1075 W Ocean View Ave, Norfolk, VA 23503

Why this home stands out

This is a three-plus-unit apartment property with direct access to the water and the neighborhood's character. Built in 1962, the building carries mid-century bones and sits on a block where beach access is steps away. You're close enough to walk to restaurants, coffee, and parks—the kind of urban convenience that defines East Ocean View.

WILLOUGHBY BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

East Ocean View is Norfolk's waterfront neighborhood, where tree-lined streets meet bay views and a genuine sense of community. The blocks here mix older apartment buildings, modest single-family homes, and waterfront access points. Daily life centers on the water: you're a short walk to 12th View Beach Access and 13th View Street Beach Access, plus neighborhood restaurants like Swell Charcoal Grill and Raw Bar and Willoughby By The Bay. Norfolk itself is a working waterfront city with Naval Station Norfolk as its anchor. Getting around is straightforward—major routes connect you to downtown, the airport, and the broader Hampton Roads region. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will find East Ocean View offers waterfront living without the premium price tag of newer developments.

What's nearby

You're walking distance to two beach-access parks and a handful of neighborhood restaurants and coffee stops. Swell Charcoal Grill and Raw Bar sits 0.3 miles away, and 7-Eleven (both restaurant and coffee) is equally close. Willoughby By The Bay is a short 0.9-mile stroll. The waterfront parks at 12th View and 13th View Street are your backyard, really—0.3 and 0.5 miles respectively. Coffee and quick bites are never far away on this walkable block.
