Why this home stands out
What sets 131 Dupre Ave apart is the combination of genuine size — 2,220 square feet across four bedrooms — and an almost unbeatable location. You're five minutes from one of the largest naval installations in the world, a short walk to the beach, and surrounded by a walkable cluster of restaurants, grocers, and fitness studios that most Norfolk addresses can't match. The 1967 construction gives the home solid bones and generous room proportions you rarely find at this square footage.
OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market
131 Dupre Ave sits in the Ocean View corridor of Norfolk — a stretch of the city that has quietly become one of its most livable pockets. The neighborhood runs along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, giving it a distinctly coastal personality without the price premium of Virginia Beach. Streets here are lined with mid-century homes that have aged well, and the community has a genuine, unpretentious character. If you're browsing norfolk va houses for sale and want proximity to both water and work, this part of the city checks both boxes. Norfolk itself is a major East Coast hub — home to the world's largest naval base, a thriving arts scene, and a waterfront downtown that keeps growing. The Ocean View area specifically benefits from easy access to I-64 and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, making the broader region — Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Hampton — all reachable within a reasonable drive. It's the kind of address that works whether you're here for a two-year tour or planting roots for the long term.
