At a glance

1531 Longwood Drive is a four-bedroom, 1918-built home in Norfolk, Virginia, offering 1,800 square feet of character-rich living just six minutes from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth — a rare combination of historic charm and genuine military-commute convenience.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Homes built in 1918 carry a personality that newer construction simply can't replicate — tall ceilings, solid bones, and architectural details that have outlasted a century of trends. At 1,800 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths, 1531 Longwood Drive gives you real living space without sacrificing the craftsmanship of an earlier era. Add a sub-ten-minute drive to two major military installations and you have a combination that's genuinely hard to find.

LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market

Longwood Drive sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk that feels unhurried without being remote. The streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century homes on established lots, and the neighborhood has the kind of lived-in stability that newer subdivisions spend decades trying to earn. If you've been searching for a house for sale in norfolk va that puts you close to the waterfront, the medical district, and the heart of the city all at once, this corridor delivers. Norfolk itself is one of Hampton Roads' most layered cities — home to a deep-water port, a thriving arts scene along Granby Street, and some of the region's most walkable urban neighborhoods. The 23508 zip code in particular sits at a comfortable crossroads: close enough to downtown Norfolk for a quick dinner out, and close enough to the Portsmouth bridge crossings to make base commutes genuinely painless. It's a part of the city that rewards buyers who appreciate character over cookie-cutter.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands from 1531 Longwood Drive are straightforward. Ghent — Norfolk's most walkable neighborhood — is just a short drive away and brings with it independent coffee shops, restaurants, and boutique retail. The Janaf shopping corridor handles bigger grocery and pharmacy runs efficiently. Larchmont-Edgewater Park offers green space and water views nearby, and the Norfolk Botanical Garden is within easy reach for weekend mornings worth lingering over. Portsmouth's historic Olde Towne district is accessible in under fifteen minutes, adding another layer of dining and waterfront options to your regular rotation.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Six minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and eight minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — 1531 Longwood Drive sits in one of the tightest commute windows you'll find for either installation. Four bedrooms give a growing military family real room to spread out, and a VA loan can make this century-old home even more accessible. Stability, space, and a short drive to the gate: that's a hard combination to beat in this market.

For buyers drawn to character

If your idea of a great home involves original architectural details, rooms with actual proportions, and a street that looks like it has a history — 1531 Longwood Drive is worth your attention. Built in 1918, this four-bedroom property is part of a Norfolk neighborhood where the homes have genuine stories. Exploring homes in norfolk with this kind of age and integrity takes patience; finding one with four bedrooms and a practical layout is the payoff.
