Why this home stands out
What sets 1117 Buckingham Ave apart is the combination of pre-war character — think solid construction, generous room proportions, and the kind of architectural detail you simply don't find in newer builds — paired with a location that makes daily errands genuinely effortless. At 2,520 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's real room to spread out, and the 1935 bones give the home a warmth and presence that modern construction rarely replicates.
LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market
Buckingham Avenue sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Norfolk that borders the Old Dominion University campus corridor — a pocket of the city known for its walkability, eclectic local businesses, and a genuine neighborhood feel that keeps long-term residents rooted here for decades. If you've been searching for homes to buy in Norfolk that offer both urban convenience and a real sense of place, this stretch of the city delivers. The surrounding blocks are a mix of early-twentieth-century single-family homes and low-rise residential buildings, giving the streetscape a human scale that's increasingly rare. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct neighborhoods, waterfront culture, and a deep military heritage, and this part of town sits comfortably close to everything — downtown, the medical district, the waterfront — without the congestion of living right in the middle of it. Residents here tend to walk more, drive less, and actually know their neighbors.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life is genuinely low-effort from Buckingham Avenue. Miller's Neighborhood Market is just 0.3 miles away for quick grocery runs, with The Ten Top Market and Westside Produce and Provisions both within half a mile for more variety. When you want to eat out, Nash & Smashed and Halal Munchies are a short walk, and Jersey Mike's Subs is right there too. Starbucks and Voyager Coffee are both under half a mile for your morning routine. For fitness, you've got options: Universal Combat Center, GUD Yoga, and the ODU Student Recreation & Well-Being Center are all within 0.7 miles. Virginia Park and Brick Field are both within two blocks.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and seven minutes to Naval Station Norfolk — that's a commute that genuinely changes your daily quality of life. A VA loan can make a four-bedroom, pre-war home like this one more accessible than many families expect, and the extra square footage means everyone gets their own space, whether you're on deployment rotation or settling in for a longer tour.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and 2,520 square feet give a growing family real room to breathe — dedicated space for a home office, a guest room, or a playroom without anyone feeling squeezed. The 1935 construction means thick walls, solid floors, and a layout that was designed for actual family living, not just square footage on paper. Add walkable parks and groceries, and the everyday logistics of family life get noticeably easier.
