VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

231 Lenox Ave is a four-bedroom, two-bath home built in 1951 in Norfolk, Virginia, offering 1,852 square feet of living space just five minutes from Naval Station Norfolk — a practical, well-located address for households that value proximity to base without sacrificing room to spread out.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 231 Lenox Ave apart is the combination of genuine square footage and a location that almost nothing else in this price tier can match. Four bedrooms in a 1,852-square-foot footprint means everyone gets their own space, and the five-minute drive to Naval Station Norfolk makes gate-to-couch commutes genuinely short. Mid-century construction on this street tends to mean solid bones, wider lots than newer infill, and mature trees that younger subdivisions simply haven't had time to grow.

LENOX and the Norfolk real estate market

Lenox Ave sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk that punches above its weight for everyday livability. The streets here are quiet and established — the kind of neighborhood where neighbors recognize each other and front yards have had decades to mature. Norfolk itself is a city with real texture: a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene centered around the Chrysler Museum, and a food culture that ranges from hole-in-the-wall seafood spots to nationally recognized restaurants along Granby Street. If you've been searching for a norfolk home for sale that puts you close to both the base and the city's best amenities, this part of Norfolk delivers. The 23503 zip code keeps you well-connected — downtown Norfolk is a short drive west, the beach communities of Ocean View are just north, and Interstate 64 gives you a clean shot to Virginia Beach or the Peninsula whenever you need it. Daily errands, weekend adventures, and the commute to work all feel manageable from here.

What's nearby

Grocery runs are easy with a Food Lion and a Walmart Supercenter both within a couple of miles. For coffee, Starbucks locations along Little Creek Road and Virginia Beach Boulevard are quick stops on the way to base. Northside Park and Lakewood Park offer green space and walking paths close by. The Ocean View waterfront — with its fishing pier and beach access — is just a few minutes north. For dining, the Granby Street corridor in downtown Norfolk brings a full range of restaurants within a short drive, and the Military Circle area covers most big-box retail needs.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Five minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and six minutes to MARFORCOM Norfolk — that's the kind of commute that changes your daily quality of life. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and four bedrooms means you have room for a home office, a guest room for visiting family, or space for kids to grow without anyone feeling crowded. This address was practically designed for the military household.

For families upgrading

If your current place is running out of room, 231 Lenox Ave answers that problem with four bedrooms across 1,852 square feet. Mid-century homes on established streets like this one tend to offer larger lots and more mature landscaping than newer construction — you get the space inside and out. Norfolk's parks, waterfront, and community amenities make it an easy city to put down roots in for the long term.
