Why this home stands out
What sets 1109 Buckingham Ave apart is its rare combination of size and location. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths give you genuine room to spread out, while the 1977 construction means solid bones and a floor plan that actually breathes. Grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants are all within a quarter mile, and two major military installations are reachable in a single-digit commute — a pairing that's hard to find among Norfolk homes for sale at this address's scale.
LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market
Buckingham Ave sits in a walkable, established pocket of Norfolk that hugs the western edge of Old Dominion University's campus. The street has a lived-in, community feel — mature trees, a mix of longtime residents and newer arrivals, and a neighborhood rhythm that feels genuinely residential rather than transient. You're in the 23508 zip code, one of Norfolk's more centrally connected corners, with easy reach to the medical district, the waterfront, and downtown. Norfolk itself is a city with real texture: a working naval port, a growing arts and restaurant scene, and neighborhoods that range from Victorian-era bungalows to mid-century ranch homes. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land here because the city delivers urban convenience without asking you to sacrifice yard space or square footage. The broader Larchmont-Edgewater area nearby adds another layer of charm, with tree-lined blocks and independent shops that give the whole west side of the city a distinct, unhurried character.
What's nearby
Daily errands practically handle themselves from Buckingham Ave. Miller's Neighborhood Market, The Ten Top Market, and Westside Produce and Provisions are all within three-tenths of a mile — serious walkability for grocery runs. When it's time to eat out, Nash & Smashed, Halal Munchies, and Wings Go are each about two blocks away. Coffee is covered by Voyager Coffee and Borjo Coffeehouse nearby, or a quick stop at the 7-Eleven. For fitness, Universal Combat Center and GUD Yoga are both 0.3 miles out, with Tidewater Gymnastics Academy a half-mile away. ODU Kaufman Mall and Brick Field offer open green space just steps from the front door.
