Why this home stands out
What sets 124 Bristol Avenue apart is its dual-base convenience — both USCG Base Portsmouth and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story are an eleven-minute drive away, making gate-to-door commutes genuinely short. The 1973 construction era means solid bones and established lot sizing, while 1,532 square feet across three bedrooms gives you room to breathe without the overhead of a sprawling footprint.
EASTON FOREST and the Norfolk real estate market
124 Bristol Avenue sits in the heart of Norfolk, Virginia — a city shaped as much by its waterways as by its neighborhoods. This part of Norfolk, near the 23502 zip code, carries the character of a mature, mid-century residential area: tree-lined streets, established yards, and a mix of longtime owners and newer households who appreciate the city's accessibility. Norfolk itself is one of the most dynamic cities on the East Coast, home to the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts district, and a waterfront that draws visitors and residents alike. Day-to-day life here moves at a comfortable pace. Grocery runs, coffee stops, and evening errands are all close at hand. The broader Norfolk grid connects you quickly to Interstate 64, which opens up the entire Hampton Roads region — Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth — within a reasonable drive. For a city of its size, Norfolk punches well above its weight in parks, dining, and cultural programming, and Bristol Avenue puts you squarely in reach of all of it.
What's nearby
Daily errands from 124 Bristol Avenue are straightforward. The surrounding Norfolk corridors offer grocery options, pharmacies, and quick-service dining within a short drive. Military commissary access through JEB Little Creek-Fort Story adds another practical layer for eligible households. Lakewood Park and other green spaces in the broader area give you outdoor options without a long commute. Interstate 64 on-ramps nearby connect you to the full Hampton Roads region — Virginia Beach's oceanfront, downtown Norfolk's Granby Street dining scene, and the Portsmouth waterfront are all reachable in under twenty minutes on most days.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Eleven minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth and eleven minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story — that kind of dual-base proximity is genuinely rare. For a military household weighing a VA loan purchase in Norfolk, 124 Bristol Avenue checks the commute box without forcing a compromise on space. Three bedrooms, over 1,500 square feet, and a location that keeps both gates well within reach.
For first-time buyers
If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, 124 Bristol Avenue offers a grounded starting point. Three bedrooms and 1,532 square feet give you room to grow, and the 1973 build era means you're working with an established neighborhood rather than a brand-new development still finding its identity. Norfolk's accessibility — to jobs, to bases, to the broader region — makes this zip code a sensible place to put down roots.
