1442 W Ocean View Ave, Norfolk, VA 23503

Why this home stands out

Scale and location rarely line up like this. At 5,500 square feet with five full baths across five bedrooms, 1442 W Ocean View Ave gives large households genuine room to breathe — without sacrificing proximity to the water or the base. Built in 2007, the home sits in a stretch of Norfolk where beach access points are measured in tenths of a mile, and two waterfront restaurants are practically next door.

WILLOUGHBY BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

West Ocean View is one of Norfolk's most distinctive coastal corridors — a neighborhood where residential streets dead-end at the Chesapeake Bay and the Willoughby Spit stretches out toward the horizon. The area has a relaxed, unhurried character that's hard to replicate elsewhere in city of norfolk real estate: neighbors walk to the water in the morning, grab seafood for dinner down the block, and still make it to base in under five minutes. W Ocean View Avenue itself is the main artery running along this shoreline, putting 1442 at the center of everything the neighborhood offers. Norfolk is a city of distinct communities, and West Ocean View stands apart for how naturally it blends waterfront living with everyday practicality. The bay breezes are real, the sunsets over the water are a daily backdrop, and the sense of space — both inside this home and out on the water — is genuinely rare at this end of Hampton Roads.
