Why this home stands out
At 3,706 square feet, 1539 Bordeaux Place sits in a size category that's genuinely rare for in-city Norfolk living. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath means everyone gets their own corner of the house — and there's still space left over for a home office, a playroom, or whatever your household actually needs. The 1994 build year hits a practical sweet spot: solid construction with a layout that reflects how people actually live, not a floor plan designed around 1960s sensibilities.
LAFAYETTE SHORES and the Norfolk real estate market
Bordeaux Place sits within the 23509 zip code, a central Norfolk corridor that connects you to practically everything the city offers without pushing you to the outer edges. The streets here carry a quiet, established feel — mature trees, a mix of architectural styles, and neighbors who tend to stick around. It's the kind of block where you recognize faces. Norfolk itself is one of the most layered cities on the East Coast. You've got a working waterfront, a genuine arts district, world-class medical infrastructure, and a military presence that shapes the culture in ways both practical and community-oriented. The city has invested steadily in its urban core over the past decade, and that momentum is visible in the restaurants, breweries, and public spaces that keep expanding. Living here means you're close to everything Hampton Roads has to offer — the beaches of Virginia Beach are a short drive east, and the historic streets of Portsmouth sit just across the Elizabeth River.
What's nearby
Daily life runs smoothly from Bordeaux Place. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is roughly seven minutes away — a meaningful detail whether you're active duty, a dependent, or a civilian employee of the federal medical system. USCG Base Portsmouth is just eight minutes in the same direction. For everyday errands, the commercial corridors along Military Highway and Little Creek Road put grocery stores, pharmacies, and big-box retail within easy reach. Tidewater Community College's Norfolk campus is close by, and the broader Wards Corner area offers a growing mix of local dining and services. Downtown Norfolk's Granby Street corridor — with its restaurants, theaters, and waterfront — is a straightforward drive from the neighborhood.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and eight to USCG Base Portsmouth makes 1539 Bordeaux Place one of the more strategically located homes in the region for dual-military households or medical command families. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than many buyers expect — and 3,706 square feet means deployments and homecomings both happen in a house with real breathing room.
For families upgrading
If your current home has everyone stacked on top of each other, 1539 Bordeaux Place is the answer. Four bedrooms and three full baths across 3,706 square feet means kids get their own space, guests have a real room, and you're not sharing a single bathroom with the whole household on school mornings. The 1994 build gives you a layout that actually makes sense for family life — open enough to feel connected, with enough separation to stay sane.
