Why this home stands out
What sets 1300 Shaw Place apart is the sheer amount of space you get for a mid-century Norfolk address: 2,830 square feet spread across a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layout built in 1963, when rooms were designed to actually breathe. Two major military installations sit within eight minutes, and a walkable cluster of parks, dining, and daily errands fills out the surrounding blocks — making this one of the more well-rounded homes for sale in Norfolk's 23509 zip code.
LAKEWOOD and the Norfolk real estate market
Shaw Place sits in the heart of Norfolk, Virginia — a city that punches well above its weight in terms of history, waterfront character, and everyday livability. The 23509 zip code occupies a central swath of the city, close enough to downtown to enjoy its energy while tucked into a residential rhythm that feels genuinely neighborhood-scaled. Streets here carry the quiet confidence of mid-century construction: mature trees, established lots, and homes that were built to last. Norfolk itself is one of the anchor cities of the Hampton Roads metro, home to the world's largest naval base and a thriving arts and dining scene along Granby Street and the Waterside District. Whether you commute to the naval installations, work downtown, or simply want a well-connected address in a city with real bones, Norfolk homes for sale in this corridor offer something that newer suburban developments rarely can — a sense of place that has already stood the test of time.
