Why this home stands out

Built in 1930, this home carries the kind of detail that newer construction rarely matches. Four bedrooms and 1,500 square feet give you real room to work with. The half-bath adds everyday convenience. Two full baths round out the layout. The neighborhood sits close to two major installations and a dense ring of daily-errand destinations. That combination of character, space, and location is hard to find at this zip code.

BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

The 23509 zip code sits in the heart of Norfolk, east of the Elizabeth River and just south of the Lafayette River corridor. Streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century homes, many of them brick, with deep front porches and mature trees overhead. The blocks feel established and lived-in. Ballentine Boulevard itself is a wide, tree-lined road that connects the neighborhood to the broader city grid quickly. Norfolk is one of the largest cities in Virginia and the center of the Hampton Roads metro. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel are both within a short drive. The waterfront, Ghent, and downtown Norfolk are all reachable in under fifteen minutes. Anyone comparing Norfolk homes for sale will notice that 23509 offers city access without the congestion of the urban core.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from 2851 Ballentine Boulevard. A Walmart Neighborhood Market is 0.5 miles away, and Provision Pros Inc is just as close. T's Seafood is a short 0.1-mile walk for a quick dinner out. Crazy Wings and Barbecue-Blackstones are both under half a mile. Wawa and 7-Eleven handle early mornings without a detour. The Joan Kroc Center is 0.7 miles away and offers full fitness facilities. Tait Terrace Dog Park and a general Dog Park are both 0.6 miles from the front door.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

USCG Base Portsmouth is about seven minutes away by car. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is also roughly seven minutes in the same direction. VA loan financing is widely used in this part of Norfolk, and the home's four-bedroom layout means you are not compromising on space. Homes for sale in 23509 with this kind of base access do not come up often.

For first-time buyers

A 1930s home with four bedrooms and 1,500 square feet is a meaningful amount of space for a first purchase. The walkable block cuts down on car trips for everyday needs. Grocery stores, parks, and restaurants are all under a mile. The layout includes 2.5 baths, which means fewer morning bottlenecks from day one.
