Why this home stands out
What sets 2735 Keller Ave apart is the combination of a well-established mid-century neighborhood and an unbeatable position between two major military installations. Ballentine Place has the kind of tree-lined, settled character that newer subdivisions spend decades trying to grow into. The 1952 build means solid bones, generous room proportions, and a lot that fits naturally into the surrounding streetscape — not a squeezed infill product.
BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market
Ballentine Place sits in the heart of Norfolk, a city whose identity is shaped by the water, the military, and a genuinely diverse mix of people who've chosen to put down roots here. The neighborhood itself dates to the post-war era, which means wide lots, mature trees, and streets that feel lived-in rather than freshly stamped out of a developer's mold. Neighbors tend to stay a while — you'll notice it in the well-kept yards and the familiar faces at Shoop Park a few blocks away. Norfolk real estate in this pocket of the city offers something that's harder to find closer to the waterfront: space, quiet, and a sense of place without the premium price tag that comes with a water view. You're in Norfolk's eastern interior, which keeps you close to both the Portsmouth waterfront corridor and the broader Hampton Roads metro without being in the thick of any one scene. It's a practical, pleasant place to live.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy from Keller Ave. Provision Pros Inc is just 0.3 miles away for quick grocery runs, and Dollar General is within 0.6 miles for household staples. When you'd rather let someone else cook, Barbecue-Blackstones is two blocks away, Crazy Wings and T's Seafood are both within 0.3 miles, and all three cover very different cravings. Coffee and morning fuel are covered by the Wawa at 0.7 miles or the closer 7-Eleven at 0.5 miles. For fitness, the Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Athletic Club are both about 0.8 miles out — solid options for a regular routine. Tait Terrace Dog Park is 0.4 miles away, right alongside Shoop Park, making this address genuinely walkable for dog owners.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly six minutes from the front door, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about seven. That kind of proximity makes BAH go further and keeps commutes short — a real quality-of-life win for active-duty households. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the neighborhood's stability means you're not gambling on an up-and-coming area. This is a proven, settled community with easy base access.
For first-time buyers
If you're exploring homes for sale in Norfolk Virginia and want a neighborhood that already has its identity figured out, Ballentine Place is worth a serious look. A 3-bed, 2-bath layout at 1,552 square feet gives you room to grow without the overhead of a larger home. The 1952 build brings character you can't manufacture, and the walkable access to parks, restaurants, and daily errands means you won't feel car-dependent from day one.
