2420 Kennon Ave, Norfolk, VA 23513

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms and three full baths in a 1955-built home is a combination that is genuinely hard to find at this square footage. The 2,290-square-foot floor plan gives you room to spread out across multiple bedrooms without feeling cramped. That third full bath is the detail that changes daily routines. Add a location that puts two Portsmouth-area bases within eight minutes, and the address starts to make a lot of sense.

COLEMAN ANNEX and the Norfolk real estate market

Kennon Ave sits in a residential pocket of east Norfolk, a part of the city where mid-century homes line quiet streets and neighbors tend to know each other. The housing stock here is mostly single-family, built in the postwar decades, with the kind of solid bones that older construction is known for. Lots are generous by city standards, and the streets feel unhurried. This is the 23513 zip code, a workhorse part of Norfolk that connects easily to the rest of the region. Norfolk itself is one of the anchor cities of Hampton Roads, home to a major naval installation, a walkable downtown waterfront, and a arts and dining scene that punches above its size. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 and US-13 are both close, making trips to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, or Portsmouth quick. Daily errands stay local for most residents. The neighborhood rewards buyers who want real square footage in a city with genuine character.
