Why this home stands out
Homes built in 1930 rarely come with this much usable space. At 2,500 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths, 1330 Buckingham Ave sits in a sweet spot: enough room for a growing household, a home office, or out-of-town guests, wrapped in the kind of solid craftsmanship — thick plaster walls, period detailing, mature lot — that newer construction simply cannot replicate. This block has roots, and it shows.
LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market
Buckingham Avenue sits inside the Larchmont-Edgewater corridor, one of Norfolk's most enduring residential pockets. The neighborhood draws its identity from the Old Dominion University campus edge to the north and the Lafayette River greenway to the south, creating a walkable, tree-lined environment that feels genuinely settled. Streets here are wide, sidewalks are consistent, and neighbors tend to stay — which keeps the block stable in ways that newer subdivisions rarely achieve. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct districts, and this one rewards people who want urban convenience without sacrificing a real yard and a real house. Whether you're comparing Norfolk homes for sale across multiple zip codes or zeroing in on 23508 specifically, Larchmont-Edgewater consistently surfaces as a neighborhood worth a second look. The city's Botanical Garden, the Hague, and the Ghent dining district are all reachable in under fifteen minutes, making 1330 Buckingham Ave a genuinely central address in a genuinely interesting city.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy from this address. Miller's Neighborhood Market is half a mile out for quick grocery runs, and The Ten Top Market is under a mile away.

For a fast lunch, Subway and Panda Express are both within a third of a mile. Bluestone Playground is 0.2 miles away, Brick Field is 0.3 miles, and the Bolling Avenue Lookout offers a quick outdoor reset at the same distance. The ODU Student Recreation & Well-Being Center is 0.3 miles out — a full fitness facility that's hard to beat for proximity.
