2436 Ballentine Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23509

Why this home stands out

Built in 1916, 2436 Ballentine Blvd carries the kind of architectural bones that newer construction simply cannot replicate — tall ceilings, generous room proportions, and a footprint that gives four bedrooms and two full baths across more than 2,300 square feet. That scale, combined with a location that puts two major military installations within a ten-minute drive, makes this address genuinely hard to match among Norfolk homes for sale at this size and vintage.

BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Ballentine Boulevard sits in a mature, established corridor of Norfolk — a city that has been reinventing itself while holding onto the neighborhood fabric that makes it livable. The 23509 zip code occupies the south-central belt of the city, where older residential streets meet practical commercial strips without losing their residential feel. Tree-lined blocks, front porches, and houses with real history give the area a grounded, unhurried character. Norfolk itself is the anchor of Hampton Roads — home to the world's largest naval station, a growing downtown arts and dining scene, and waterfront parks along the Elizabeth River. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel connect you west into Portsmouth or east toward Virginia Beach in under twenty minutes. If you are comparing homes for sale in Norfolk across different zip codes, the 23509 pocket rewards you with proximity to both bases and the city core without the premium of waterfront addresses.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands barely require a car from Ballentine Boulevard. Walmart Neighborhood Market and Provision Pros Inc are both within half a mile, and a BP station rounds out quick grocery runs. When you want to eat out, T's Seafood is just a tenth of a mile away — practically walkable — while Crazy Wings and Barbecue-Blackstones are under half a mile for casual weeknight options. Morning routines are covered by a Wawa and a 7-Eleven within five blocks. For fitness, the Joan Kroc Center and The Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads offer full-facility options under a mile out, with Chesapeake Athletic Club close behind. Tait Terrace Dog Park and the adjacent Dog Park, both under a mile, make this address especially appealing if a four-legged family member is part of the picture.
