Why this home stands out
Most condos promise walkability and deliver a parking lot. Unit P9 at 123 College Place delivers the real thing: a grocery store 0.1 miles away, three restaurants at street level, two coffee shops within a few steps, and a gym a short walk down the block. Built in 2007 and offering 1,763 square feet across two full floors, this is downtown Norfolk living without the compromises.
DOWNTOWN AREA and the Norfolk real estate market
College Place sits at the energetic core of downtown Norfolk, Virginia — a neighborhood that draws professionals, creatives, and military families who want to live inside the city rather than commute to it. Granby Street's dining and nightlife corridor is steps away, and the Elizabeth River waterfront is a short walk in the other direction. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, home to the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts scene anchored by the Chrysler Museum of Art, and a downtown that has been steadily reinventing itself for over a decade. For those comparing Norfolk homes for sale, the 23510 zip code sits at the geographic and cultural center of it all — close to everything the region offers without sacrificing the energy of an urban address.
What's nearby
Step outside and daily life is already handled. Macarthur General Store and Mercato Di Grazia are both within 0.1 miles for quick grocery runs, and Amale Tre Focacceria & Italian Deli is 0.2 miles away when you want something more curated. The Vhault, Chichos, and Bonchon Norfolk are essentially neighbors. Coffee is covered by The Campus Café, aLatte Cafe, and Tropical Smoothie Cafe — all within a few steps. Gym Downtown and Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios are 0.1 miles away, and Furry Friends Yoga rounds out the fitness options. Reading Garden, College Plaza, and the Granby Street Public Parklet give you green space without leaving the block.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and USCG Base Portsmouth are each about two minutes away — a commute so short it changes how you plan your day. For a military household weighing VA loan options and trying to minimize drive time, homes for sale in 23510 rarely land this close to two major installations at once. The urban setting also means a working spouse or partner has the whole city at their fingertips.
For first-time buyers
If you are exploring homes for sale in Norfolk for the first time, a downtown condo built in 2007 with 1,763 square feet is a strong starting point. You get the square footage of a townhome, the low-maintenance lifestyle of a condo, and a location where you can walk to nearly everything — groceries, coffee, dinner, the gym — without getting in a car.
