2733 Mapleton Ave, Norfolk, VA 23504

Why this home stands out

The 1956 build gives this home solid mid-century bones — real plaster walls, generous room proportions, and a layout that spreads four bedrooms across a manageable footprint. Two full baths keep morning routines smooth. The lot puts Chick-fil-A and Tropical Smoothie Cafe within a two-minute walk, and both USCG Base Portsmouth and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are about five minutes by car. That combination of commute speed and daily convenience is hard to beat in this zip code.

HAYNES TRACT and the Norfolk real estate market

Mapleton Ave sits in the 23504 zip code, one of the more established corridors in Norfolk. The streets here are lined with mid-century brick homes that have aged into quiet, rooted blocks. Sidewalks connect the neighborhood to nearby parks and quick-service spots without needing a car. Broad Creek Neighborhood Spot and Broad Creek Legacy Park are both under half a mile away, giving the area a green, unhurried feel. Norfolk itself is a working waterfront city with real texture. Downtown Norfolk is roughly ten to fifteen minutes east, where you'll find the Chrysler Museum of Art, NEON District galleries, and the MacArthur Center. The Elizabeth River Trail connects neighborhoods to the waterfront on two wheels or on foot. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel are both close. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23504 will notice that this part of the city offers a central position without the density of the downtown core.
