Why this home stands out
Unit 304 sits on the third floor of a building built in 1986, giving you elevated sightlines and a quieter perch above street noise. Two full bathrooms across two bedrooms means no sharing when guests arrive or when a roommate situation makes sense. The East Ocean View corridor is one of the few spots in Norfolk where the bay is genuinely part of everyday life — not just a weekend destination.
OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market
East Ocean View is the northeastern edge of Norfolk, Virginia, where the city trades its urban density for a laid-back, waterfront personality. Ocean View Avenue runs right along the Chesapeake Bay, and the neighborhood around it is a mix of longtime locals, military families, and buyers who discovered that bay breezes and reasonable commutes can coexist. The streets here are quieter than downtown or Ghent, but you're still very much inside the city — Norfolk's full range of dining, culture, and commerce is accessible without a long drive. The neighborhood has seen steady reinvestment over the past two decades, with newer restaurants and renovated properties mixing comfortably alongside older beach-cottage character. For anyone drawn to water views, morning walks on the sand, and a community that feels genuinely neighborly, East Ocean View delivers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate elsewhere in Hampton Roads.
What's nearby
Daily life around 2246 E Ocean View Ave is straightforward. Grocery runs, coffee stops, and casual dining are all within a short drive along the Ocean View corridor. Ocean View Beach Park is practically in your backyard, offering public beach access, a fishing pier, and open green space. The Chesapeake Bay itself is the defining amenity — sunrises over the water are a regular occurrence here, not a special event. Interstate 64 is easily reachable, connecting you to the broader Hampton Roads region, and the Lesner Bridge puts Virginia Beach within reach in minutes.
