Why this home stands out
Few homes in this corner of Norfolk deliver 3,996 square feet built in 1954 — a footprint that gives you real room to spread out. Five bedrooms and three full baths plus three half baths means the layout flexes for large households, multigenerational living, or anyone who simply wants a dedicated home office and still has guest space left over. The bones are classic mid-century, the scale is hard to match at this address.
EDGEWATER and the Norfolk real estate market
1507 Buckingham Ave sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk, Virginia, that benefits from an unusually convenient location — close to Old Dominion University's campus edge, yet tucked into a neighborhood of mature trees and established homes rather than student-heavy blocks. Norfolk is Hampton Roads' urban core, a city shaped by the water, the military, and decades of distinct neighborhood character. This part of the city carries a lived-in, genuine feel: sidewalks, older trees, and neighbors who tend to stay. Commuters appreciate the quick access to I-264 and Hampton Boulevard, which connect you to the broader region without the grind. Whether you're drawn to the Ghent arts scene a few miles south, the waterfront parks along the Elizabeth River, or just the ease of having everything close, this address puts you in a strong position inside one of Virginia's most dynamic cities.
