Why this home stands out

A 1918 multi-family building carries a kind of bones you simply don't find in newer construction. At 2,600 square feet, there's real space to work with here. The Ocean View waterfront is walkable. Naval Station Norfolk is a five-minute drive, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is seven. That combination — historic scale, beach access, and back-to-back base proximity — is rare among Norfolk homes for sale at any price point.

OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market

West Balview Avenue sits in Norfolk's Ocean View neighborhood, one of the city's most distinctive coastal pockets. The streets here run close to the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, lined with a mix of early-twentieth-century homes and more recent infill. It's a neighborhood with texture — longtime residents, waterfront parks, and a low-key dining scene all within a few blocks. Ocean View has been quietly drawing attention as one of the more livable stretches of the Norfolk waterfront. The broader city of Norfolk is Virginia's second-largest, with a working port, a strong arts district in Ghent, and easy highway access across the region. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 64 is close, and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel connects you west toward Hampton and beyond. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice that Ocean View offers a coastal lifestyle that most city neighborhoods simply can't match. The zip code 23503 is one of the few in Hampton Roads where you can walk to the water and still be minutes from major employment centers.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from W Balview Ave. Harris Teeter is 0.4 miles away, and Tienda Latina La Tapatia 3 is just 0.2 miles for specialty groceries. Oceanview Diner and Doug's Hot Dogs are both within a few blocks for a quick meal. A Starbucks Coffee Company and a 7-Eleven are 0.4 miles out when you need a morning coffee run. Community Beach Park and Ocean View Beach Park are each about 0.3 miles away — genuinely walkable. The Yoga Space is 0.2 miles if you want a studio nearby. Lake Modoc adds another green-space option half a mile from the front door.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Station Norfolk is about five minutes by car — one of the shortest base commutes you'll find among homes for sale in 23503. MARFORCOM Norfolk is seven minutes. VA loan financing is widely used in this zip code, and the property's scale and proximity make it a strong candidate for that financing path. Quick access to the gate means more time at home and less time in traffic.

For buyers drawn to character

Built in 1918, this property carries more than a century of Norfolk history in its structure. Multi-family buildings from this era have thick walls, high ceilings, and craftsmanship that modern construction rarely replicates. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Granby High School who also wants a property with genuine architectural age will find very few options that check both boxes. This one does.
