1400 W Ocean View Ave #A, Norfolk, VA 23503

Why this home stands out

What sets 1400 W Ocean View Ave #A apart is the combination that almost never lines up: a newer-construction home (2014) with real square footage, three full baths, and a location that puts you within walking distance of two public beach-access points and a handful of waterfront spots to eat and unwind — all while sitting three minutes from the main gate of Naval Station Norfolk. That's a rare trifecta in this zip code.

WILLOUGHBY BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

Ocean View is one of Norfolk's most quietly compelling stretches of coastline. The neighborhood runs along the southern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, and the vibe here is genuinely laid-back — think morning walks to the water, neighbors who know each other's names, and a skyline that trades downtown towers for open bay views. W Ocean View Avenue is the spine of it all, a broad boulevard that connects the community to the rest of the city without ever feeling like a commuter corridor. Norfolk itself is a city with serious depth: a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene anchored by the Chrysler Museum, and a military presence that gives the local economy a stability you can feel. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often discover Ocean View late — and then wonder why they didn't look here first. The 23503 zip code sits at the northern tip of the city, which means easy access to both the base and the bay, and that combination keeps demand steady year after year.

Beach access is genuinely close — the 13th View Street Beach Access point is about 0.2 miles away, and 12th View Beach Access is just 0.3 miles in the other direction, so the water is part of your daily routine rather than a weekend destination.

Daily errands stay manageable, and the broader Hampton Roads highway network is accessible without a long surface-street crawl.
