Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Unit 70 at 255 College Cross stands out for its sheer proximity to two major installations. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is roughly one minute away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is about two minutes out. The building sits in the 23510 zip code, close to the Elizabeth River waterfront. Ben White Dog Park and The Pier at Brooke Avenue are both within a two-tenths-of-a-mile walk. Few addresses in Norfolk deliver that combination of urban access and outdoor space this close together.

FREEMASON HARBOUR and the Norfolk real estate market

The 23510 zip code covers one of Norfolk's most walkable and historically layered corners. College Cross sits near the Ghent and Downtown Norfolk edges, where early-twentieth-century architecture meets newer infill. Streets here are lined with mature trees, and the Elizabeth River is never far from view. Smith Creek borders the neighborhood to the north, adding a quiet natural buffer to an otherwise active urban setting. Residents can walk to coffee, food, and fitness without needing a car. Norfolk itself is the anchor city of Hampton Roads, home to a working waterfront, a performing arts scene, and the MacArthur Memorial. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel connect the city to Virginia Beach and Portsmouth in minutes. Anyone browsing Norfolk homes for sale will find that the 23510 zip code consistently offers walkable blocks, historic character, and fast access to the region's major corridors. The neighborhood rewards those who want city life with room to breathe.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from this address. Mercato Di Grazia and MacArthur General Store are both about half a mile away for grocery runs. Cure Coffeehouse is just 0.3 miles out and doubles as a neighborhood gathering spot. Sirens Subs and The Restaurant at Four Eleven York are both within a short walk for meals. Rich Port Coffee and Marley's @ the Y! round out the coffee options nearby. The Blocker Norfolk Family YMCA is 0.4 miles away for workouts, and Riverview Aquatics Center is half a mile out. Ben White Dog Park is only 0.2 miles from the front door.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about one minute by car from 255 College Cross. USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly two minutes out. A VA loan is a common financing path for this type of property, and the 23510 zip code is well inside the commute radius that many BAH calculations favor. Both installations are accessible without highway driving, which keeps daily commutes simple and predictable.

For first-time buyers

At 1,518 square feet, this two-bedroom, two-bath condo gives first-time buyers real room without the maintenance load of a detached home. The building is in the heart of walkable Norfolk, so car trips for coffee or groceries are optional. Smith Creek Park and Ben White Dog Park are both within a short walk. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23510 will find this address punches above its size in location and lifestyle access.

Special Flood Hazard Area — 1% annual chance of flooding. Federal flood insurance is required on most mortgages.

Data sources: Flood zone and base flood elevation come from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Property elevation is sampled from a single point on the parcel using the USGS National Map elevation service — actual elevations across a single property can vary by several feet higher or lower than the figure shown. Use these numbers as a starting reference and do your own due diligence (a professional survey or elevation certificate) before relying on them for any financial, insurance, or construction decision.

Zone AE typically means lenders require flood insurance. Factor it into the monthly numbers below.
