Why this home stands out
Four thousand square feet is rare this close to the water in Ocean View. Built in 2010, this 5-bedroom, 4.1-bath home gives you the square footage of a suburban estate with a walkable, beachside address. The half-bath adds everyday convenience, and the layout — spread across a well-planned floor plan — means there's room for everyone without anyone feeling crowded. It's a genuinely uncommon combination in this zip code.
OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market
Ocean View sits along the northern edge of Norfolk, where the Chesapeake Bay defines the neighborhood's personality as much as its geography. This is one of those communities that has been quietly leveling up for years — waterfront parks, independent restaurants, yoga studios, and a growing local food scene have all taken root along the main corridor. For anyone weighing military housing norfolk options, Ocean View's proximity to the base gate makes it a perennial favorite. The neighborhood has a laid-back, coastal energy without feeling remote — you're still firmly inside Norfolk, with easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads. Streets are walkable, the bay breeze is real, and the mix of longtime residents and newer arrivals gives the area a grounded, community-minded feel that's hard to manufacture.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from this address. Groceries are covered within a few blocks — Harris Teeter and Dollar General are both 0.2 miles away, with Beach Bay Mart another option at 0.4 miles. For dining, you're steps from De Rican Chef Restaurant Ocean View, The OV Beach Tavern, and Mudita Cafe & Bar, all within a tenth of a mile. Mudita doubles as a coffee stop, and Starbucks is just 0.2 miles out. Monkey Bottom Park is 0.1 miles away, Sarah Constant Beach Park is 0.2 miles, and a local beach access point is 0.3 miles — meaning the water is genuinely walkable.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Station Norfolk is a 6-minute drive from the front door, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is 7 minutes out. For service members using a VA loan or working with BAH, that commute math is hard to beat. Five bedrooms means deployments, homecomings, and the full rhythm of military family life all have room to breathe — and the neighborhood has a well-established community of military households who understand that rhythm.
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's shrinking, 4,037 square feet across five bedrooms and four full baths is the kind of space that actually solves the problem. Built in 2010, the home is young enough to avoid the maintenance surprises that come with older stock, and the Ocean View location means your family trades square footage for a beach-adjacent lifestyle — not the other way around.
