Why this home stands out

Four bedrooms in 1,360 square feet is a practical layout that gives you real flexibility. The 1985 build means the bones are solid without the quirks of a much older home. Two military installations sit within six minutes, and Lafayette Dog Park is just three-tenths of a mile down the road. Local dining and grocery options are all within half a mile. That combination of space, access, and walkable daily life is hard to find at this address.

GOWRIE PARK and the Norfolk real estate market

Blair Ave sits in a quiet residential pocket of Norfolk near the 23509 zip code boundary. The streets here are lined with single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s, giving the area a consistent, established feel. Sidewalks connect the blocks, and neighbors tend to know each other. Shoop Park is half a mile away and adds green space to the mix. The broader Norfolk fabric wraps around this area with a lot of variety — waterfront districts, historic corridors, and busy commercial strips are all within a short drive. Norfolk itself is one of the larger cities on the East Coast, and it carries that energy without losing its neighborhood character. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel connect you to Virginia Beach and Portsmouth quickly. Granby Street, about a mile north, is the city's main commercial artery and a good gauge of how lively Norfolk stays year-round. Anyone browsing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice how much the city has invested in its core neighborhoods over the past decade.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from Blair Ave. Dollar General is 0.2 miles away, Watergate 5 is 0.4 miles, and Tees rounds out the grocery options at 0.5 miles. Our Peoples Soulful Seafood is a short walk at 0.3 miles, and Quick Eats by Nikki and The Annex are both within half a mile for casual dining. Todd's Eastside Boxing Club, Mike The Fitness Junkie, and Latitude Climbing and Fitness cover your workout options within six-tenths of a mile. Blaze on Granby and Coalescence Coffee Company are both under a mile away when you need a coffee run. Lafayette Dog Park is just 0.3 miles from the front door.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about six minutes from 1711 Blair Ave, and USCG Base Portsmouth is the same distance in a different direction. VA loan financing is widely used in this part of Norfolk, and the 23509 area has a solid track record with appraisals. Four bedrooms give you room to set up a home office or guest space without squeezing. That kind of commute and that kind of layout are worth putting on your shortlist.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms give you real options — a primary suite, two kids' rooms, and a dedicated workspace or guest room. The 1,360-square-foot footprint is compact enough to maintain but large enough to spread out. Lafayette Dog Park is 0.3 miles away, and Shoop Park adds another green space at half a mile.
