2705 Myrtle Ave, Norfolk, VA 23504

Why this home stands out

What sets 2705 Myrtle Ave apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,211 feet across four bedrooms and three full baths — in a mid-century structure that has had decades to settle into its bones. Homes this size, with this many bathrooms, in a zip code this close to two major installations are genuinely rare. Add walkable food and fitness options literally steps away, and the everyday logistics of life here start to feel almost effortless.

HAYNES TRACT and the Norfolk real estate market

Myrtle Avenue sits in a working, walkable section of Norfolk — a city that has been reinventing itself block by block along the Elizabeth River corridor and beyond. This part of the 23504 zip code carries the practical energy of a neighborhood where people actually live: corner spots, local parks, and a mix of housing stock that ranges from compact bungalows to full-sized family homes like this one. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct districts, from the waterfront buzz of Ghent and Downtown to the quieter residential stretches further east. Here on Myrtle, you're in the middle ground — close enough to the city's core to take advantage of everything Norfolk offers, far enough from the tourist strip to feel like you're actually home. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk consistently find that this corridor delivers more square footage per block than many trendier neighborhoods, without sacrificing convenience.
