Why this home stands out
At over 3,000 square feet, 1205 Godfrey Avenue delivers room that most homes in this price band simply can't match — four bedrooms, three full baths, and a footprint built for real life rather than a showroom. Constructed in 2005, it carries the structural advantages of modern building codes without the premium of new construction. The combination of size, age, and location near two major military installations makes this address genuinely rare in Norfolk's inner-city market.
BROAD CREEK and the Norfolk real estate market
Godfrey Avenue sits within Norfolk's Broad Creek corridor, a working residential fabric of mid-century blocks and early-2000s infill that has been quietly gaining momentum. The area is anchored by the Broad Creek waterway and its surrounding green spaces, giving the neighborhood a grounded, lived-in character that newer master-planned communities can't replicate. Norfolk itself is one of the most strategically connected cities on the East Coast — home to the world's largest naval station and a dense web of military and federal installations that shape everything from the local economy to the commute calculus for service members. City amenities like the Chrysler Museum, the Waterside District, and a growing restaurant scene are all within a short drive. The 1205 Godfrey Avenue Norfolk VA 23504 address puts you close enough to downtown to enjoy it, but far enough away to come home to something quiet.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from Godfrey Avenue. A BP station sits just 0.2 miles away for quick stops, and a Walmart Neighborhood Market is about a mile out for a fuller grocery run. Military Produce Group LLC, a local staple for fresh produce, is under a mile away. When you want food fast, Domino's Pizza is 0.3 miles out, and SA&H Philly Steak and Hoagie food truck is just around the corner at 0.4 miles. For fitness, the Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads — a full-service recreation facility — is only 0.6 miles away. Broad Creek Park, Chesterfield Heights Park, and Broad Creek Legacy Park are all within half a mile, giving you three distinct green spaces for walks, runs, or weekend afternoons outside.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly a 5-minute drive from 1205 Godfrey Avenue, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about 6 minutes out. For active-duty families, that kind of proximity to two installations is hard to find in a home this size. A VA loan can make a 3,008-square-foot home more accessible than many families expect — and this address keeps commutes short regardless of which installation you're assigned to.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and three full baths across 3,008 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and then some. Whether you need a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or room for a growing family, 1205 Godfrey Avenue has the square footage to make it work. Three parks within half a mile add outdoor breathing room that smaller lots in denser neighborhoods simply can't offer.
