2739 Keller Ave, Norfolk, VA 23509

Why this home stands out

A century-old home carries details you simply cannot replicate in new construction. The bones here date to 1921, which means thick walls, mature trees, and a lot that has had decades to settle into the block. At 1,780 square feet across three bedrooms and two baths, the layout gives you room without excess. Two major installations are under ten minutes away, and the neighborhood sits inside the 23509 zip code — one of Norfolk's more centrally located pockets.

BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Keller Ave sits in a quiet residential stretch of Norfolk where early-twentieth-century homes line the streets. The housing stock here leans toward craftsman-era builds with front porches, mature canopy trees, and modest but well-defined lots. It is the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23509 with genuine neighborhood character rather than cookie-cutter sameness. Streets are walkable, and neighbors tend to know each other. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct districts — from the Ghent arts corridor to the waterfront at Town Point Park. Getting around is straightforward. Interstate 264 and US-13 are both accessible within minutes. The Norfolk light rail connects downtown to the medical district. Hampton Roads Transit bus lines run through the area as well. Whether you are heading to work, the waterfront, or a weekend market, Norfolk keeps the drive short.
