Why this home stands out

At nearly 1,900 square feet, this 1956 ranch-style home gives you more room than most mid-century builds in the area. Two full baths and three bedrooms spread across a single level keep the layout practical. The 23502 zip code puts you within ten minutes of both USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard. That kind of dual-base access is genuinely hard to find in one address.

River Forrest Shores and the Norfolk real estate market

The streets around E McGinnis Circle carry the quiet, established feel of a mid-century Norfolk neighborhood. Mature trees line the blocks, and the homes here tend to be solid brick and frame builds from the 1950s and 1960s. Lots are generous by city standards, and the pace on the street is unhurried. Poplar Hall Park and Hunts Pointe Park are both under a mile away, giving the area a green edge that newer developments rarely match. Norfolk itself is one of the most layered cities on the East Coast. The waterfront, the arts district, and the historic neighborhoods all sit within a short drive. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 and Military Highway connect you to the broader Hampton Roads region quickly. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will find that the 23502 zip code sits at a practical crossroads of the city. Daily errands, commutes, and weekend plans all work from here without much friction.

What's nearby

Hampton Roads Sports Academy is just 0.2 miles away — an easy walk for anyone who trains regularly. Haven Inn Bar and Grill is half a mile out for a casual dinner close to home. Ichran Japanese Ramen and a 7-Eleven are both 0.7 miles away when you need a quick bite or a coffee run. Tim Hortons and Cool Flames Cafe round out the coffee options within a mile. For groceries, Trinidad Latin Store and Royal Bazaar Indian Asian Market both sit at 0.9 miles, offering a wide range of specialty ingredients. Top Flight Gymnastics Camp and Excalibur Gymnastics are also nearby at 0.6 miles.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about ten minutes away by car. That dual-base proximity keeps commute time low no matter which installation is your primary duty station. VA loan financing is widely used in this zip code, and the 1956 construction date means the home has had decades of structural settling. A straightforward transaction with familiar financing options.

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and two full baths across 1,896 square feet give you real room to spread out. The single-level layout means storage, living space, and sleeping quarters all flow without stairs. Poplar Hall Park and Hunts Pointe Park are under a mile away for outdoor time. Top Flight Gymnastics Camp and Excalibur Gymnastics are both 0.6 miles out for after-school activities.
