2970 Murray Ave, Norfolk, VA 23518

Why this home stands out

What sets 2970 Murray Ave apart is the combination of mid-century bones — the kind of construction that holds up decade after decade — and a location that puts two major military installations within a short commute. Four bedrooms gives you flexibility that most similarly sized homes in this corridor simply don't offer, whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest room, or space that grows with your household.

CAMELLIA ACRES and the Norfolk real estate market

Murray Ave sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk, a city that punches well above its weight for livability. This part of 23518 has a settled, residential feel — tree-lined blocks, neighbors who have been around long enough to wave hello, and a pace that's a notch quieter than the busier corridors closer to downtown. You're close enough to the water that East Beach is less than a mile away, yet the street itself stays calm. Norfolk as a whole offers a remarkable mix: a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene anchored by the Chrysler Museum, and one of the most military-connected economies on the East Coast. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often find that this northeastern pocket delivers the best of both worlds — genuine neighborhood character without sacrificing access to bases, shopping, or the bay.
