Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

165 Commodore Drive is a five-bedroom, 1942-built home in Norfolk, Virginia, sitting less than a mile from Naval Station Norfolk. With 1,656 square feet, a half-bath in addition to the full bath, and a neighborhood park literally steps away, this address punches well above its footprint.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 165 Commodore Drive apart is the rare combination of a five-bedroom floor plan in a compact, manageable square footage — meaning lower carrying costs without sacrificing room count. Add a four-minute drive to Naval Station Norfolk, a walkable park at the end of the block, and the kind of established 1940s neighborhood character that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate, and you have an address that works hard for its owners.

COMMODORE PARK and the Norfolk real estate market

165 Commodore Drive sits in a quiet, established corner of Norfolk, Virginia — a city that has been shaping Hampton Roads for centuries and continues to draw residents who want urban access without urban chaos. The streets here carry the unhurried feel of a mid-century neighborhood that has aged gracefully: mature trees, modest lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stay. Norfolk itself is one of the most strategically located cities on the East Coast, bordered by the Chesapeake Bay and the Elizabeth River, and home to the world's largest naval station. That proximity to Naval Station Norfolk isn't just a military footnote — it shapes the entire rhythm of the surrounding community, from the diversity of residents to the reliability of local commerce. Whether you're drawn to the waterfront parks, the independent restaurants along nearby corridors, or simply the ease of getting anywhere in Hampton Roads via the interstate network, living at this address puts you close to all of it.

What's nearby

A neighborhood park sits just 0.1 miles from the front door — a genuine walk-out-and-you're-there convenience for morning routines or afternoon wind-downs. Ely Memorial Park and Greyhawk 620 are both within 0.4 miles for more open-air options. Fitness is well covered: CrossFit Norfolk and OV Fit are each 0.7 miles out, and the Aviation Water Survival Training Center is just 0.5 miles away. For a quick bite, New York Pizzeria is 0.7 miles, and Golden City offers another solid option at 0.8 miles. A 7-Eleven covers both convenience and coffee within the same short radius.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Four minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and five minutes to MARFORCOM Norfolk — 165 Commodore Drive is about as close to the gate as you can get without living on base. Five bedrooms give growing military families the flexibility they need, and the VA loan benefit makes this address even more accessible for those who've earned it.

For first-time buyers

Five bedrooms at this square footage means you're getting real versatility — home office, guest room, hobby space — without overextending on size. The 1942 construction gives the home genuine character, the neighborhood park is steps away, and Naval Station Norfolk is close enough that the surrounding community is active and stable. It's a practical, livable first step into Norfolk homeownership.
