Why this home stands out
Most homes this close to Naval Station Norfolk were built decades ago. 142 Filbert Street is different — constructed in 2021, it brings current building standards, updated mechanicals, and a contemporary layout to a location that veterans and active-duty families have competed over for years. Three bedrooms, two full baths, a half bath, and 1,759 square feet give you real room to live without the maintenance surprises that come with older stock.
SUBURBAN PARK ACRES and the Norfolk real estate market
Filbert Street sits in a working Norfolk neighborhood that punches above its weight for everyday convenience. The surrounding streets have a mix of established homes and newer construction, giving the area a sense of ongoing investment rather than stagnation. Norfolk itself is one of the most strategically located cities on the East Coast — home to the world's largest naval station, a growing downtown waterfront, and a road network that connects you to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the Peninsula without much drama. The zip code, 23505, is a practical sweet spot: close enough to the base that a seven-minute commute is genuinely achievable on a normal morning, yet far enough from gate traffic that your street stays quiet. Neighbors here tend to be a mix of long-timers who know everyone and newer arrivals drawn by the same access and value proposition that makes this corner of Norfolk worth a serious look.

Dinner choices within a mile include T'San Japanese Restaurant, R and C Chicken and Seafood, and Lindy's Famous Hotdogs, a local institution. A Starbucks Coffee Company sits one mile out when you need a proper morning coffee, and a 7-Eleven covers the quick stop just under a mile away.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and seven minutes to MARFORCOM Norfolk — that kind of dual-base access is hard to find in one address. For active-duty households managing unpredictable schedules, short gate-to-door commutes matter. A VA loan can make a 2021-built home like this one even more accessible, and the modern construction means fewer maintenance surprises during a tour cycle.
For first-time buyers
If you're buying for the first time, a 2021-built home removes a lot of the uncertainty that comes with older properties — the roof, HVAC, and systems are all recent. At 1,759 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's genuine room to grow here. The neighborhood's proximity to parks, groceries, and restaurants means daily life is manageable without a car for every errand.
