1336 W 39th St, Norfolk, VA 23508

Why this home stands out

Built in 1988, 1336 W 39th Street sits on a quiet residential block where Lambert's Point's grid-street character keeps everything close without feeling crowded. The lot is compact by design, which means less maintenance and more time actually living in the neighborhood. Two full baths in a three-bedroom home at this size is a practical advantage that many comparable footprints skip — and the proximity to both Portsmouth bases makes this address genuinely strategic for military households weighing Norfolk homes for sale.

LAMBERTS POINT and the Norfolk real estate market

Lambert's Point is one of Norfolk's older, tightly woven urban neighborhoods, bordered by the Lafayette River to the north and Old Dominion University's campus to the south. The streets here have a lived-in rhythm — neighbors know each other, front porches see real use, and the walkability score reflects a layout that predates car dependency. Norfolk as a city brings a lot to the table: a working waterfront, a serious arts scene anchored by the Chrysler Museum, and a military presence that shapes the economy and community in equal measure. Lambert's Point sits close enough to downtown Norfolk to benefit from all of that energy while maintaining its own quieter identity. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land here because the neighborhood delivers urban convenience without the density of the Ghent or downtown corridors. The 23508 zip code covers a stretch of the city that includes ODU's academic footprint, which adds a layer of walkable retail and services that most purely residential zip codes don't have.
