Why this home stands out
What sets 227 Twilley Street apart is its rare combination of four bedrooms and a five-minute commute to Naval Station Norfolk — a pairing that's genuinely hard to find at this size. The 1952 construction gives the home solid mid-century bones, and the Albemarle location puts you within easy reach of the waterfront, fitness options, and everyday conveniences without the congestion of busier Norfolk corridors.
ALBEMARLE and the Norfolk real estate market
Albemarle sits in the northern reaches of Norfolk, Virginia, tucked between the Ocean View waterfront and the main gate corridors of Naval Station Norfolk. It's a working neighborhood in the best sense — real streets, real neighbors, and a layout that makes daily life genuinely easy. The housing stock here is primarily mid-century single-family homes, and the community has a grounded, unpretentious character that appeals to people who want substance over flash. When you decide to buy a house in Norfolk, Albemarle often surprises buyers who assumed waterfront-adjacent living would require a much larger footprint or a much longer commute. Norfolk itself is an independent city in Virginia — it operates outside any county structure — which gives it its own school system, tax jurisdiction, and city services. The neighborhood connects quickly to Shore Drive, the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, and the broader Hampton Roads network via I-64, making it a practical anchor point whether you're heading to a base, a job, or the beach.
