2 mi), Ocean View Yoga (0.5 mi), and OV Fit (0.6 mi) give you options from stretching to strength training. Community Beach Park and Ocean View Beach Park, both 0.3 miles out, and Lake Modoc at 0.5 miles round out a genuinely walkable daily routine.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Station Norfolk is six minutes away and MARFORCOM Norfolk is seven — this condo was practically placed with a service member's schedule in mind. A VA loan can make the financing side straightforward, and two full bathrooms handle the early-morning rush whether you're heading to the quarterdeck or the school drop-off line. Ocean View's beach parks give the family somewhere to decompress when the duty day ends.
For first-time buyers
If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, a 1,137-square-foot two-bedroom condo is a smart entry point — enough space to live comfortably, manageable enough not to overwhelm. The Ocean View location means you're buying into a neighborhood with real momentum, walkable amenities, and Chesapeake Bay access that most first homes simply can't offer. A VA loan, if you qualify, can further simplify the path to closing.
