Why this home stands out

What sets 1305 Merrimac Avenue apart is the combination of genuine square footage and a location that almost nothing else in this price band can match. At 2,488 square feet with four bedrooms and a half bath on top of two full baths, there's room for everyone — and USCG Base Portsmouth is a five-minute drive away. Homes for sale in 23504 rarely stack up size, convenience, and base proximity this cleanly.

BROAD CREEK and the Norfolk real estate market

Merrimac Avenue sits in a working, walkable corner of Norfolk — a city that rewards people who like to be in the middle of things. The surrounding blocks have the unhurried feel of a mid-century neighborhood that has aged into something comfortable and lived-in, with mature trees lining streets of mostly single-family homes. Norfolk itself is one of the most strategically connected cities on the East Coast: the water is never far, downtown is accessible, and the military presence woven through the city means the infrastructure — roads, healthcare, commissaries — is built to handle real demand. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk quickly notice that this part of the city punches above its weight on convenience without asking you to trade away space or character. The 23504 zip code is genuinely central, which means you spend less time in the car and more time wherever you actually want to be.

What's nearby

Daily errands are almost embarrassingly easy from Merrimac Avenue. A Walmart Neighborhood Market is just 0.3 miles away, and Military Produce Group LLC — a commissary-adjacent resource many service families appreciate — is 0.7 miles out. When you want food fast, Fabio's Pizza & Delivery is literally 0.1 miles from your front door, and a Wawa covers both a quick meal and a morning coffee run at 0.4 miles. Broad Creek Park and Broad Creek Legacy Park are both 0.4 miles away, giving you green space and trails without a drive. The Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads — one of the most impressive community recreation facilities in Hampton Roads — is just 0.1 miles away, with pools, fitness floors, and programming that rivals private gyms.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

USCG Base Portsmouth is five minutes from your driveway, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is six. For a household running on military schedules, that kind of proximity changes daily life in ways that compound over a tour. VA loan eligibility makes the math on a four-bedroom home like this one worth a close look — four bedrooms means space for a home office, a guest room, or a growing family without feeling squeezed.

Room to grow

If your current home has you counting square footage and wishing for one more bedroom, 1305 Merrimac Avenue answers that directly: 2,488 square feet, four bedrooms, two full baths plus a half bath, and a 1953 build that means real walls and real rooms — not the open-plan squeeze of newer construction. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Norview High School and homes for sale zoned for Richard Bowling Elementary School will find this address lands squarely in that zone.
