VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

Meet 110 Lydia Ave — a compact 1955 ranch-style home on a generous 0.23-acre lot in River Forrest Shores, Norfolk. Three bedrooms, one bath, and 864 square feet sit on one of the larger parcels in the area, giving you real breathing room at a practical footprint.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

The lot is the story here. At 0.23 acres, 110 Lydia Ave offers considerably more outdoor space than most homes of this era and size in Norfolk. Whether you're thinking raised garden beds, a fire pit setup, a storage shed, or just a wide backyard where kids and dogs can roam freely, the land gives you options that a typical small-square-footage home simply doesn't. The 1955 construction means solid bones and a single-story layout with no stairs to navigate.

River Forrest Shores and the Norfolk real estate market

River Forrest Shores is a quiet, established residential pocket in the eastern part of Norfolk — the kind of neighborhood where houses have been owned and cared for across generations. Streets here are calm, lots run generous, and the overall feel leans toward unpretentious and practical. It's not a flashy zip code, but it's a grounded one, and that has its own appeal. If you're looking to buy a house in Norfolk without landing in a dense urban corridor, this corner of the city delivers a suburban pace within city limits. Norfolk itself sits in independent city jurisdiction — not part of any surrounding county — and offers direct access to the broader Hampton Roads metro. From River Forrest Shores, you're well-positioned for the interstate, the waterfront, and everything in between. The neighborhood draws a mix of long-time residents and newcomers who appreciate the space-to-price dynamic that the east side of Norfolk consistently offers.

What's nearby

Daily life runs smoothly from 110 Lydia Ave. Haven Inn Bar & Grill is just 0.4 miles away for a casual dinner, and Ichran Japanese Ramen and Arby's are both under a mile when you want something quick. Tim Hortons and Cool Flames Cafe cover your morning coffee within 0.8 miles. For groceries, Trinidad Latin Store and Royal Bazaar Indian Asian Market are both 0.8 miles out, with a Dollar General at 1.0 mile for quick runs. Hampton Roads Sports Academy is practically around the corner at 0.2 miles, and Poplar Hall Park and Hunts Pointe Park are both under a mile for outdoor time. Top Flight Gymnastics Camp and Excalibur Gymnastics round out the active options nearby.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are both roughly 10 minutes from 110 Lydia Ave — a genuinely convenient commute by Hampton Roads standards. For service members using a VA loan or tracking BAH rates in the Norfolk area, a single-story home on a large lot with no HOA overhead is a practical, low-complexity ownership situation worth a close look.

For first-time buyers

If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, 110 Lydia Ave offers a manageable entry point — three bedrooms, a single bath, and a single-story layout that keeps maintenance straightforward. The 0.23-acre lot gives you room to grow into the property over time, and the established River Forrest Shores neighborhood means you're buying into a stable, long-standing community rather than a speculative one.

More buyer questions

How far is 110 Lydia Ave from USCG Base Portsmouth?

USCG Base Portsmouth is approximately 10 minutes from 110 Lydia Ave under normal traffic conditions. The route is straightforward and avoids most of the congestion that affects other parts of the Hampton Roads commute.

How far is 110 Lydia Ave from Norfolk Naval Shipyard?

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is also about 10 minutes away, making 110 Lydia Ave a well-positioned address for personnel assigned to either installation. Having two major bases within the same short drive window is a practical advantage.

What county is Norfolk, VA in?

Norfolk is an independent city in Virginia, meaning it is not part of any county — it operates as its own jurisdiction separate from surrounding localities like Chesapeake or Virginia Beach. This is common for older Virginia cities and affects how taxes, services, and governance are structured.

Is there an HOA at 110 Lydia Ave?

110 Lydia Ave is not part of a homeowners association, so there are no HOA rules or dues tied to the property. That gives owners full flexibility on how they use and modify the home and yard.

Does the 110 Lydia Ave area have flood risk?

Flood zone designation for this address is displayed in the dedicated FloodRisk tile on this page, which pulls current FEMA map data. It's worth reviewing before making any decisions, as flood zone status can affect insurance requirements.
