About this home

LIVE YOUR BEACH DREAMS! Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the Chesapeake Bay or unwinding after work with a drink on your incredible 50-foot wraparound deck. Spanning the entire back and side of the condo and accessible from every room, this outdoor space gives you a front-row seat to beautiful sunrises, breathtaking Bay views, and—if you're lucky—even dolphins swimming by. When you're ready to put your toes in the sand, simply head downstairs, cross the dune, and you're there. Whether it's a morning swim, an afternoon on the sand, or an evening walk along the shoreline, bayfront living doesn't get more convenient than this. If you can pull yourself away from the beach and the view, step inside to your freshly renovated 2-bed, 2-bath home. This second-story unit offers added privacy. Both bedrooms and the main living area feature doors opening directly onto the wraparound deck. Don't miss this opportunity to make the beach lifestyle a reality - come experience the view for yourself!

Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

A two-bedroom, two-bath home at 1048 E Ocean View Ave puts you steps from Chesapeake Bay beaches, seven minutes from Naval Station Norfolk, and within easy reach of the everyday conveniences that make life on this stretch of Norfolk genuinely comfortable.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 1048 E Ocean View Ave apart is simple geography: Doc's Beach is a two-minute walk, Community Beach Park is a quarter mile away, and Lake Modoc is right around the corner. For a 1,275-square-foot home built in 1986, the location does heavy lifting — waterfront recreation, quick base access, and a walkable strip of restaurants and shops all land within a mile of your front door.

OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market

East Ocean View is one of Norfolk's most distinctive coastal pockets — a low-key, residential stretch where the Chesapeake Bay is a genuine part of daily life rather than a weekend destination. The streets here have a relaxed, lived-in feel: modest homes, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay a while. Ocean View Avenue itself is the spine of the area, threading together beach access points, local eateries, and small parks without the congestion you'd find closer to downtown. Norfolk as a city brings serious infrastructure — a major port, a thriving arts scene, and one of the most robust military presences on the East Coast — but East Ocean View feels apart from all that energy in the best way. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land here once they realize how much waterfront lifestyle you get without the premium price tags of some neighboring ZIP codes. The 23503 ZIP code covers this coastal corridor and carries a strong sense of community identity.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy here. Joan Brant grocery is 0.4 miles away, with Harris Teeter just 0.8 miles for a fuller shop. Big Boss Burritos 2 is practically next door at 0.2 miles, and Doug's Hot Dogs is a short walk down the avenue at 0.7 miles. Coffee runs are covered by the 7-Eleven at 0.2 miles or Starbucks Coffee Company at 0.8 miles. For fitness, The Yoga Space and Ocean View Yoga are both under a mile. Best of all, Doc's Beach is 0.1 miles away — a quick walk when you want salt air without planning a trip.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Seven minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and eight minutes to MARFORCOM Norfolk — that commute math works in your favor. A VA loan can make this two-bed, two-bath home even more accessible, and the East Ocean View community has long been a comfortable landing spot for military families who want beach proximity without the long drive back to base after a shift.

For first-time buyers

At 1,275 square feet with two bedrooms and two full baths, this home is a practical, manageable size for someone buying for the first time. The walkable beach access, tight-knit neighborhood feel, and strong base-employment economy make the 23503 ZIP code a sensible place to put down roots — the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23503 with real lifestyle value.
