Why this home stands out

This classic 1928 home delivers authentic character with solid bones and a compact, efficient layout. You're steps from Harbor Park and the energy of downtown Norfolk's restaurant and café scene. The location cuts your commute to the waterfront bases to mere minutes—a rare find among Norfolk homes for sale. Three bedrooms and one bath make this a genuine starter or downsizer option, not a stretched compromise.

BERKLEY and the Norfolk real estate market

Bellamy Ave sits in a tight-knit, walkable neighborhood where neighbors know each other and foot traffic is normal. Tree-lined streets and vintage homes from the early 1900s set the tone. You're in central Norfolk, just blocks from Harbor Park and the South Main Street Playground. Coffee shops like Vessel City Hall and Neptune's Fury Cafe & Roastery are a short walk away. Grocery options including Berkley Center and E. Palmer supermarket sit under a mile out. The neighborhood has a lived-in, authentic feel—not polished, but real. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23523 will notice how walkable this pocket is. Getting around Norfolk is easy from here: the bases are minutes away, and downtown entertainment is within walking distance or a quick drive.
