Why this home stands out
Six bedrooms is genuinely rare in this part of Norfolk. Whether you need space for a growing family, a dedicated home office, a gym, or a guest suite that actually feels like a guest suite, 1319 Tallwood ST gives you options most homes in the 23518 zip code simply can't match. The 0.26-acre lot adds breathing room front and back, and the 1942 build means solid construction with character details that newer builds rarely replicate.
CHEROKEE HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market
Cherokee Heights sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk — a quiet, established residential pocket where mid-century homes line wide streets and neighbors tend to stay for years. The area has a grounded, no-fuss character: mature trees, modest front yards, and a strong sense of place that newer subdivisions spend decades trying to cultivate. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, anchored by one of the world's largest naval installations and surrounded by water on nearly every side. Living in Cherokee Heights puts you close to the energy of the city while keeping you insulated from its busiest corridors. If you're comparing Norfolk homes for sale across different neighborhoods, Cherokee Heights stands out for its lot sizes, its proximity to the base, and its straightforward access to I-64 — making it a practical choice whether your commute runs military or civilian.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Eight minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and nine to MARFORCOM Norfolk — that's a commute that makes a real difference over the course of a deployment cycle. Six bedrooms means there's room for family members who visit during homecomings, a dedicated workspace for remote duty tasks, and space that flexes as your family's needs shift. A VA loan can make a home like this even more accessible for eligible service members.
For families upgrading
If your current home has three or four bedrooms and you've been running out of room, 1319 Tallwood ST is the kind of step up that actually solves the problem.

Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Norview High School and homes for sale zoned for Bay View Elementary will find this address falls within those attendance zones.
