1350 Kingston Ave, Norfolk, VA 23503

Why this home stands out

Four bedrooms and three full baths in 1,706 square feet is a notably efficient layout for a mid-century Norfolk home — you get the room count of a much larger house without the sprawl. Add an eight-minute drive to Naval Station Norfolk, walkable beach access at Grove St. Beach, and a neighborhood that has been quietly holding its own for decades, and 1350 Kingston Avenue earns a second look from a wide range of buyers.

BAYVIEW BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

Kingston Avenue sits in the Bay View corridor of northern Norfolk — a stretch of the city where the Chesapeake Bay is close enough that you can smell it on a good breeze. The streets here are lined with mid-century ranches and Cape Cods that have aged into genuine character, and the pace feels residential without feeling remote. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast: a working waterfront, a serious arts scene anchored by the Chrysler Museum, and a military presence that shapes the local economy and community in equal measure. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land in this zip code because it threads the needle between proximity to the bases and proximity to the bay. The 23503 zip code has a tight-knit feel — neighbors tend to know each other, and the streets stay quiet enough that kids actually play outside.

What's nearby

Grove St. Beach Access is 0.3 miles away — a genuine Chesapeake Bay beach you can walk to on a weekday afternoon. Doc's Beach and Lake Modoc add two more outdoor options within a mile. For a quick dinner, Peppers Indian Cuisine is 0.4 miles out, and Big Boss Burritos 2 covers the other end of the flavor spectrum at 0.9 miles. The 7-Eleven at 0.4 miles handles coffee and convenience runs without getting in the car. Grocery options in the immediate area are limited to smaller stops like Joan Brant at 0.7 miles, so a weekly grocery run will take you a bit farther — something worth factoring in.
