Why this home stands out
Six bedrooms in a single-family home is rare at any price point, and 1319 Tallwood Street delivers exactly that across 2,525 square feet of living space. Built in 1942, the home carries the sturdy construction quality of that era on a 0.26-acre lot that gives you real breathing room — front, back, and sides. Whether you need room for a large family, a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or all three at once, the floor plan here has answers most homes simply can't offer.
CHEROKEE HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market
Cherokee Heights sits in the northern stretch of Norfolk, a city of roughly 240,000 people anchored by one of the largest naval complexes in the world. The neighborhood has a settled, residential feel — mature trees, modest lot sizes that somehow feel spacious, and streets where people actually know their neighbors. It's not a flashy part of Norfolk, and that's exactly the point. Cherokee Heights attracts people who want a real home in a real neighborhood rather than a showpiece zip code. The broader East Ocean View corridor is minutes away, giving you easy access to the Chesapeake Bay waterfront without paying waterfront prices. Norfolk itself continues to invest in its parks, waterfront, and arts scene, and Cherokee Heights is well-positioned to benefit from that momentum without losing the low-key character that makes it worth living in.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are handled without much effort. Dollar General is just 0.2 miles away for quick household needs, and quick bites are covered by Zero's Subs and Krispy Krunchy Chicken, both within 0.3 miles. BellaZa rounds out the local dining options nearby. When you need a morning coffee run, Coaster Coffee and a 7-Eleven are both about 0.7 miles out, with a McDonald's at the same distance. Northside Park is under a mile away — a solid neighborhood park with shelters and open space that's easy to reach on foot or by bike on a weekend morning.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Eight minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and nine minutes to MARFORCOM makes 1319 Tallwood Street one of the more strategically located addresses in Cherokee Heights for active-duty households. Six bedrooms means everyone gets their own space — critical during deployments when routines matter. A VA loan can make a home this size more attainable than many families expect, and the commute math here is hard to beat.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown your current home and need real square footage — not just a slightly larger version of what you have — 1319 Tallwood Street is worth a serious look. Six bedrooms and three full baths across 2,525 square feet means you can stop making compromises about who shares a room or where the guests sleep. The quarter-acre lot adds outdoor space that growing families actually use.
