2615 Ballentine Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23509

Why this home stands out

Built in 1926, 2615 Ballentine Boulevard carries the kind of architectural bones that newer construction simply cannot replicate — thick walls, period detailing, and a footprint that has stood for nearly a hundred years. At 2,665 square feet, the multi-family layout offers genuine flexibility, whether you're thinking about extended family, a house-hack strategy, or simply owning a larger piece of Norfolk real estate with room to grow into.

BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Ballentine Boulevard runs through a working, walkable section of Norfolk that feels lived-in in the best possible way. The surrounding blocks mix early-twentieth-century architecture with small businesses and community anchors, giving the street a grounded, neighborhood-first character that's increasingly rare inside city limits. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast — home to the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts district in the Ghent and Granby corridors, and a waterfront that shapes daily life year-round. The 23509 zip code sits at a practical crossroads: close enough to downtown Norfolk for a quick commute, and well-positioned for anyone whose work or lifestyle ties them to the Portsmouth waterfront. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land here once they realize how much square footage and character the area delivers relative to newer suburban alternatives.
