1336 W 39th St, Norfolk, VA 23508

Why this home stands out

What sets this address apart is the combination of a walkable, campus-adjacent location and genuinely quick access to two major military installations. Lambert's Point sits at a crossroads where ODU's energy meets established Norfolk residential streets, giving you coffee shops, parks, and grocery options within a half-mile in almost every direction — all from a low-maintenance footprint that's easier to manage than most.

LAMBERTS POINT and the Norfolk real estate market

Lambert's Point is one of Norfolk's most recognizable close-in neighborhoods, occupying a peninsula between the Lafayette River and Hampton Boulevard just west of Old Dominion University. The streets here have a lived-in, community feel — sidewalks, mature trees, and neighbors who actually know each other. It's the kind of place where you can walk to grab coffee in the morning and be at a waterfront park by afternoon. People often ask what county is the city of norfolk va in — and the answer is that Norfolk is an independent city, meaning it operates entirely outside any county structure, which affects everything from tax jurisdiction to school administration. That independence gives Norfolk its own distinct civic identity. Lambert's Point reflects that identity well: it's neither suburb nor downtown, but something in between — a real neighborhood with real texture. Hampton Boulevard serves as the main artery, connecting you north toward Naval Station Norfolk and south toward downtown Portsmouth, making the broader Hampton Roads region feel genuinely accessible from your front door.
