About this home

LIVE YOUR BEACH DREAMS! Enjoy your morning coUee 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!

Why this home stands out

Most homes this close to the water in Norfolk come with a premium footprint and a complicated commute. This one flips that equation. Doc's Beach is 0.1 miles away — a two-minute walk — and Naval Station Norfolk is a seven-minute drive. Two full bathrooms across 1,275 square feet means no sharing a single bath, and the 1983 build era typically means solid construction with room to personalize on your own timeline.

OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market

East Ocean View is one of Norfolk's most distinctive waterfront corridors — a neighborhood that feels like a beach town tucked inside a major military city. The streets here run close to the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, and the lifestyle reflects that: morning walks to the water, casual seafood spots, and a community that genuinely embraces outdoor living. Norfolk itself is the anchor of Hampton Roads, home to one of the largest naval installations in the world and a city that has invested heavily in its waterfront districts over the past two decades. East Ocean View sits on the northern edge of the city, which means you get the laid-back coastal character without being far from the urban core. It's the kind of neighborhood where neighbors wave, dogs are walked daily, and the sound of the bay is never far off.

What's nearby

Daily life at 1048 E Ocean View Ave is genuinely easy. Doc's Beach is a 0.1-mile walk, and Community Beach Park and Lake Modoc are both within 0.3 miles for a longer stroll. Big Boss Burritos 2 is just 0.2 miles away when you want a quick meal, and Doug's Hot Dogs is 0.7 miles for something casual. Grocery runs are covered by Harris Teeter at 0.8 miles, with Joan Brant even closer at 0.4 miles. Coffee is handled by the nearby 7-Eleven at 0.2 miles or Starbucks at 0.8 miles. The Yoga Space and Ocean View Yoga are both within a mile for fitness.
