Why this home stands out
What sets 2406 Colley Ave apart is the rare combination of pre-war scale and a genuinely walkable urban address. At 3,500 square feet, homes from this era rarely offer this much room to spread out. Add two full baths, two half baths, and a location on one of Norfolk's most recognizable commercial corridors, and you have a property that's hard to replicate anywhere else in the city.
OLD DOMINION PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market
Old Dominion Place is one of Norfolk's most established residential pockets — a quiet, tree-lined enclave tucked just off the Colley Avenue corridor where the city's everyday energy is always within reach. The neighborhood dates to the early twentieth century, and that heritage shows in the architecture: broad lots, generous setbacks, and homes built with the kind of craftsmanship that simply isn't common anymore. If you've been browsing houses for sale in Norfolk and wondering where character and convenience actually overlap, this is the answer. Colley Avenue itself functions as a neighborhood main street — coffee shops, fitness studios, casual dining, and grocery options all within a short walk. Norfolk as a city offers a lot: a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene, and one of the most active military communities on the East Coast. Old Dominion Place sits close enough to enjoy all of it, while maintaining the calm, residential feel that makes coming home feel like a genuine exhale.
