Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

Meet 1234 Maplewood Ave — a two-bedroom, one-bath home built in 1956 in Norfolk, Virginia 23503. At 1,078 square feet, it offers a compact, manageable footprint close to the water and two major bases. Anyone browsing Norfolk homes for sale will find this address hard to overlook.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 1234 Maplewood Ave apart is its rare combination of waterfront-adjacent living and base proximity. Lake Modoc sits just half a mile away, and Doc's Beach is under a mile. Naval Station Norfolk is about seven minutes by car. The 1956 construction gives the home solid mid-century bones, and the tight 23503 zip code puts daily errands, parks, and dining within easy reach on foot or by bike.

BAYVIEW BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

The 23503 zip code covers the northern edge of Norfolk, where modest mid-century homes line tree-shaded streets near the Chesapeake Bay shoreline. Houses here tend to be single-story brick or frame construction from the 1950s and 1960s. The blocks feel established and quiet, with mature landscaping and a neighborhood pace that slows down near the water. Lake Modoc and Community Beach Park anchor the eastern end of the area, giving the whole stretch a coastal character. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically rich cities in Virginia. It anchors the Hampton Roads metro and sits at the center of one of the largest naval complexes in the world. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 64 connects Norfolk to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth within minutes. The city's light rail line, The Tide, serves downtown Norfolk and the medical district. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23503 will notice how much this corner of the city punches above its size in terms of access and lifestyle.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from Maplewood Ave. Joan Brant is just 0.3 miles away for quick grocery runs, and both an Amoco and a bp station are within half a mile. Hungry? Peppers Indian Cuisine and El Rey Taqueria are each about half a mile out, and Krispy Krunchy Chicken is right there too. Three 7-Eleven locations sit within a mile for coffee and convenience. Lake Modoc and Doc's Beach are both under a mile, making an after-work walk to the water a real option. Community Beach Park rounds out the outdoor lineup at 0.8 miles.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Station Norfolk is about seven minutes away, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is roughly eight. That kind of commute window is short by any standard in Hampton Roads. VA loan financing is common in this zip code, and the home's straightforward layout means fewer surprises during the inspection and appraisal process. Both bases are reachable without touching the interstate on most routes.

For first-time buyers

A two-bedroom, one-bath layout at 1,078 square feet is a manageable size for a first purchase. The 1956 build means the home has had decades to settle, and mid-century construction in this zip code tends to be straightforward brick or frame. Proximity to parks, grocery, and dining on foot keeps car dependence low. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Norview High School or homes for sale zoned for Oceanair Elementary will find this address sits squarely in that attendance area.
