1124 Little Bay Ave, Norfolk, VA 23503

Why this home stands out

What sets 1124 Little Bay Ave apart is the combination of a newer build — 2014 construction means modern systems and finishes — and a location that almost no other Norfolk homes for sale can match: two public beach access points within half a mile, a waterfront restaurant around the corner, and one of the region's largest naval installations a four-minute drive away. That's a genuinely rare trifecta in this zip code.

WILLOUGHBY BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

Little Bay Ave sits in the Willoughby section of Ocean View, a peninsula neighborhood on the northern edge of Norfolk where Chesapeake Bay breezes roll in year-round and the pace of life feels a step removed from the city's bustle — even though you're firmly inside it. The streets here have a tight-knit, coastal character: modest lots, neighbors who wave, and a genuine sense that the water is always close. Norfolk as a whole is one of the most historically layered cities in Virginia, home to a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene in the NEON District, and the kind of deep military roots that shape everything from local culture to commute patterns. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often discover that Ocean View offers something the more landlocked zip codes simply can't — that easy, everyday access to the bay that makes a neighborhood feel like a destination.

When you want sand underfoot, 12th View Beach Access is a 0.3-mile walk, and 13th View Street Beach Access adds another option at 0.5 miles.
