Why this home stands out
What sets 1504 Shelton Ave apart is the combination of post-2000 construction and a generous 2,200-square-foot floor plan in a part of Norfolk where older, smaller homes dominate. Four true bedrooms and a half bath give households real flexibility — a dedicated home office, a guest room, or a playroom without anyone having to double up. You're also within nine minutes of two major military installations, which is a rare find among Norfolk homes for sale at this size.
FOX HALL RES PARK and the Norfolk real estate market
Shelton Ave sits in the eastern corridor of Norfolk, a city that punches well above its size when it comes to character, coastline, and convenience. This part of the 23502 zip code has a grounded, residential feel — wide streets, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay put. You're close enough to the action of downtown Norfolk and the waterfront to enjoy it on weekends, but far enough away that daily life stays quiet. Norfolk itself is one of the anchor cities of Hampton Roads, home to the world's largest naval station, a walkable arts district in Ghent, and a revitalized downtown waterfront. The city's transit network and highway access make getting around the broader region straightforward, whether you're heading to Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, or Chesapeake. Families comparing homes for sale in 23502 will find this corridor offers solid value relative to the square footage and proximity to employment centers on both sides of the Elizabeth River.

For staying active, North FoxHall FitLot Outdoor Fitness Park offers free outdoor equipment at 0.4 miles, 1STRING Sports Training is just a half mile out, and North Foxhall Playground is a short walk for younger kids.
For different buyers
Room to grow
Four bedrooms and 2,200 square feet built in 2005 means you're getting modern construction bones — not a 1960s ranch that needs a full systems overhaul. The half bath keeps morning routines from becoming a bottleneck, and the neighborhood's proximity to outdoor fitness options and playgrounds means the kids have places to be. There's genuine room to grow here without immediately outgrowing the space.
