1916 Arlington Avenue is a 3,812-square-foot home built in 2007 in Norfolk, Virginia 23523. It offers three bedrooms and six and a half baths across a generous floor plan. USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about four minutes away. Among Norfolk homes for sale, this address stands out for its size and location.
At 3,812 square feet, 1916 Arlington Avenue delivers space that is genuinely hard to find at this price point in the 23523 zip code. Built in 2007, the home carries a modern bones — think updated systems and construction standards that older Norfolk stock simply cannot match. Six and a half bathrooms across three bedrooms means everyone gets breathing room. Two major installations sit within a four-minute drive, making the commute window almost nonexistent.
CAMPOSTELLA HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market
Arlington Avenue sits in a south Norfolk corridor that connects residential blocks to the broader city grid quickly and cleanly. The streets here are a mix of established single-family homes and newer builds like this one from 2007. Neighbors are close enough to feel like a community, but lots give you real separation. Chesterfield Heights Park is right down the road, adding green space to a mostly urban streetscape. The area feeds into Norfolk's larger network of corridors heading toward downtown and the waterfront. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast. The Elizabeth River frames the city's western and southern edges, and the downtown arts district anchors its cultural life. Getting around is straightforward — major routes fan out in every direction from this part of the city. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23523 will notice that this zip code puts you close to both the shipyard corridor and the city's southern commercial spine. Daily errands, dining, and green space are all within a short drive.

USCG Base Portsmouth is about four minutes away by car. Norfolk Naval Shipyard matches that same commute.
