Why this home stands out
Built in 2012, this home skips the guesswork that comes with older construction — systems, finishes, and layout all reflect a more modern era of homebuilding. The half-bath adds everyday practicality, and at 1,576 square feet, the floor plan is efficient without feeling cramped. The location is genuinely hard to beat: USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes away, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is five.
BARRAUD PARK and the Norfolk real estate market
Cary Ave sits within the broader Norfolk city fabric — a place where older, established blocks meet pockets of newer infill construction like this 2012 build. Norfolk itself is one of the most storied cities on the East Coast, shaped by its deep military heritage, waterfront character, and a downtown that has seen steady reinvestment over the past decade. If you're searching for a norfolk home for sale that puts you close to both work and everyday life, this part of the city delivers. The surrounding streets have a lived-in, community feel — neighbors who know each other, mature trees lining the sidewalks, and proximity to the commercial corridors that keep daily errands short. Norfolk's position at the center of Hampton Roads means you're never far from the water, the region's major employers, or the cultural amenities that make this metro one of the most dynamic in Virginia.

Downtown Norfolk's restaurants, Waterside District, and the MacArthur Center area are all accessible within fifteen to twenty minutes, giving you a full range of dining and entertainment without a long commute.
