1634 E Ocean View Ave #1A sits in Norfolk's East Ocean View corridor, about three blocks from the Chesapeake Bay. This 926-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath condo was built in 1985. Both JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and Naval Station Norfolk are roughly eight minutes away. It's a compact, beach-close address in one of Norfolk's most recognizable waterfront zip codes.
What sets this unit apart is the combination of beach proximity and dual-base access in a single package under 1,000 square feet. Grove St. Beach Access is just 0.3 miles away — a three-minute walk to the Chesapeake Bay. Two full baths in a two-bedroom layout is a practical feature that not every condo in this size range offers. The 23503 zip code sits at the northern edge of Norfolk, giving you quick routes both east toward the oceanfront and west toward downtown.
OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market
East Ocean View is Norfolk's northernmost waterfront neighborhood, stretching along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline. The streets here run a mix of older ranch-style homes, mid-rise condos, and small apartment buildings — all within a short walk or bike ride of the water. The atmosphere is laid-back and coastal without the heavy tourist traffic you find further south. Neighbors tend to know each other, and the bay is a constant presence at the end of nearly every block. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23503 will notice that this zip code offers some of the most direct bay access in the city. Norfolk itself is Virginia's second-largest city and the anchor of the Hampton Roads metro. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 64 is accessible in minutes, and the Midtown and Downtown tunnels connect you to the Peninsula and Virginia Beach. The city's Tide light rail line serves the downtown and medical district corridor. Norfolk's waterfront, Ghent neighborhood, and MacArthur Center are all reachable in under 20 minutes from East Ocean View.
