Why this home stands out
What sets 125 Rogers Avenue apart is its almost unbeatable proximity to two major military installations. Homes this close to both MARFORCOM Norfolk and Naval Station Norfolk are genuinely rare, and at 1,250 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths, the layout gives you real living space without the upkeep of a sprawling property. The 1920 construction era means character details you simply don't find in newer builds.
GLENWOOD PARK and the Norfolk real estate market
Rogers Avenue sits in a mature, established section of Norfolk, Virginia — a city that punches well above its weight in terms of history, waterfront access, and military significance. The Hampton Boulevard corridor running nearby is one of the city's main arteries, connecting you quickly to downtown Norfolk, the Ghent arts district, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. The surrounding blocks have the feel of a close-knit urban neighborhood: sidewalks, mature trees, and homes that have been part of the community for generations. Norfolk itself is the largest city in Hampton Roads and home to the world's largest naval station, which means the local economy, infrastructure, and community services are all built with a military-connected population in mind. Whether you're drawn to the waterfront parks along the Chesapeake Bay, the dining scene on Granby Street, or simply the convenience of living in the geographic heart of Hampton Roads, this address puts you right in the middle of it all.
