Why this home stands out

Homes with genuine mid-century bones and over 2,400 square feet are harder to find in this part of Norfolk than you might expect. At 1305 Merrimac Ave, you get four real bedrooms, a half-bath in addition to two full baths, and the kind of solid 1953 construction that was built to last. The location seals the deal — two major military installations within six minutes, a full grocery run under half a mile away, and a community recreation center practically at your doorstep.

BROAD CREEK and the Norfolk real estate market

Merrimac Ave sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk that punches well above its weight for everyday convenience. The surrounding streets carry that classic postwar neighborhood feel — mature trees, established lots, and a mix of long-time owners and families who discovered this part of the city and never left. Norfolk itself is one of the most dynamic cities on the East Coast, anchored by a deep military presence, a growing arts and dining scene downtown, and direct access to the broader Hampton Roads region via a web of bridges and tunnels. This corner of the city keeps you close to Portsmouth without sacrificing the energy and amenities that come with living in Norfolk proper. Daily errands are genuinely walkable, green space is steps away, and you're never far from the waterfront culture that defines life in coastal Virginia.

What's nearby

Step outside 1305 Merrimac Ave and everything you need is within reach. Fabio's Pizza & Delivery is just 0.1 miles away for an easy weeknight dinner, and the Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads — a full-scale community gym and recreation facility — is equally close. Broad Creek Park and Broad Creek Legacy Park are both 0.4 miles out, giving you green space for morning runs or weekend afternoons. Grocery runs are quick: a Walmart Neighborhood Market sits 0.3 miles away, with additional options at Military Produce Group LLC just 0.7 miles out. Wawa covers your coffee and quick-stop needs at 0.4 miles, and Webco Hale offers another solid dining option nearby.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

With USCG Base Portsmouth just five minutes away and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth six minutes out, 1305 Merrimac Ave is one of the most commute-friendly addresses in the area for active-duty households. Four bedrooms give growing families real room to spread out, and a VA loan can make the path to ownership here more straightforward than many expect. This is the kind of location that makes PCS season a little less stressful.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown your current space, 2,488 square feet across four bedrooms and 2.1 baths gives everyone in the household room to breathe. The 1953 construction means solid walls and real square footage — not the compressed layouts common in newer builds. Add a community recreation center within walking distance and a park less than half a mile out, and you have a home that supports an active, connected family life from day one.
