Why this home stands out
Not many addresses put you three minutes from both USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard simultaneously — that dual-base proximity is genuinely rare and makes daily commutes almost a non-issue for service members. Layer on top of that a home with over a century of construction history, solid bones from an era when builders took their time, and you have something the newer subdivisions simply cannot replicate.
CAMPOSTELLA and the Norfolk real estate market
Colon Avenue sits in the southern reaches of Norfolk, a part of the city that tends to fly under the radar compared to the waterfront districts up north — but that's part of the appeal. The streets here are established, the lots are real, and the neighbors have often been around long enough to actually know each other. This corner of Norfolk carries the kind of lived-in authenticity that newer developments spend years trying to manufacture. If you've been browsing homes for sale in norfolk va 23503, you already know how much variety this city packs into its zip codes — and the 23523 corridor offers a grounded, no-frills version of Norfolk living that prioritizes access over amenity overload. The city of Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered in Virginia, shaped by the military, the water, and generations of working families who built something lasting here.
What's nearby
Getting around from 1502 Colon Avenue is straightforward. The interchange at I-264 and I-64 is close, making the rest of Hampton Roads reachable without drama. Downtown Norfolk is a short drive north, bringing with it the restaurants, waterfront, and cultural venues along Granby Street and the Freemason District. Everyday errands are handled by the commercial corridors along Military Highway and Tidewater Drive, where you'll find grocery options, pharmacies, and the usual daily-life infrastructure. Portsmouth's downtown waterfront and its own set of dining and retail options are also just across the river and easy to reach.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Three minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth and three minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard — that's not a typo. For a service member juggling duty station changes and tight schedules, this kind of proximity to two major installations is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. A VA loan can make ownership here very accessible, and the short commute means more time at home and less time in Hampton Roads traffic.
For first-time buyers
A 1910-built home with real character, three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,328 square feet gives a first-time buyer a meaningful amount of space to grow into. Southern Norfolk is one of the more approachable entry points into real estate norfolk va has to offer — established streets, genuine community feel, and proximity to major employers without the premium price tags of the waterfront neighborhoods.
