Why this home stands out

E McGinnis Circle is a tucked-away loop street — not a through road — which means the only cars you see belong to neighbors. Nearly 2,000 square feet of living space spread across three bedrooms and two and a half baths gives a household room to breathe, and the 1956 construction era means solid masonry-era build quality. Two major military installations sit within an eleven-minute drive, and a VA loan makes that commute even more compelling for service members.

RIVER FORREST SHORES and the Norfolk real estate market

The 23502 zip code sits in the heart of Norfolk, Virginia — a city of roughly 240,000 that anchors the largest naval complex on earth. This particular corner of Norfolk blends established residential streets with a genuinely diverse commercial corridor along Military Highway. Neighbors have been here for decades in some cases, which gives the area a stable, rooted feel you don't always find in newer developments. Norfolk homes for sale in this zip tend to attract buyers who want urban convenience without downtown density — and E McGinnis Circle delivers exactly that. The city itself offers world-class waterfront dining, the Chrysler Museum of Art, and Nauticus just a short drive away, while the neighborhood keeps daily life low-key and manageable. Norfolk's city services, parks department, and public infrastructure all serve this address.

What's nearby

Hampton Roads Sports Academy is just 0.2 miles away — an easy walk for anyone who trains regularly. Top Flight Gymnastics Camp and Excalibur Gymnastics are both 0.6 miles out, handy if you have young athletes in the house. Poplar Hall Park and Hunts Pointe Park sit within 0.9 miles for weekend outdoor time. Haven Inn Bar & Grill is half a mile away for a casual dinner, and Ichran Japanese Ramen is 0.7 miles when you want something different. Grab coffee at Tim Hortons (0.8 mi) or Cool Flames Cafe (0.9 mi). Trinidad Latin Store and Royal Bazaar Indian Asian Market — both 0.9 miles — round out a genuinely multicultural grocery scene.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly ten minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is eleven — both well within the range most service members target for a manageable commute. A VA loan can simplify the financing side of the equation, and at nearly 2,000 square feet, there's real space for a family to settle in between deployments. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often find this zip code hits the sweet spot of commute time and neighborhood stability.

For first-time buyers

Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and nearly 2,000 square feet is a meaningful amount of home for a first purchase. The cul-de-sac location keeps traffic minimal, and the surrounding neighborhood is established rather than in flux — which matters when you're putting down roots for the first time. Buyers evaluating homes for sale in 23502 will find this address offers a solid foundation without the premium of a brand-new build.
