1047 W 36th St, Norfolk, VA 23508

Why this home stands out

New construction is rare in established urban Norfolk neighborhoods, and 2019 construction at this scale — four bedrooms, three full baths, 2,176 square feet — is genuinely hard to find this close to two major installations. You get the character of a mature city block with the mechanical systems, energy efficiency, and layout logic of a home built in the last decade. That combination is the real story at 1047 W 36th St.

PARK PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

West 36th Street sits in the heart of a Norfolk neighborhood that straddles two worlds: the quiet, tree-lined residential grid that runs through this part of the city and the lively commercial stretch along Colley Avenue just blocks away. It's the kind of address where you can walk to a neighborhood restaurant for dinner and still feel like you're on a real residential street when you come home. Norfolk as a city rewards people who like density without chaos — distinct neighborhoods, genuine local businesses, and a waterfront identity that shapes daily life even if you're not on the water yourself. The 23508 zip code in particular draws a mix of medical professionals, military families, and ODU-affiliated households, which gives the area a grounded, community-minded feel. If you're comparing Norfolk homes for sale and wondering where urban convenience and neighborhood calm actually overlap, this corridor answers that question.
